Abstract

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The Triological Society requires thesis submission for full membership. Accepted theses (AT) may be recognized with designations of: Mosher Awards (MA), Fowler Awards (FA), Honorable Mention for Basic Science (HMBS), and Honorable Mention for Clinical Science (HMCS). We sought to determine and compare the scholarly impact of Triological Society theses, their authors, and whether differences exist between AT and those that receive special recognition.

STUDY DESIGN

Retrospective analysis of awards and theses compiled by The Triological Society home office from 1998 to 2011.

METHODS

Thomson Reuters' Integrated Search Interface (ISI) Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar and were used to determine citations and the author's h-index. Trend and statistical analysis was performed.

RESULTS

Of the 307 Triological Society theses examined, 275 were published and had record of citation. H-indices and number of citations were found to be nonparametric; thus, median and quartile (1(st) -3(rd) quartiles) values were found to be the following: AT 11 (4-26), MA 18 (9-25), FA 6 (1-28), HMBS 11 (4-26), and HMCS 16 (1-28) for number of citations per published thesis. H-indices of authors with accepted theses were AT 15 (10-19), MA 16 (15-23), FA 18 (10-23), HMBS 16 (11-19), and HMCS 15 (11-21). When comparing all groupings of theses and award winners with bibliometric indices, no statistical significance was found (P >0.5).

CONCLUSIONS

The Triological Society cultivates a competitive pool of applicants as membership is highly regarded. Negligible difference in citations and author h-index were observed between AT, MA, and FA theses indicated that the level of excellence is uniform, and thesis submission remains influential and prestigious.

摘要

目的/假设：三大学会要求提交论文才能成为正式会员。被接受的论文（AT）可被授予以下奖项：Mosher 奖（MA）、Fowler 奖（FA）、基础科学荣誉提名（HMBS）和临床科学荣誉提名（HMCS）。我们旨在确定和比较三大学会论文、作者的学术影响力，以及 AT 与获得特殊认可的论文之间是否存在差异。

研究设计

对三大学会总部 1998 年至 2011 年汇编的奖项和论文进行回顾性分析。

方法

使用 Thomson Reuters 的综合搜索界面（ISI）Web of Knowledge 和 Google Scholar 来确定引文和作者的 h 指数。进行了趋势和统计分析。

结果

在所检查的 307 篇三大学会论文中，有 275 篇已发表并记录了引文。h 指数和引文数量是非参数的；因此，中位数和四分位数（第 1 四分位数-第 3 四分位数）值如下：每篇已发表论文的 AT 为 11（4-26），MA 为 18（9-25），FA 为 6（1-28），HMBS 为 11（4-26），HMCS 为 16（1-28）。接受论文的作者的 h 指数为 AT 为 15（10-19），MA 为 16（15-23），FA 为 18（10-23），HMBS 为 16（11-19），HMCS 为 15（11-21）。当将所有论文和奖项获得者的分组与文献计量指标进行比较时，没有发现统计学意义（P>0.5）。
