Yyyyy重要性根据国家居住权匹配计划的两年一度的匹配图表结果(NRMP Chom)报告，自2007年以来，匹配的对应性皮肤病申请者的平均研究项目数量几乎增加了两倍，从5.7项增加到14.7项。研究项目由申请者自行报告，并作为研究成果的近似值。由于NRMP研究项目字段未经验证并作为几个不同研究目标的集合进行报告，因此它可能不能准确表示申请者的研究成果。目的确定NRMP报告的数据的增加是否与2007至2018年匹配的对症皮肤病申请者中可验证的、有索引的出版物的增加有关。设计、设置和参与者横断面研究，包括对2007年、2009年、2011年、2014年、2016年的2234名匹配的对症皮肤病申请者的接受申请者研究输出的文献计量分析，总共6229篇出版物，和2018.主要结果和衡量主要结果是同行评议的索引出版物的平均数量和NRMP CHOM研究项目的平均数量。二次结果通过分析文章类型和期刊来评估索引出版物的质量。结果从2007年到2018年，每个匹配的皮肤病申请者的索引出版物的平均数量从1.6篇增加到4.7篇(增加203%)。编入索引的出版物始终占NRMP Chom研究项目的少数(在研究的6年中占28.8%)。未编入索引的研究项目的增长速度是编入索引的出版物的两倍以上。文献计量学分析表明，所有其他类型的出版物的增长速度都是基础科学出版物的6到9倍，皮肤病相关出版物的增长速度是非皮肤病出版物的5倍，影响系数较低的皮肤病期刊的出版物增长速度是影响系数较高的皮肤病期刊出版物的4倍。结论和相关性这项横断面研究提供了匹配的皮肤病申请者的研究成果数据。编入索引的出版物构成了NRMP研究项目的一小部分。医学生对研究成果的自我报告可能会强调研究数量而不是质量。
YYYY IMPORTANCE According to the National Residency Matching Program's biennial Charting Outcomes in the Match (NRMP ChOM) reports, the mean number of research items of matched allopathic dermatology applicants has nearly tripled since 2007, rising from 5.7 to 14.7. Research items are self-reported by applicants and serve as an approximation of research output. Because the NRMP research items field is unverified and reported as an aggregate of several different research pursuits, it may not be an accurate representation of applicant research output.OBJECTIVE To determine if the rise in NRMP-reported data is associated with a rise in verifiable, indexed publications from matched allopathic dermatology applicants from 2007 to 2018.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional study including a bibliometric analysis on accepted applicant research output among 2234 matched allopathic dermatology applicants, with a total of 6229 publications, in dermatology residency programs for the years 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016, and 2018.MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES The primary outcomes were the mean number of peer-reviewed indexed publications and mean number of NRMP ChOM research items. Secondary outcomes assessed the quality of indexed publications by analyzing article type and journal of publication.RESULTS From 2007 to 2018, the mean number of indexed publications per matched dermatology applicant increased from 1.6 to 4.7 (203% increase). Indexed publications consistently compose a minority of NRMP ChOM research items (28.8% across the 6 years of the study). Nonindexed research items increased at more than double the rate of indexed publications. Bibliometric analysis showed that all other types of publications are increasing at a rate of 6 to 9 times that of basic science publications, dermatology-related publications increased at 5 times the rate of non-dermatology publications, and publications in lower-impact factor dermatology journals increased at 4 times the rate of publications in higher-impact factor dermatology journals.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This cross-sectional study provides data on the research output of matched dermatology applicants. Indexed publications compose a minority of NRMP research items. Medical student self-reports of research output may emphasize research quantity over quality.
