Research projects are a key component of pharmacy residents' education. Projects represent both a large investment of effort for each resident (up to 10 weeks over the residency year) and a large body of research (given that there are currently over 150 residency positions in Canada annually). Publication of results is a vital part of the dissemination of information gleaned from these projects.
To determine the publication rate for research projects performed under the auspices of accredited English-language hospital pharmacy residency programs in Canada and to describe the study characteristics of residency projects performed in Ontario from 1999/2000 to 2008/2009.
Lists of residents and project titles for the period of interest were obtained from residency coordinators. PubMed, CINAHL, the Canadian Journal of Hospital Pharmacy, and Google were searched for evidence of publication of each project identified, as an abstract or presentation at a meeting, a letter to the editor, or a full-text manuscript. The library holdings of the University of Toronto were reviewed to determine study characteristics of the Ontario residency projects.
For the objective of this study relating to publication rate, 518 projects were included. The overall publication rate was 32.2% (60 [35.9%] as abstracts and 107 [64.1%] as full-text manuscripts). Publication in pharmacy-specific journals (66 [61.7%] of 107 full-text manuscripts) was more frequent than publication in non-pharmacy-specific journals. The publication rate of projects as full-text manuscripts remained stable over time. Of the 202 Ontario residency projects archived in the University of Toronto's library, most were cohort studies (83 [41.1%]), and the most common topic was efficacy and/or safety of a medication (46 [22.8%]).
Most hospital pharmacy residents' projects were unpublished, and the publication rate of projects as full-text manuscripts has not increased over time. Most projects were observational studies. Increasing publication rates and creating a central database or repository of residency projects would increase the dissemination and accessibility of residents' research.
研究项目是药学住院医师教育的关键组成部分。项目对每位住院医师来说都意味着巨大的精力投入（在住院医师培训年度内长达10周），并且构成了大量的研究内容（鉴于加拿大目前每年有超过150个住院医师职位）。研究结果的发表是传播从这些项目中获取的信息的重要环节。
确定在加拿大认可的英语医院药学住院医师培训项目主持下开展的研究项目的发表率，并描述1999/2000年至2008/2009年在安大略省开展的住院医师培训项目的研究特征。
从住院医师培训协调员处获取感兴趣时间段内的住院医师名单和项目标题。检索了PubMed、CINAHL、《加拿大医院药学杂志》以及谷歌，以查找每个已识别项目的发表证据，如作为摘要或在会议上的报告、给编辑的信或全文手稿。查阅了多伦多大学图书馆馆藏，以确定安大略省住院医师培训项目的研究特征。
对于本研究中与发表率相关的目标，纳入了518个项目。总体发表率为32.2%（60篇[35.9%]为摘要，107篇[64.1%]为全文手稿）。在特定药学杂志上发表（107篇全文手稿中的66篇[61.7%]）比在非特定药学杂志上发表更为常见。项目作为全文手稿的发表率随时间保持稳定。在多伦多大学图书馆存档的202个安大略省住院医师培训项目中，大多数是队列研究（83个[41.1%]），最常见的主题是药物的疗效和/或安全性（46个[22.8%]）。
大多数医院药学住院医师的项目未发表，项目作为全文手稿的发表率并未随时间增加。大多数项目是观察性研究。提高发表率并创建住院医师培训项目的中央数据库或储存库将增加住院医师研究成果的传播和可获取性。
