To provide relative citation ratio (RCR) benchmark data for the field of vitreoretinal surgery.
Cross-sectional bibliometric analysis.
Fellowship-trained vitreoretinal faculty at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited institutions.
Academic vitreoretinal surgeons were individually indexed using the National Institutes of Health iCite Website. Publication count, mean RCR score, and weighted RCR score were collected for each author between June and July 2022 and included PubMed-listed articles from 1980 to 2022. Data were compared by gender, career duration, academic rank, and acquisition of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Total number of publications, mean RCR value, and weighted RCR value.
Our sample consisted of 677 academic vitreoretinal surgeons from 113 institutions. These physicians produced highly impactful research with a median publication count of 30 (interquartile range [IQR], 11-82), median RCR of 1.78 (IQR, 1.09-3.00), and median weighted RCR of 59.83 (14.31-195.78). Academic rank and career duration were associated with increased publication count, mean RCR, and weighted RCR. Publication count and weighted RCR differed significantly by gender; however, no difference was observed with mean RCR.
Current academic vitreoretinal surgeons have high mean RCR values relative to the National Institutes of Health standard RCR value of 1. This benchmark data serves as a more accurate gauge of research impact within the vitreoretinal community and can be used to inform self, institutional, and departmental evaluations. Additionally, the mean RCR may provide an accurate metric for quantifying research productivity among historically underrepresented groups that are disadvantaged by time-dependent factors, such as number of publications.

为玻璃体视网膜外科学领域提供相对引文比（RCR）基准数据。
横断面文献计量分析。
经研究生医学教育认证委员会（Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education）认证的机构中接受过奖学金培训的玻璃体视网膜教员。
使用美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）的 iCite 网站对每位学术玻璃体视网膜外科医生进行个体索引。于 2022 年 6 月至 7 月期间收集每位作者的出版物数量、平均 RCR 得分和加权 RCR 得分，并纳入从 1980 年至 2022 年在 PubMed 上列出的文章。根据性别、职业年限、学术职称以及是否获得哲学博士（PhD）进行数据比较。
总出版物数量、平均 RCR 值和加权 RCR 值。
我们的样本包括来自 113 个机构的 677 名学术玻璃体视网膜外科医生。这些医生的研究成果具有高度影响力，中位数出版物数量为 30 篇（四分位距[IQR]，11-82），中位数 RCR 为 1.78（IQR，1.09-3.00），中位数加权 RCR 为 59.83（IQR，14.31-195.78）。学术职称和职业年限与出版物数量、平均 RCR 和加权 RCR 的增加相关。性别与出版物数量和加权 RCR 差异显著；然而，平均 RCR 无差异。
当前的学术玻璃体视网膜外科医生的平均 RCR 值高于美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）的 1 作为标准 RCR 值。这些基准数据可作为玻璃体视网膜领域研究影响力的更准确指标，并可用于自我、机构和部门评估。此外，平均 RCR 可能是量化历史上代表性不足的群体研究生产力的准确指标，这些群体因出版物数量等与时间相关的因素而处于不利地位。
