IntroductionTo探讨性别差异，在普通外科部门的出版物，我们进行了一个横断面比较的数量的女性和男性在每个学术等级和他们的第一作者（FA），中间作者（MA），最后一个作者（LA），和总publications.MethodsThirty学术普通外科部门被随机选择。对于每一个教师，我们列出了：第一，中间，姓，性别，学术排名，教育领导，医学院毕业的年份，以及额外的研究生学位。参考书目，H-指数和引文从Scopus database.Results1326教师抽样，881（66.4%）男性和445（33.5%）女性。在所有级别上，男子人数都超过妇女，在较高级别上差距越来越大。在所有的专科中，男性多于女性，最大的差异是移植手术（84.4%vs15.6%，P < 0.001）。男性在各个级别的硕士论文发表率均高于男性：助理教授（比率1.20; 95%可信区间，1.01- 1.43，P = 0.024）、副教授（1.65; 1.31- 2.06，P < 0.001）和教授（1.50; 1.20- 1.91，P = 0.008）。男性副教授在LA的发表次数较多（1.74; 1.34- 2.37，P < 0.001）。在任何级别的FA出版物中没有发现差异，助理教授和教授级别的LA出版物也没有。在亚专业水平，男性在外科肿瘤学（1.95; 1.55- 2.45，P < 0.001）和移植外科（1.70; 1.09- 2.66，P = 0.02）有更多的MA publications.ConclusionsWhile FA和LA publications没有显着差异性别，最大的差异在于MA出版物，从初级开始，并坚持与资深。MA出版物的差异可能反映了合作机会的性别差异，因此在确定学术生产力时应谨慎使用总出版物。
IntroductionTo explore gender discrepancies in publications at general surgery departments, we performed a cross-sectional comparing the number of women and men at each academic rank and their number of first author (FA), middle author (MA), last author (LA), and total publications.MethodsThirty academic general surgery departments were randomly selected. For each faculty, we tabulated: first, middle, last names, gender, academic rank, educational leadership, year of medical school graduation, and additional graduate degrees. Bibliography, H-index, and citations were downloaded from the Scopus database.ResultsOne thousand three hundred twenty-six faculty sampled, 881 (66.4%) men and 445 (33.5%) women. Men outnumbered women at all ranks, with increasing disparity at higher ranks. Men outnumbered women in all subspecialties—largest difference in transplant surgery (84.4%versus15.6%,P< 0.001). Men at all ranks had more MA publications: assistant professor (rate ratio 1.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.43,P= 0.024), associate professor (1.65; 1.31-2.06,P< 0.001), and professor (1.50; 1.20-1.91,P= 0.008). Men associate professors had more LA publications (1.74; 1.34-2.37,P< 0.001). No differences found in FA publications at any rank, nor LA publications at assistant professor and professor ranks. At subspecialty level, men in surgical oncology (1.95; 1.55-2.45,P< 0.001) and transplant surgery (1.70; 1.09-2.66,P= 0.02) had more MA publications.ConclusionsWhile FA and LA publications did not differ significantly across genders, the largest difference lies in MA publications, beginning at junior ranks and persisting with seniority. Discrepancies in MA publications may reflect gender discrepancies in collaborative opportunities, hence total publications should be used cautiously when determining academic productivity.
