{"title":"Bibliometric Analysis of Research Areas, Publication Hierarchy and Gender Authorship in German University Orthopaedic Surgery.","authors":"Jennifer Preut, Karl-Heinz Frosch, Eike Sebastian Debus, Reinhart T Grundmann","doi":"10.1055/a-1735-4110","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-1735-4110","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>The aim of the present bibliometric study was to record the focus of publications, type of study and publication activities depending on the hierarchy level and gender of the authors of German university departments for orthopaedic surgery.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>The publication performance of the staff surgeons, consisting of chief and senior physicians, section and division heads of 39 German university departments of orthopaedic surgery university hospitals, was recorded over a period of 10 years (January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019). All publications were considered that were listed in PubMed and for which the staff surgeons were first or last authors. In addition, the impact factor (IF) and the h-index were determined.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>1739 (39.2%) publications were compiled by 180 staff surgeons of university departments for trauma surgery and 2699 (60.8%) publications by 343 surgeons in departments of orthopaedics and trauma surgery. Most publications were related to injuries or impairments of the lower extremity including the hip (n = 1626; 38.1%), followed by the upper extremity (n = 737; 17.3%). These publications focussed on diagnostic testing (25.5%), surgical techniques (19.1%) or special osteosyntheses (16.9%). The highest average IF per publication was achieved by publications on plastics (IF 2.02), on outcome (IF 1.96) and on diagnostic testing (IF 1.93). Heads of departments were first authors in 18.8%, senior physicians with management functions in 40.7% and senior physicians without management functions in 69% of papers and last authors in 81.2%, 49.3% and 31.0% of articles, respectively. 64 of 523 staff surgeons (12.2%) were women. 306 authors (6.1%) were women, corresponding to 4.8 authorships per female surgeon - significantly for male surgeons (10.3 authorships per male surgeon).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In the present study, among senior physicians with a management function, the share of publishing surgeons was 59.1% for women, but 85.5% for men. In contrast, in the group of senior physicians without management function female and male surgeons were almost equally represented (57.5% vs. 60.5%). It must therefore be asked whether the work life balance is more difficult to meet for women than for men with longer careers. Mentoring programs are required to support the publication activities of the increasing number of female applicants in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":"161 5","pages":"516-525"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41172751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
