The objectives of this study were to provide an estimate of self-reported peer-reviewed publications and evaluate characteristics associated with publication rates among pharmacy practice faculty within United States (US)-based colleges and schools of pharmacy.
An online survey instrument was distributed to pharmacy practice faculty via email listserv. Information regarding faculty members' publication histories, faculty position, institutional characteristics, and faculty demographic characteristics was gathered. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize participants, and t-tests and analysis of variance were used for comparisons among groups.
Two hundred and nine pharmacy practice faculty were included. The majority were female (67%), white (81%), and from public institutions (66%). Academic ranks were well-represented. Reporting higher percent time spent in research, employment at public institutions, and having earned a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree were all significantly associated with higher total number of publications and a higher annualized publication rate. Tenure track faculty who were not yet tenured had higher annual publication rates than faculty who were tenured or in non-tenure track positions. The overall annual publication rate was 2.0 ± 2.1 publications per year.
Characteristics such as being in a tenure track position, holding a PhD, spending more time in research, and employment within a public institution were all associated with a higher publication rate. These self-reported data from pharmacy practice faculty also indicate an increase in the average number of scholarly publications per year from previously reported estimates.
本研究的目的是提供一个美国（美国）药学院校的药学实践教师自我报告的同行评议出版物的估计，并评估与出版物率相关的特征。
通过电子邮件列表服务向药学实践教师分发在线调查工具。收集了有关教师出版史、教师职位、机构特征和教师人口统计学特征的信息。使用描述性统计数据来描述参与者，并用 t 检验和方差分析比较组间差异。
共纳入 209 名药学实践教师。他们大多数是女性（67%），白人（81%），来自公立机构（66%）。学术排名也很有代表性。报告更多的研究时间、在公立机构工作以及获得哲学博士（PhD）学位与更高的总出版物数量和更高的年出版物率显著相关。尚未获得终身教职的终身教职教师的年出版率高于终身教职或非终身教职的教师。总的年度出版率为 2.0±2.1 篇/年。
在终身教职岗位、获得博士学位、花费更多时间从事研究以及在公立机构工作等特征都与更高的出版率相关。这些来自药学实践教师的自我报告数据也表明，每年的学术出版物数量平均有所增加，高于之前的估计。
