To explore influences of co-investigators on the successful publication of a pharmacy residency project.
We analyzed published and non-published research presented at a regional pharmacy conference. Abstracts were matched 1:1 based on state and abstract year. We assessed university affiliation, number, degree, and H-Index of co-investigators on the abstract. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used to identify variables associated with resident publication.
University-affiliated programs (p=0.015), highest H-Index of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.002), and positive H-Index (≥1) of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.017) were significant predictors of resident publication on univariate analyses. There were no differences in the number of co-investigators (p=0.051), projects with physician co-investigators (p=1.000), or projects with Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Science (MS) co-investigators (p=0.536) between published and non-published projects. Multivariate analysis found that the highest H-index of non-physician co-investigator remained significant as a predictor to resident publication (odds ratio (OR) 1.09, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.01-1.17).
The quality of co-investigators, as measured by an increasing H-Index, is associated with the successful publication of residency projects. More emphasis may need to be placed on resident research co-investigator selection and training to prepare pharmacy residents for research and scholarly activity.
探讨共同研究者对药学住院医师项目成功发表成果的影响。
我们分析了在地区药学会议上发表和未发表的研究。摘要根据州和摘要年份进行1:1匹配。我们评估了摘要中共同研究者的大学附属关系、数量、学位和H指数。采用描述性和推断性分析来确定与住院医师发表成果相关的变量。
在单因素分析中，大学附属项目（p = 0.015）、非医师共同研究者的最高H指数（p = 0.002）以及非医师共同研究者的正H指数（≥1）（p = 0.017）是住院医师发表成果的显著预测因素。已发表和未发表项目在共同研究者数量（p = 0.051）、有医师共同研究者的项目（p = 1.000）或有哲学博士（PhD）或理学硕士（MS）共同研究者的项目（p = 0.536）方面没有差异。多因素分析发现，非医师共同研究者的最高H指数作为住院医师发表成果的预测因素仍然显著（优势比（OR）1.09，95%置信区间（CI）1.01 - 1.17）。
以不断增加的H指数衡量的共同研究者质量与住院医师项目的成功发表相关。可能需要更加重视住院医师研究共同研究者的选择和培训，以使药学住院医师为研究和学术活动做好准备。
