This study examines predictors of publication number in career development awardees. We examined whether daily writing predicted publication number among junior faculty.
We surveyed 94 career development awardees; the survey consisted of 28 questions in four domains: characteristics, environment, writing practices, and attitudes about writing.
Variables that contributed positively to publication number included male gender and those with a negative effect were clinical research and perceiving the need to write as a requirement for advancement. In subgroup analysis of junior faculty, a habit of writing daily was predictive of greater publication numbers.
Career development awardees published more first-authored manuscripts if they were male, were involved in nonclinical research, and did not perceive writing as a requirement for advancement. These factors highlight the need to explore the lower overall publication productivity in women and in clinical investigators. Junior faculty members that write daily publish more manuscripts, regardless of gender, research type, or motivators. The benefits of daily writing warrant direct study if not empiric implementation.
本研究探讨职业发展奖获得者发表论文数量的预测因素。我们研究了初级教员的日常写作是否能预测发表论文数量。
我们对94名职业发展奖获得者进行了调查；该调查由四个领域的28个问题组成：特征、环境、写作习惯以及对写作的态度。
对发表论文数量有积极贡献的变量包括男性，而有负面影响的变量是临床研究以及将写作视为晋升要求。在初级教员的亚组分析中，日常写作习惯可预测更多的发表论文数量。
职业发展奖获得者如果是男性、从事非临床研究且不将写作视为晋升要求，那么他们发表的第一作者手稿会更多。这些因素凸显了探索女性和临床研究人员总体发表论文生产力较低的必要性。无论性别、研究类型或动机如何，每天写作的初级教员发表的手稿更多。如果不进行实证实施，日常写作的益处值得直接研究。
