Abstract

AIM

To evaluate publishing activity of medical doctors after they have obtained Master's or Ph.D. degree at the Rijeka and Zagreb University Schools of Medicine in Croatia, and establish the number of journal articles based on these theses.

METHODS

Data on Master's and Ph.D. theses defended at the Rijeka and Zagreb University Schools of Medicine in the 1990-1999 period were collected by hand-search of the archive. MEDLINE and Current Contents databases were searched for journal articles resulting from the theses.

RESULTS

During the 10-year period, 1,535 Master's and 634 Ph.D. theses were defended at the Rijeka and Zagreb University Schools of Medicine (253 Master's and 138 Ph.D. theses from Rijeka and 1,282 Master's and 496 Ph.D. theses from Zagreb). There were 201 (14%) Master's and 218 (34%) Ph.D. theses that resulted in articles published in journals indexed in MEDLINE (13% of Master's and 11% of Ph.D. theses from Rijeka, and 14% of Master's and 41% of Ph.D. theses from Zagreb). Also, 97 (6%) Master's and 129 (20%) Ph.D. theses that resulted in articles published in Current Contents journals (8% of Master's and 6% of Ph.D. theses from Rijeka, and 6% of Master's and 24% of Ph.D. theses from Zagreb). There was no significant difference between the two Universities with respect to published articles based on Master's theses, but there were significantly more articles from Ph.D. theses in Zagreb (p<0.001). Most of the theses resulted in a single publication (95%), 19 (5%) in 2, and 2 in 3 publications. Out of all 453 journal articles, 31% were published in Croatian and 69% in international journals.

CONCLUSION

Most Croatian Master's and Ph.D. theses are not made available to the scientific community. There should be more institutional effort directed at the stimulation of postgraduate students to publish their scientific work.

摘要

目的

评估克罗地亚里耶卡和萨格勒布大学医学院的医生获得硕士或博士学位后的发表活动，并根据这些论文确定期刊文章的数量。

方法

通过手工检索档案收集1990 - 1999年期间在里耶卡和萨格勒布大学医学院答辩的硕士和博士论文数据。在MEDLINE和《现刊目次》数据库中搜索由这些论文产生的期刊文章。

结果

在这10年期间，里耶卡和萨格勒布大学医学院共答辩了1535篇硕士论文和634篇博士论文（其中里耶卡有253篇硕士论文和138篇博士论文，萨格勒布有1282篇硕士论文和496篇博士论文）。有201篇（14%）硕士论文和218篇（34%）博士论文产生了在MEDLINE索引期刊上发表的文章（里耶卡的硕士论文中有13%、博士论文中有11%，萨格勒布的硕士论文中有14%、博士论文中有41%）。此外，有97篇（6%）硕士论文和129篇（20%）博士论文产生了在《现刊目次》期刊上发表的文章（里耶卡的硕士论文中有8%、博士论文中有6%，萨格勒布的硕士论文中有6%、博士论文中有24%）。基于硕士论文发表的文章在两所大学之间没有显著差异，但萨格勒布的博士论文产生的文章明显更多（p<0.001）。大多数论文只产生了一篇发表文章（95%），19篇（5%）产生了2篇，2篇产生了3篇。在所有453篇期刊文章中，31%发表在克罗地亚语期刊，69%发表在国际期刊。
