In medical curricula, considerable effort is put into scientific education and research training. The output of these efforts, however, is not known.
To assess the number of students who published at least one scientific paper during the course of their medical studies.
Names and initials of all students who received their medical degree in 2006 or 2007 in one of the six participating university medical centers in the Netherlands were searched in the Web of Science database using a well-validated algorithm.
Of the 2973 students, 14.5% had published at least one scientific paper during the last 3 years of their medical studies. These papers were of good quality, as the average number of citations per paper is above the average for papers published in their field.
Based on the results of our survey, we conclude that medical students in the Netherlands are productively involved in research during their studies. Due to publication delay, the true number of papers is likely to be higher than we counted, but the bibliometric index chosen gives a robust estimate of the effect on the output of the scientific climate of a medical school. Using such an index on a larger scale may stimulate medical faculties to recognize and cultivate academic talent among their students.
在医学课程中，投入了相当大的精力用于科学教育和研究培训。然而，这些努力的成果却不得而知。
评估在医学学习期间至少发表过一篇科学论文的学生人数。
使用经过充分验证的算法，在 Web of Science 数据库中搜索了 2006 年或 2007 年在荷兰六个参与大学医学中心之一获得医学学位的所有学生的姓名和首字母。
在 2973 名学生中，14.5%的学生在医学学习的最后 3 年至少发表了一篇科学论文。这些论文质量较高，因为每篇论文的平均引用次数高于其所在领域发表论文的平均引用次数。
根据我们的调查结果，我们得出结论，荷兰的医学生在学习期间积极参与研究。由于出版延迟，实际发表的论文数量可能高于我们的统计，但我们选择的文献计量指标可以很好地估计医学院科学氛围对产出的影响。在更大范围内使用这样的指标可能会激励医学院承认并培养学生中的学术人才。
