The academic productivity of trainees, consultants and institutions is frequently judged by the quantity of articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
To assess the publication history of Irish orthopaedic units over a 5-year period, and to identify patterns of publication.
A PubMed search was performed of each consultant affiliated with each orthopaedic unit in the country for between 2004 and 2008. Publications were classified by individual, institution, publication type and impact factor.
Over the 5 years of the study, 239 papers were published from 19 orthopaedic units, in 69 different journals. Fifty-six consultants had at least one senior author publication, with seven consultants having more than ten. Impact factors of the journals targeted varied considerably and reveals an interesting duality among authors when opting for profile or prestige.
We feel this study represents a comprehensive and novel review of the state of publishing in a surgical specialty.
学员、顾问和机构的学术成果经常通过在同行评审的医学期刊上发表的文章数量来判断。
评估爱尔兰骨科单位在 5 年内的发表历史，并确定发表模式。
在 2004 年至 2008 年期间，对该国每个骨科单位的每位顾问进行了 PubMed 搜索。出版物按个人、机构、出版物类型和影响因素进行分类。
在研究的 5 年期间，19 个骨科单位在 69 种不同的期刊上发表了 239 篇论文。56 名顾问至少有一位资深作者的出版物，其中 7 名顾问的出版物超过 10 篇。目标期刊的影响因子差异很大，这反映了作者在选择知名度或声望时的有趣双重性。
我们认为这项研究代表了对外科专业出版状况的全面和新颖的回顾。
