This study was designed to assess the ultimate publication rate of unpublished manuscripts listed on radiology residency applications.
A retrospective review was performed on all 628 Electronic Residency Application Service applications submitted to a single-institution radiology residency program in 2010. Publication status of unpublished manuscripts listed as "accepted," "in press," "provisional accepted," or "submitted" was assessed two years later by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and journal- or conference-specific Web sites. Manuscripts were considered "published" if they appeared in a peer-reviewed journal with the applicant as an author. Impact factors of proposed and publishing journals were compared.
Five hundred fourteen (81.8%) of the 628 applicants listed a total of 1,431 manuscripts: 952 (66.5%) "published," 64 (4.5%) "in press," 95 (6.6%) "accepted," 27 (1.9%) "provisional accepted," and 293 (20.5%) "submitted." After two years, 81.3% (52/64) of "in press," 58.9% (56/95) of "accepted," 70.4% (19/27) of "provisional accepted," and 43.7% (128/293) of "submitted" manuscripts were published (P < .01). The proposed and publishing journal matched in 50.8% (65/128) of "submitted" manuscripts (P < .01). The impact factor of the proposed versus publishing journal was 4.189 versus 2.898 (P < .01) for "submitted" manuscripts.
One-third of manuscripts listed on radiology residency applications were unpublished at the time of application. More than half of those listed as "submitted," and approximately one-third of those listed as "accepted," "in press," or "provisional accepted," remained unpublished after two years. Residency selection committees should consider these publication rates when assessing applicants.
本研究旨在评估放射科住院医师申请中列出的未发表手稿的最终发表率。
对 2010 年向一家机构放射科住院医师计划提交的所有 628 份电子住院医师申请服务申请进行了回顾性审查。两年后，通过搜索 PubMed、Google Scholar 和期刊或会议特定网站，评估了列为“已接受”、“在印刷中”、“临时接受”或“已提交”的未发表手稿的出版状况。如果申请人是作者之一且发表在同行评审期刊上，则认为手稿已“发表”。比较了提议和出版期刊的影响因素。
628 名申请人中的 514 名（81.8%）共列出了 1431 份手稿：952 份（66.5%）“已发表”，64 份（4.5%）“在印刷中”，95 份（6.6%）“已接受”，27 份（1.9%）“临时接受”，293 份（20.5%）“已提交”。两年后，81.3%（52/64）的“在印刷中”，58.9%（56/95）的“已接受”，70.4%（19/27）的“临时接受”，43.7%（128/293）的“已提交”手稿已发表（P <.01）。在 293 份“已提交”手稿中，有 50.8%（65/128）的提议和出版期刊匹配（P <.01）。对于“已提交”手稿，提议和出版期刊的影响因子分别为 4.189 和 2.898（P <.01）。
放射科住院医师申请中列出的手稿有三分之一在申请时未发表。其中列为“已提交”的手稿中，有一半以上在两年后仍未发表，列为“已接受”、“在印刷中”或“临时接受”的手稿中，约有三分之一仍未发表。住院医师选拔委员会在评估申请人时应考虑这些发表率。
