目标/假设：h指数是一个客观且易于计算的指标，可用于评估单个作者的科学贡献的相关性和数量。我们的目的是研究学术耳鼻喉科医生的h指数与学术排名的关系。研究设计：采用描述性和相关性设计，利用Scopus数据库分析学术耳鼻喉科医生的h指数。方法：采用Scopus数据库计算50个耳鼻喉科住院医师的h指数，并按学术等级进行排序。此外，还对不同专业部门主任的h指数进行了分析。结果：学术型耳鼻喉科医师在助理教授、副教授、教授级别的学术等级越高，h指数越高。耳鼻喉科教授与系主任的h指数差异无统计学意义。对不同学术专业的主席的h指数进行了比较，结果存在显著差异，这表明使用该指标可能不适合比较不同领域。结论：h指数是量化耳鼻喉科学术生产力的可靠工具。这一措施很容易计算，并且在评估学术耳鼻喉科的进步决策时可能有用。然而，在不同领域的教员之间比较这一指标可能并不可靠。喉镜,2013
Objective/Hypothesis: The h-index is an objective and easily calculable measure that can be used to evaluate both the relevance and amount of scientific contributions of an individual author. Our objective was to examine how the h-index of academic otolaryngologists relates with academic rank. Study Design: A descriptive and correlational design was used for analysis of academic otolaryngologists' h-indices using the Scopus database. Methods: H-indices of faculty members from 50 otolaryngology residency programs were calculated using the Scopus database, and data was organized by academic rank. Additionally, an analysis of the h-indices of departmental chairpersons among different specialties was performed. Results: H-index values of academic otolaryngologists were higher with increased academic rank among the levels of assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. There was no significant difference between the h-indices of professors and department chairpersons within otolaryngology. H-indices of chairpersons in different academic specialties were compared and were significantly different, suggesting that the use of this metric may not be appropriate for comparing different fields. Conclusions: The h-index is a reliable tool for quantifying academic productivity within otolaryngology. This measure is easily calculable and may be useful when evaluating decisions regarding advancement within academic otolaryngology departments. Comparison of this metric among faculty members from different fields, however, may not be reliable. Laryngoscope, 2013
