Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate research productivity among oculoplastic surgeons and provide relative citation ratio (RCR) benchmark data for the field.

Methods: In this cross-sectional bibliometric analysis, fellowship-trained academic oculoplastic surgeons at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited institutions were individually indexed using the National Institutes of Health iCite database. Publication count, mean RCR (mRCR) score, and weighted RCR score were collected for each author between February and May 2023 and included PubMed-listed articles from 1980 to 2022. Data were compared by gender, career duration, academic rank, and acquisition of a doctor of philosophy.

Results: Two hundred ninety-nine academic oculoplastic surgeons from 113 institutions were indexed. These physicians produced highly impactful research with a median publication count of 20 (interquartile range, 8-45), median mRCR of 0.91 (interquartile range, 0.65-1.24), and median weighted RCR of 16.27 (interquartile range, 5.61-41.10). Academic rank and career duration were associated with increased publication count, mRCR, and weighted RCR. Weighted RCR scores were greater among male faculty, but no differences were observed between genders for publication count or mRCR score. Female faculties were underrepresented in more senior academic ranks and earlier career start years.

Conclusions: Current academic oculoplastic surgeons have comparable mRCR values relative to the National Institutes of Health-standard RCR value of 1. These benchmark data serve as a more accurate gauge of research impact within the oculoplastic surgery community and can be used to inform self, institutional, and departmental evaluations. In addition, the mRCR may provide an accurate metric for quantifying research productivity among historically underrepresented groups that are disadvantaged by time-dependent factors such as the number of publications.

用相对引用率评价学术眼科医生的研究效率。
目的:评估眼科整形外科医生的研究效率,为该领域提供相对引用率(RCR)基准数据。方法:在横断面文献计量分析中,研究生医学教育认证委员会认可的机构中接受过奖学金培训的学术眼科整形外科医生使用美国国立卫生研究院iCite数据库进行了单独索引。收集每位作者在2023年2月至5月期间的发表数、平均RCR (mRCR)评分和加权RCR评分,并纳入1980年至2022年在pubmed上市的文章。数据按性别、职业持续时间、学术等级和获得哲学博士学位进行比较。结果:来自113家机构的299名眼科整形医师被检索。这些医生发表了极具影响力的研究,发表数中位数为20(四分位数范围为8-45),mRCR中位数为0.91(四分位数范围为0.65-1.24),加权RCR中位数为16.27(四分位数范围为5.61-41.10)。学术排名和职业持续时间与增加的发表数、mRCR和加权RCR相关。男性教师的加权RCR得分更高,但在发表数量或mRCR得分方面没有观察到性别之间的差异。在较高级的学术职位和较早的职业生涯开始年份中,女性教员的代表性不足。结论:目前学术眼科整形医生的mRCR值与美国国立卫生研究院标准的RCR值1相当。这些基准数据可以更准确地衡量眼部整形外科社区的研究影响,并可用于通知自我,机构和部门评估。此外,mRCR可以为量化历史上代表性不足的群体的研究生产力提供准确的度量标准,这些群体由于时间相关因素(如出版物数量)而处于不利地位。
