摘要

职业成功会受到很多因素的影响。这些可以包括名称特征吗？方法在本研究中，使用在线资源收集在英国工作的所有儿科外科顾问医生的传记信息和文献计量学（N = 192）。使用Excel公式和在线姓名分析工具收集了许多姓名和姓氏特征。结果较短的名字与毕业于顶尖大学的医学学位、较高的学龄和h指数以及更多的引用有关。那些毕业于非顶尖大学的医学学位的人，他们的姓氏中有更多的尾音。在那些目前隶属于一流大学的学生中，名字中辅音序列的数量更多。A)目前隶属于非顶尖大学（仅在姓氏中发现），b)从顶尖大学获得医学学位或在医学院毕业后早期开始发表文章（仅在姓氏中发现）的儿科外科医生的辅音-元音比例较高。名字中以爆破音开头的人发表的第一作者论文更多，而姓氏中以爆破音开头的人更有可能从非一流大学获得博士学位。名字更受欢迎的儿科外科医生更有可能在英国获得医学学位。结论本研究揭示了英国儿科会诊外科医生的某些名字特征与他们的职业成功之间存在关联。

Do name characteristics influence the career success of UK paediatric surgeons?

Background

Career success can be influenced by many factors. Could these include name characteristics?

Methods

In this study, online sources were used to collect biographical information and bibliometrics of all consultant paediatric surgeons working in the United Kingdom (N = 192). Excel formulas and online name analysis tools were used to collect many forename and surname characteristics.

Results

Shorter forenames were associated with having graduated from a top university for their medical degree, having a higher academic age and h-index, and more citations. Those who graduated from a non-top university for their medical degree had a longer number of consequent consonants in their surname. The number of consonant sequences in the first name was higher in those currently affiliated with a top university. A higher consonant-to-vowel ratio was found in paediatric surgeons who a) are currently affiliated with a non-top university (this was found only for the forename), b) had graduated from a top university for their medical degree or started publishing early following medical school graduation (these were found only for the surname). Those with an initial plosive in the forename had more first author publications, whereas those with an initial plosive in the surname were more likely to have graduated from a non-top university for their PhD. Paediatric surgeons with more popular names were more likely to have obtained their medical degree from the United Kingdom.

Conclusion

This study revealed that associations exist between certain name characteristics of consultant paediatric surgeons in the United Kingdom and their career success.

期刊介绍： Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
