Our objectives were to evaluate collaboration with medical students and other nondoctoral authors, and assess whether mentoring such students influences the academic productivity of senior authors.
Six issues of the Laryngoscope and International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology (IFAR) were examined for the corresponding author of each manuscript, and whether any students were involved in authorship. The h-index of all corresponding authors was calculated using the Scopus database to compare the scholarly impact of authors collaborating with students and those collaborating exclusively with other physicians or doctoral-level researchers.
Of 261 Laryngoscope manuscripts, 71.6% had exclusively physician or doctoral-level authors, 9.2% had "students" (nondoctoral-level authors) as first authors, and another 19.2% involved "student" authors. Corresponding values for IFAR manuscripts were 57.1%, 6.3%, and 36.5%. Corresponding authors who collaborated with students had higher scholarly impact, as measured by the h-index, than those collaborating exclusively with physicians and doctoral-level scientists in both journals.
Collaboration with individuals who do not have doctoral-level degrees, presumably medical students, has a strong association with scholarly impact among researchers publishing in the Laryngoscope and IFAR. Research mentorship of medical students interested in otolaryngology may allow a physician-scientist to evaluate the students' effectiveness and functioning in a team setting, a critical component of success in residency training, and may have beneficial effects on research productivity for the senior author.
我们的目标是评估与医学生和其他非医生作者的合作，并评估指导这些学生是否会影响资深作者的学术产出。
检查了《喉镜》和国际过敏与鼻科学论坛（IFAR）的六期杂志，以了解每篇手稿的通讯作者，以及是否有学生参与作者身份。使用 Scopus 数据库计算所有通讯作者的 h 指数，以比较与学生合作的作者和仅与其他医生或博士级研究人员合作的作者的学术影响力。
在 261 篇《喉镜》手稿中，71.6%的作者仅为医生或博士级作者，9.2%的第一作者为“学生”（非博士级作者），另有 19.2%的作者涉及“学生”。IFAR 手稿的相应值分别为 57.1%、6.3%和 36.5%。在两个期刊中，与学生合作的通讯作者的学术影响力（以 h 指数衡量）高于仅与医生和博士级科学家合作的通讯作者。
与没有博士学位的个人（推测为医学生）合作与在《喉镜》和 IFAR 发表论文的研究人员的学术影响力有很强的关联。对有志于从事耳鼻喉科研究的医学生进行研究指导，可以让医生科学家评估学生在团队环境中的工作效率和能力，这是住院医师培训成功的关键组成部分，并且可能对资深作者的研究生产力产生有益影响。
