The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects of aging (career age) and research performance for full-time clinical dental faculty. The 489 respondents represented a response rate of 71.3% from a 40% stratified random sample of faculty. Respondents reported a mean number of years in full-time dental education of 10.7 (range = 1 to 45, SD = 7.7) and mean number of career publications of 11.1 (range = 0 to 110, SD = 15.2). A significant positive association of career age and life-time research productivity was observed. A significant positive association of career age and mean two-year research productivity was also noted. Implications of the findings were discussed with respect to similar studies reported for other academic disciplines.
本调查的目的是评估年龄（职业年龄）和全职临床牙科教员研究表现之间的关系。489名受访者是从40%的教员分层随机样本中抽取的，回复率为71.3%。受访者报告称，他们全职从事牙科教育的平均年限为10.7年（范围为1至45年，标准差为7.7），职业发表成果的平均数量为11.1篇（范围为0至110篇，标准差为15.2）。研究发现，职业年龄与终身研究产出之间存在显著的正相关关系。职业年龄与平均两年研究产出之间也存在显著的正相关关系。研究结果的含义与其他学术学科报告的类似研究进行了讨论。
