The French medical residency system requires the completion and subsequent defense of a thesis. Only a minority of this work is eventually published in an peer-reviewed journal. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the publication rate and associated patterns among residents appointed to the medical oncology specialty in France in order to identify ways of improving their educational framework and to promote the dissemination of their results. The secondary objective was to describe the characteristics associated with a publication in a high impact journal.
Medical students who obtained a medical oncology appointment in France between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively identified. Records of medical theses listed in the SUDOC University Documentation System catalog were used and cross-referenced with a Medline search.
Of the one hundred and eighty-five students included in the analysis, a publication indexed in Medline was found for 55 of them (29.7%). The average impact-factor was 5.71. The main factor independently associated with publication was a delay of ≤5 years between appointment and thesis defense dates. Among the published works, the time between appointment and defense, language of publication, study design, number of centers and patients included, and the fact that the thesis reported a clinical trial, were associated with publication in a journal with a high impact factor.
These results show an approximative thesis work publication rate of 70% by medical oncology residents, and suggest the importance of starting the thesis project early during the residency in order to be published.
法国的医学住院医师培训体系要求完成一篇论文并随后进行答辩。最终只有少数这类论文会在同行评审期刊上发表。本研究的主要目的是评估法国肿瘤内科专业住院医师的论文发表率及相关模式，以确定改善其教育框架的方法并促进研究成果的传播。次要目的是描述与在高影响力期刊上发表论文相关的特征。
回顾性确定2010年至2015年间在法国获得肿瘤内科住院医师职位的医学生。使用法国国家联合大学图书馆系统（SUDOC）目录中列出的医学论文记录，并与医学文献数据库（Medline）搜索结果进行交叉核对。
在纳入分析的185名学生中，有55人（29.7%）的论文被Medline收录。平均影响因子为5.71。与发表独立相关的主要因素是从获得职位到论文答辩的时间间隔≤5年。在已发表的论文中，从获得职位到答辩的时间、发表语言、研究设计、纳入的中心和患者数量，以及论文报告了一项临床试验这一事实，与在高影响力期刊上发表相关。
这些结果显示肿瘤内科住院医师的论文发表率约为70%，并表明在住院医师培训期间尽早启动论文项目对于发表的重要性。
