A Descriptive Bibliometric Study of CERA Publication Dissemination, Authorship, and Citation Rates.
Background and objectives: Barriers to performing family medicine research include funding, infrastructure, and mentorship shortages. The Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) was created in 2011 to address these issues. This study explores the scope and impact of CERA-related publications in family medicine.
Methods: We performed a descriptive bibliometric study of CERA-related publications from 2011 to 2023. Articles were sourced from Medline (PubMed), SCOPUS, and the CERA website. Data analysis focused on publication type, authors, CERA survey type, and citation rates.
Results: From a total of 231 articles retrieved via initial searches and 166 from the CERA website, 174 were included in the analysis. Most studies (95.4%) were original research, with the journal Family Medicine publishing the majority (69.4%). General membership surveys had the highest citations per publication (6.3), while publications prior to 2017 had more citations on average (6.3) compared to those after 2017 (2.4). CERA-related publications featured 515 unique authors across 153 affiliations, with top contributors being Kelly Everard and Arch Mainous III.
Conclusions: CERA provides essential infrastructure for family medicine research, fostering diversity in authorship and affiliations. While impactful in family medicine journals, opportunities exist to extend CERA's reach. Continued support and enhancements in data use are both needed.
期刊介绍:
Family Medicine, the official journal of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, publishes original research, systematic reviews, narrative essays, and policy analyses relevant to the discipline of family medicine, particularly focusing on primary care medical education, health workforce policy, and health services research. Journal content is not limited to educational research from family medicine educators; and we welcome innovative, high-quality contributions from authors in a variety of specialties and academic fields.
