A new Italian law aiming at improving and supporting research productivity establishes that evaluation of academic products is a requisite for accessing research funds,for acting as examiner for recruitments and for individual financial benefits.
To analyse the scientific products of full professors of Occupational Medicine in Italian Universities in order to provide a framework for discussing a standard of productivity with objective metric parameters.
Research products of the 40 full professors of Occupational Medicine indexed in the National Library of Medicine PubMed database were identified. By means of l0 different indicators, including the total number of papers, the papers published in journals included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), total Impact Factor (IF), the individual productivity of the last 5 years was measured.
In the last 5 years 503 scientific products were published, 231 of which in JCR-indexed journals, with a mean individual IF = 16.741. The total number of papers indexed in PubMed, the number of papers included in JCR-indexed journals and the number of papers included in JCR-indexed journal of Public, Environmental & Occupational Health were associated with the overall number of authors (p < 0.001). This observation accounts for the relevance of the research group as a resource predicting qualitative and quantitative outputs. The total number of papers is inversely associated with age (p < 0.03).
High productivity authors have an elevated number of products both in JCR-indexed journals (targeted to a small number of specialists in the field) and in PubMed-indexed journal (addressed to the broad audience of occupational health professionals). The productivity standard of academics of Occupational Medicine should take into account the overall research products within the Public Health field. In addition, the standard should be shared with that of academics of Hygiene and of Forensic medicine in order to address the recruitment policy in the Public Health field
一项旨在提高和支持研究生产力的意大利新法律规定，学术成果评估是获得研究资金、担任招聘考官以及获取个人经济利益的必要条件。
分析意大利大学职业医学正教授的科研成果，以便为用客观指标参数讨论生产力标准提供一个框架。
确定了美国国立医学图书馆PubMed数据库中收录的40位职业医学正教授的研究成果。通过10种不同指标，包括论文总数、发表在《期刊引证报告》（JCR）收录期刊上的论文、总影响因子（IF），来衡量过去5年的个人生产力。
在过去5年中发表了503项科研成果，其中231项发表在JCR收录期刊上，平均个人影响因子=16.741。PubMed收录的论文总数、JCR收录期刊上的论文数量以及《公共、环境与职业健康》JCR收录期刊上的论文数量与作者总数相关（p<0.001）。这一观察结果说明了研究团队作为预测定性和定量产出资源的相关性。论文总数与年龄呈负相关（p<0.03）。
高生产力作者在JCR收录期刊（面向该领域少数专家）和PubMed收录期刊（面向广大职业健康专业人员）上都有大量成果。职业医学学者的生产力标准应考虑公共卫生领域内的整体研究成果。此外，该标准应与卫生学和法医学学者的标准统一，以制定公共卫生领域的招聘政策。
