To determine research interests of reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) physicians and assess their academic productivity.
A questionnaire composed by the Society for REI (SREI) board members was e-mailed to members. PubMed was queried to quantify peer-reviewed publications.
An internal SREI questionnaire to members and online publication search.
PATIENT(S): Not applicable.
INTERVENTION(S): Questions involving research being performed, funding, relevance to fellow thesis, and important areas of future research. Publications were ascertained in the past 3 years, past 10 years, and total publications for SREI members.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Question responses and number of peer-reviewed publications.
RESULT(S): Most respondents currently conduct research, which was predominantly clinical. One-third have current research funding and two-thirds were ever funded. One-third had a National Institutes of Health grant and about half were principal investigators. Two-thirds had a basic science fellow thesis and 44% of respondents perform research related to their fellowship thesis. Important research areas included infertility outcomes, implantation, preimplantation genetic testing, and genetics. In the past 3 years, SREI members published 3,408 peer-reviewed articles (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 4.4 ± 9.0). In the past 10 years, SREI members had 10,162 peer-reviewed publications (mean±SD, 13.0 ± 24.3). When all publications were considered, SREI members published 24,088 peer-reviewed articles (mean±SD, 30.9 ± 53.0).
CONCLUSION(S): The REI fellows have learned to construct scientific articles, which will help them to better interpret the literature in the care of patients. The SREI members continue to pursue scientific investigation, commonly related to their fellowship thesis. Respondents support SREI funding research; the success of which should be judged by publications. Overall, SREI members have demonstrated significant academic productivity and published about 1,000 articles/year for the past 10 years, affirming the importance of research training.
确定生殖内分泌学和不孕不育（REI）医师的研究兴趣，并评估他们的学术成果。
SREI 委员会成员编制的问卷通过电子邮件发送给成员。在 PubMed 上查询同行评议出版物以量化数量。
内部 SREI 问卷给成员和在线出版物搜索。
不适用。
涉及正在进行的研究、资金、对同事论文的相关性以及未来研究的重要领域的问题。在过去 3 年、过去 10 年和 SREI 成员的总出版物中确定出版物。
问题答复和同行评议出版物数量。
大多数受访者目前正在进行研究，主要是临床研究。三分之一的人有当前的研究资金，三分之二的人曾经获得过资助。三分之一的人获得过美国国立卫生研究院的资助，大约一半的人是主要研究员。三分之二的人有基础科学研究员论文，四分之四的受访者进行与他们的研究员论文相关的研究。重要的研究领域包括不孕不育结果、着床、植入前基因检测和遗传学。在过去 3 年中，SREI 成员发表了 3408 篇同行评议文章（平均值±标准差[SD]，4.4±9.0）。在过去 10 年中，SREI 成员发表了 10162 篇同行评议文章（平均值±SD，13.0±24.3）。当考虑所有出版物时，SREI 成员发表了 24088 篇同行评议文章（平均值±SD，30.9±53.0）。
REI 研究员已经学会了构建科学文章，这将帮助他们更好地解读患者护理中的文献。SREI 成员继续进行科学研究，通常与他们的研究员论文相关。受访者支持 SREI 资助研究；其成功应根据出版物来判断。总体而言，SREI 成员表现出显著的学术成果，在过去 10 年中每年发表约 1000 篇文章，这肯定了研究培训的重要性。
