Bibliometrics, such as the Hirsch index (h-index) and the more recently developed relative citation ratio (RCR), are utilized to evaluate research productivity. Our study evaluates demographics, research productivity, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in academic otology.
Academic otologists were identified, and their demographics were collected using institutional faculty profiles (N = 265). Funding data were obtained using the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Reports Database. The h-index was calculated using Scopus and mean (m-RCR) and weighted RCR (w-RCR) were calculated using the NIH iCite tool.
H-index (aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.10-1.27, p < 0.001), but not m-RCR (aOR 1.50, 95% CI 0.97-2.31, p = 0.069) or w-RCR (aOR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.00, p = 0.231), was associated with receiving NIH funding. Men had greater h-index (16 vs. 9, p < 0.001) and w-RCR (51.8 vs. 23.0, p < 0.001), but not m-RCR (1.3 vs. 1.3, p = 0.269) than women. Higher academic rank was associated with greater h-index and w-RCR (p < 0.001). Among assistant professors, men had greater h-index than women (9.0 vs. 8.0, p = 0.025). At career duration 11-20 years, men had greater h-index (14.0 vs. 8.0, p = 0.009) and w-RCR (52.7 vs. 25.8, p = 0.022) than women.
The h-index has a strong relationship with NIH funding in academic otology. Similar h-index, m-RCR, and w-RCR between men and women across most academic ranks and career durations suggests production of similarly impactful research. The m-RCR may correct some deficiencies of time-dependent bibliometrics and its consideration in academic promotion and research funding allocation may promote representation of women in otology.

文献计量学指标，如赫希指数（h指数）和最近开发的相对引用率（RCR），被用于评估研究生产力。我们的研究评估了学术耳科学领域的人口统计学特征、研究生产力和美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的资金资助情况。
确定学术耳科医生，并使用机构教员档案收集他们的人口统计学信息（N = 265）。使用NIH研究项目在线报告工具支出与报告数据库获取资金资助数据。使用Scopus计算h指数，使用NIH iCite工具计算平均相对引用率（m-RCR）和加权相对引用率（w-RCR）。
h指数（调整后比值比1.18，95%置信区间1.10 - 1.27，p < 0.001）与获得NIH资金资助相关，但m-RCR（调整后比值比
1.50，95%置信区间0.97 - 2.31，p = 0.069）或w-RCR（调整后比值比1.00，95%置信区间0.99 - 1.00，p = 0.231）与获得NIH资金资助无关。男性的h指数（16对9，p < 0.001）和w-RCR（51.8对23.0，p < 0.001）高于女性，但m-RCR（1.3对1.3，p = 0.269）无差异。较高的学术职级与更高的h指数和w-RCR相关（p < 0.001）。在助理教授中，男性的h指数高于女性（9.0对8.0，p = 0.025）。在职业生涯11 - 20年时，男性的h指数（14.0对8.0，p = 0.009）和w-RCR（52.7对25.8，p = 0.022）高于女性。
在学术耳科学领域，h指数与NIH资金资助有很强的关联。在大多数学术职级和职业生涯阶段，男性和女性的h指数、m-RCR和w-RCR相似，这表明他们产出的研究影响力相似。m-RCR可能纠正了一些依赖时间的文献计量学的不足，在学术晋升和研究资金分配中考虑m-RCR可能会促进女性在耳科学领域的代表性。
