Abstract

Introduction: While bibliometric ranking systems have been designed to use citations, funding, and alumni productivity, there is a need for a simple metric that objectively evaluates the work of a group or organization. The present study describes a bibliometric tool, the Departmental Scholarly Index (DSI), for this purpose.

Methods: Publications from academic plastic surgery programs in qualifying states of the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons released in 2022 were collected via PubMed affiliation search. Publications were recorded in a running list alongside the title and 2022 impact factor of their respective journals. The impact factors were averaged by summing the impact factors and dividing by the number of articles to obtain a raw average. Any publication in a journal with an impact factor greater than five multiples of the raw average was removed as an outlier. The remaining impact factors were then summed and give the final numerical value representing the DSI.

Results: A total of 464 articles published in 139 individual journals were returned from PubMed between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, for the 22 constituent departments. Calculated Spearman's rank coefficients comparing the DSI ranking with both the Doximity and Persad-Paisley rankings yielded values of 0.66 (P < 0.01) and 0.62 (P < 0.01), respectively. Overall, the DSI rankings largely agree with either the Persad-Paisley or Doximity rankings with notable differences seen in the rankings of Mayo Florida and the University of Alabama. A clear academic ranking of Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons programs was generated from these data.

Conclusions: The DSI represents a novel and simple approach to applying objective value to research with the advantage of using data bound to the most recent publication productivity.

部门学术指数:研究生产力的衡量标准。
介绍:尽管文献计量排名系统的设计使用了引文、资金和校友生产力,但仍需要一种简单的衡量标准来客观评价一个团体或组织的工作。本研究为此介绍了一种文献计量工具--系学术指数(DSI):方法:通过PubMed归属地搜索,收集东南整形外科医师学会(Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons)下属各州整形外科学术项目在2022年发表的论文。这些论文被记录在一份流水清单中,并注明了标题和各自期刊的 2022 年影响因子。影响因子的平均值是将影响因子相加后除以文章数量得出的原始平均值。影响因子大于原始平均值五倍的期刊上的任何出版物都会被视为离群值而被剔除。然后将剩余的影响因子相加,得出代表 DSI 的最终数值:在 2022 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 12 月 31 日期间,PubMed 共检索到 22 个组成部门在 139 种期刊上发表的 464 篇文章。将 DSI 排名与 Doximity 和 Persad-Paisley 排名进行比较,计算出的斯皮尔曼等级系数分别为 0.66 (P < 0.01) 和 0.62 (P < 0.01)。总体而言,DSI 排名与 Persad-Paisley 或 Doximity 排名基本一致,但佛罗里达梅奥大学和阿拉巴马大学的排名存在明显差异。从这些数据中可以看出,东南整形外科医师协会的项目学术排名非常清晰:DSI 是一种新颖而简单的方法,可将客观价值应用到研究中,其优势在于使用的数据与最新的出版生产力息息相关。

期刊介绍: The only independent journal devoted to general plastic and reconstructive surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery serves as a forum for current scientific and clinical advances in the field and a sounding board for ideas and perspectives on its future. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, brief communications, case reports, and notes in all areas of interest to the practicing plastic surgeon. There are also historical and current reviews, descriptions of surgical technique, and lively editorials and letters to the editor.
