Abstract

Purpose

The diversity of authors in orthopaedic literature is fundamental to the distribution of unique discoveries, innovations, and advancements. The purpose of the current study was to create and validate a comprehensive Author Diversity Scoring System (ADSS) to quantify authorship diversity in orthopaedic manuscripts.

Methods

Six items were included in the initial ADSS. The ADSS and associated survey were sent to 120 experts to evaluate the clarity, simplicity, and relevancy its components. Responses were used to validate the ADSS using Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI).

Results

The initial ADSS contained author gender, ethnicity, academic rank/title, country of origin of the article, affiliated institution, and the publication history of the senior/corresponding author as representative items. Subsequently, 21 experts completed the survey (response rate 17.5%). Following validation, the final ADSS included author gender, ethnicity, and region of article origin, scored cumulatively on a 0–30 point scale with increasing scores indicating greater author diversity.

Conclusion

The validated ADSS scoring system quantitatively assesses manuscript author diversity.

验证量化矫形外科文献作者多样性的新系统

目的骨科文献中作者的多样性对于独特发现、创新和进步的传播至关重要。本研究旨在创建并验证一个全面的作者多样性评分系统（ADSS），以量化骨科手稿中的作者多样性。ADSS 和相关调查被发送给 120 位专家，以评估其清晰度、简洁性和相关性。结果最初的 ADSS 包含的代表性项目有作者性别、种族、学术级别/职称、文章来源国、所属机构以及资深作者/通讯作者的发表历史。随后，21 位专家完成了调查（回复率为 17.5%）。经过验证后，最终的 ADSS 包括作者性别、种族和文章来源地区，按 0-30 分制累计计分，分数越高表示作者多样性越强。

期刊介绍： International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters. Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted. Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable. The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
