Having peer-reviewed articles published in medical journals is important for career progression in many medical specialties. Despite this, only a minority of junior doctors have the skills in the area of medical article publishing. The aim of this study was to assess junior doctors' views concerning being involved in medical article publishing and whether they perceive involvement as an effective method of teaching.
A cross-sectional survey was administered to a convenience sample of doctors who had been involved in medical article publishing. Questions concerned training and involvement in publishing as junior doctors, effects on education and training, is it an effective method of teaching and should publishing be part of their education and training program. Questions used the 5-point Likert scale. Of the 39 doctors, 37 (94.9%) doctors responded.
Only one-third of respondents agreed that they had adequate training or involvement in medical article publishing during their undergraduate medical training. Many (78.4%) agreed that it was difficult to get published as a junior doctor. Publishing as a junior doctor improved knowledge about publishing, understanding of the topic and interest in the field of study for 92, 92 and 73% of respondents, respectively. Many (89%) agreed that publishing made them eager to publish more. Most (76%) agreed that it was likely to encourage interest in a postgraduate career in that field of study. A majority (92%) felt that involvement in medical article publishing is an effective method of teaching and it should be a part of the junior doctors' education and training program.
Junior doctors feel that involvement in medical article publishing contributes to learning and education and is an effective method of teaching. This supports the need to incorporate such training into the junior doctors' education and training program.
在许多医学专业中，在医学期刊上发表经过同行评审的文章对职业发展很重要。尽管如此，只有少数初级医生具备医学文章发表领域的技能。本研究的目的是评估初级医生对参与医学文章发表的看法，以及他们是否认为参与是一种有效的教学方法。
对参与医学文章发表的医生便利样本进行横断面调查。问题涉及作为初级医生在发表方面的培训和参与情况、对教育和培训的影响、它是否是一种有效的教学方法以及发表是否应成为他们教育和培训计划的一部分。问题采用5分李克特量表。在39名医生中，37名（94.9%）医生做出了回应。
只有三分之一的受访者同意他们在本科医学培训期间接受了足够的医学文章发表培训或参与过相关活动。许多人（78.4%）同意作为初级医生发表文章很困难。分别有92%、92%和73%的受访者表示，作为初级医生发表文章提高了他们对发表的认识、对主题的理解以及对研究领域的兴趣。许多人（89%）同意发表使他们渴望发表更多文章。大多数人（76%）同意这可能会激发对该研究领域研究生涯的兴趣。绝大多数人（92%）认为参与医学文章发表是一种有效的教学方法，应该成为初级医生教育和培训计划的一部分。
初级医生认为参与医学文章发表有助于学习和教育，是一种有效的教学方法。这支持了将此类培训纳入初级医生教育和培训计划的必要性。
