A medical dissertation is mandatory during medical studies in France. Often these dissertations are only considered an old-fashioned tradition but nonetheless require scientific research. According to recent publications, only 10% are secondarily published; however, there are no specific studies on pediatric medical dissertations.
For all medical dissertations from students assigned to pediatrics in 2003, a subsequent publication was searched for on Pubmed and Google Scholar. When such a publication was found, data on the student's rank, the impact factor (IF), the language of publication, and the number of citations were retrieved.
For students assigned to pediatrics in 2003, 27.9% of the 172 medical theses were published, with a mean delay of 2.21 years. French was the language in 29%, and the mean IF was 2.3. There was no statistical association between student sex, age, university, size of the medical dissertation and publication.
More than 25% of the pediatric medical dissertations are published. According to available data, this is a good rate but nonetheless still low. We found no clear factor associated with publication.
Only a small fraction of pediatric medical dissertations are published.
在法国，医学学习期间撰写医学论文是强制性要求。这些论文通常仅被视为一种过时的传统，但仍需要进行科学研究。根据最近的出版物，只有10%的论文会二次发表；然而，尚无关于儿科医学论文的具体研究。
对于2003年分配到儿科的学生所撰写的所有医学论文，在PubMed和谷歌学术上搜索其后续发表情况。当找到这样的发表文章时，检索有关学生排名、影响因子（IF）、发表语言和被引用次数的数据。
对于2003年分配到儿科的学生，172篇医学论文中有27.9%发表了，平均延迟时间为2.21年。29%的论文发表语言为法语，平均影响因子为2.3。学生性别、年龄、大学、医学论文篇幅与发表之间无统计学关联。
超过25%的儿科医学论文发表了。根据现有数据，这是一个不错的比例，但仍然较低。我们未发现与发表相关的明确因素。
只有一小部分儿科医学论文会发表。
