Breaking the Translational Barriers: The Value of Integrating Biomedical Informatics and Translational Research is a research paper published in Journal of Investigative Medicine (2005). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 4.7. It has been cited 94 times, with 53 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
The conduct of translational health research has become a vital national enterprise. However, multiple barriers prevent the effective translation of basic science discoveries into clinical and community practice. New information technology (IT) applications could help address these barriers. Unfortunately, owing to a combination of organizational, technical, and social factors, neither physician-investigators and research staff nor their clinical and community counterparts have harnessed such applications. Recently, at the request of the Institute of Medicine's Clinical Research Roundtable, a qualitative study of these factors was conducted at several leading academic medical centers. We explore the current status of IT in the translational research domain, describe the qualitative results, and conclude with a proposed set of initiatives to further increase the integration of IT into translational research.

Citation Network Contribution
4.0
From 44 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 14% comes from its base citations and 86% from the citation network (44 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
