The production of quality surgical evidence and the development of academic surgery have emerged as priorities for the solution of current barriers to achieving the objectives of global surgery. The academic training and scientific production of academic surgeons is essential for the production of new knowledge. In Latin America, specifically in Colombia, there are no studies that have analyzed this production.
A retrospective cross-sectional bibliometric study was carried out, in which the Colombian Ministry of Science database was consulted with the validated results up to July 2021. In the search section for research profiles, the key word "Surgery" was used, and all associated CvLAC (profiles where the information of Colombian researchers can be found) and their registered products were reviewed.
A total of 1701 researchers in surgery were registered in the database of the Colombian Ministry of Science, of which only 380 corresponded to academic surgeons with correct registration. Only 6 (1.6%) were found to have a Ph.D., 45 (11.8%) a fellow, and 20 (5.3%) a master's degree. 79.5% (n = 302) of Colombian academic surgeons are men. Only 10.2% (n = 39) are formally categorized as researchers. 45.3% (n = 172) have not published scientific articles. The total number of published articles was 2386, and most of them were published in Q4 journals (n = 1121; 47%) or not indexed by SJR/Publindex (n = 517; 21.6%). Only 3 surgeons have more than 100 articles. 9.5% have published at least 1 book, and 40% have participated in at least 1 project.
According to data registered with the Colombian Ministry of Science, a large part of the scientific production of Colombian academic surgeons is concentrated in scientific articles, most of which are found in Q4 or non-categorized journals. Approximately half of the academic surgeons have not published at least one scientific article. However, one fifth of those who have, have published at least 8 articles. Less than 20% of surgeons have additional postgraduate studies, and only 1 in 4 academic surgeons is a woman.
高质量外科证据的产生以及学术外科的发展已成为解决当前全球外科目标实现障碍的优先事项。学术外科医生的学术培训和科研成果对于新知识的产生至关重要。在拉丁美洲，特别是在哥伦比亚，尚无研究对这一成果进行分析。
开展了一项回顾性横断面文献计量研究，查阅了哥伦比亚科学部数据库截至2021年7月的有效结果。在研究概况搜索板块，使用关键词“Surgery”，并对所有相关的CvLAC（可找到哥伦比亚研究人员信息的概况）及其注册成果进行了审查。
哥伦比亚科学部数据库中总共登记了1701名外科研究人员，其中只有380名是注册信息正确的学术外科医生。仅发现6人（1.6%）拥有博士学位，45人（11.8%）拥有研究员资格，20人（5.3%）拥有硕士学位。79.5%（n = 302）的哥伦比亚学术外科医生为男性。只有10.2%（n = 39）被正式归类为研究人员。45.3%（n = 172）未发表过科学文章。发表文章的总数为2386篇，其中大部分发表在Q4期刊（n = 1121；47%）或未被SJR/Publindex索引（n = 517；21.6%）。只有3名外科医生发表的文章超过100篇。9.5%的人至少出版过1本书，40%的人至少参与过1个项目。
根据哥伦比亚科学部登记的数据，哥伦比亚学术外科医生的大部分科研成果集中在科学文章上，其中大部分发表在Q4或未分类的期刊上。约一半的学术外科医生至少发表过一篇科学文章。然而，在发表过文章的人中，五分之一的人至少发表了8篇文章。不到20%的外科医生有额外的研究生学习经历，且每4名学术外科医生中只有1名女性。
