To determine yearly (phase 1) and cumulative (phase 2) publication records of pharmaceutical science faculty members at research-intensive colleges and schools of pharmacy.
The publication records of pharmaceutical science faculty members at research-intensive colleges and schools of pharmacy were searched on Web of Science. Fifty colleges and schools of pharmacy were randomly chosen for a search of 1,042 individual faculty members' publications per year from 2005 to 2009. A stratified random sample of 120 faculty members also was chosen, and cumulative publication counts were recorded and bibliometric indices calculated.
The median number of publications per year was 2 (range, 0-34). Overall, 22% of faculty members had no publications in any given year, but the number was highly variable depending on the faculty members' colleges or schools of pharmacy. Bibliometric indices were higher for medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutics, with pharmacology ranking third and social and administrative sciences fourth. Higher bibliometric indices were also observed for institution status (ie, public vs private) and academic rank (discipline chairperson vs non-chairperson and professor vs junior faculty member) (p<0.01 for each). The median number of cumulative publications per faculty member was 34 (range, 0-370).
Significant differences exist in yearly and cumulative publication rates for faculty members and bibliometric indices among pharmaceutical science disciplines and academic ranks within research-intensive colleges and schools of pharmacy. These data may be important for benchmarking purposes.
确定研究型药学院系药学专业教师的年度(第 1 阶段)和累计(第 2 阶段)出版记录。
在 Web of Science 上搜索研究型药学院系药学专业教师的出版记录。从 2005 年至 2009 年,每年随机选择 50 所药学院系,搜索 1,042 名药学教师的个人出版物,每人每年搜索 1 次。还随机选择了 120 名教师作为分层随机样本,记录累积出版数量并计算文献计量学指标。
每年发表论文的中位数为 2 篇(范围,0-34 篇)。总体而言,22%的教师在任何一年都没有发表过论文,但这一数字因教师所在学院或系而有很大差异。药物化学和药剂学的文献计量学指标较高,药理学排名第三,社会和管理科学排名第四。机构地位(即公立与私立)和学术职称(学科主席与非主席、教授与初级教员)也观察到更高的文献计量学指标(每项指标的 p 值均<0.01)。每位教师的累积出版物中位数为 34 篇(范围,0-370 篇)。
研究型药学院系药学专业教师的年度和累计出版率以及文献计量学指标在学科和学术职称之间存在显著差异。这些数据对于基准测试可能很重要。
