Determine the impact of self-citation on external funding for orthopedic fellowship directors.
The San Francisco Match's website identified directors encompassing 8 subspecialties. The Scopus database identified the number of publications, citations, and -index for each director. -index was assessed with/without self-citation.
Mean publications, citations, self-citation rate, and -index for the 446 directors were 71.2, 1816, 3.86%, and 18.3, respectively. Excluding self-citations reduces mean -index to 18.0; and -index changed by ≤ 1 integer in 95% of directors.
Self-citation has minimal impact among fellowship directors and should not be adjusted for when considering external funding.
确定自我引用对骨科专科住院医师培训项目主任获得外部资金的影响。
旧金山配对项目的网站确定了涵盖8个亚专业的主任。Scopus数据库确定了每位主任的出版物数量、引用次数和h指数。h指数在有/无自我引用的情况下进行评估。
446位主任的平均出版物数量、引用次数、自我引用率和h指数分别为71.2、1816、3.86%和18.3。排除自我引用后,平均h指数降至18.0;95%的主任h指数变化≤1个整数。
自我引用对专科住院医师培训项目主任的影响极小,在考虑外部资金时不应进行调整。
