论文摘要
在本文中,我们开发了一种评估现场领土科学财富的方法。我们的方法基于对每个领域的学术研究表现和整体科学生产的观察,使用了文献计量方法。我们将其应用于评估COVID-19紧急情况前线医学专业的意大利领土的差异。意大利一直是西方国家中第一个受到19日大流行病发作的严重影响的西方国家。该研究揭示了各个领土上的显着不平等,科学弱点集中在南部。重新平衡南北鸿沟的政策除了有形资产外,还应考虑生产差距和优质医学知识的差距。
In this paper we develop a methodology to assess the scientific wealth of territories at field level. Our methodology uses a bibliometric approach based on the observation of academic research performance and overall scientific production in each territory. We apply it to assess disparities in the Italian territories in the medical specialties at the front line of the COVID-19 emergency. Italy has been the first among western countries to be severely affected by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study reveals remarkable inequities across territories, with scientific weaknesses concentrated in the south. Policies for rebalancing the north-south divide should also consider, in addition to tangible assets, the gap in production and availability of quality medical knowledge.
