背景：研究生医学教育认证委员会 (ACGME) 通用计划要求规定，教师必须建立和维护探究和学术的环境。文献计量学是对书面出版物的统计分析，评估科学生产力和影响力。本研究的目的是了解小儿外科培训项目的奖学金状况。方法：在 IRB 批准后，使用 Scopus 为美国小儿外科培训项目和教师生成文献计量资料。进行了统计分析。结果：从 48 个美国培训项目中获得了 430 名外科医生（105 名女性）的信息。每个外科医生项目的平均寿命 h 指数为 14.4+/-4.7（6 个项目高于 1 SD，9 个项目低于 1 SD）。每个外科医生项目的平均 5 年 h 指数为 3.92+/-1.5（7 个项目高于 1 SD，8 个项目低于 1 SD）。 2000 年之后认可的项目的生命周期 h 指数低于 2000 年之前认可的项目 (p = 0.0378)。与男性外科医生相比，女性外科医生的终生 h 指数 (p < 0.0001)、5 年 h 指数 (p = 0.0049) 和 mquotient (p < 0.0001) 较低。平均寿命 h 指数随着学术排名的增加而增加 (p < 0.0001)，助理教授级别之外没有性别差异 (p = NS)。结论：根据机构、性别和排名确定了变异性。这些信息可用于衡量教师和项目的学术生产力，并作为晋升/终身教职决策的辅助手段。研究类型：原创研究。 (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Common Program Requirements state that faculty must establish and maintain an environment of inquiry and scholarship. Bibliometrics, the statistical analysis of written publications, assesses scientific productivity and impact. The goal of this study was to understand the state of scholarship at Pediatric Surgery training programs.Methods: Following IRB approval, Scopus was used to generate bibliometric profiles for US Pediatric Surgery training programs and faculty. Statistical analyses were performed.Results: Information was obtained for 430 surgeons (105 female) from 48 US training programs. The mean lifetime h-index/surgeon for programs was 14.4+/-4.7 (6 programs above 1 SD, 9 programs below 1 SD). The mean 5-year h-index/surgeon for programs was 3.92+/-1.5 (7 programs above 1 SD, 8 programs below 1 SD). Programs accredited after 2000 had a lower lifetime h-index than those accredited before 2000 (p = 0.0378). Female surgeons had a lower lifetime h-index (p < 0.0001), 5-year h-index (p = 0.0049), and mquotient (p < 0.0001) compared to males. Mean lifetime h-index increased with academic rank (p < 0.0001), with no gender differences beyond the assistant professor rank (p = NS).Conclusion: Variability was identified based on institution, gender, and rank. This information can be used for benchmarking the academic productivity of faculty and programs and as an adjunct in promotion/tenure decisions. Type of Study: Original Research.
