Abstract

Considering the fact that publications serve as an important criterion to evaluate the scientific accomplishments of an individual within respective fields in academia, there has been an increasing trend to publish scientific articles whereby multiple authors are defined as primary, co-, or corresponding authors according to the roles performed. This article analyzes the authorship pattern in 4,561 papers (including 60 single-authored papers) from 1990 till 2020 of 94 academics who hold a position as professors and are affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at three different research universities in Malaysia. Only 708 papers (15.5% of 4,561 papers) were authored by less than three authors. In 3,080 papers (67.5% of 4,561 papers), those academics appeared as coauthors. Using different years as cutoff periods, it was observed that the appearance as coauthor in the papers had steeply risen around the years: 2006, 2007, 2008 and onwards. The increased number of authors in the multi-author papers and the appearance of the selected academics as coauthors reflect the extent of boosting of collaborative research in that period which corresponds to the adoption of the "publish or perish policy" by the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia.

马来西亚研究密集型大学著作权趋势的时间变化。
在学术界,发表论文是评价一个人在各自领域内科学成就的重要标准,考虑到这一事实,发表科学论文的趋势越来越明显,根据所扮演的角色,多个作者被定义为主要作者、共同作者或通讯作者。本文分析了从 1990 年到 2020 年期间,马来西亚三所不同研究型大学医学院的 94 位教授所发表的 4561 篇论文(包括 60 篇单篇论文)的作者身份模式。只有 708 篇论文(占 4561 篇论文的 15.5%)的作者少于三人。在 3,080 篇论文(占 4,561 篇论文的 67.5%)中,这些学者是共同作者。以不同年份为分界点,我们发现在 2006 年、2007 年、2008 年及以后,以共同作者身份发表的论文数量急剧上升。多作者论文中作者人数的增加以及被选中的学者作为共同作者的出现,反映了这一时期合作研究的促进程度,这与马来西亚高等教育部采取的 "要么发表,要么毁灭 "政策相吻合。
