A study was conducted to gather data from dental deans regarding the publication rates of faculty in dental schools. An analysis of the findings suggests that when compared with a previous study the rate of publication has increased. For tenure awardees, the number of publications has increased when the findings of the current study are compared with the original study. At all academic ranks, the publication rate has increased. The increase is more pronounced at the ranks of associate and full professor. The effect on the publication rate is the same for those schools with small numbers of advanced education programs when compared with schools that have larger numbers of advanced programs. The changing nature of dental education has resulted in an increased emphasis on scholarly activity involving a shift away from teaching and toward scholarship. This shift is evident in faculty publication rates when the findings of the two studies conducted by the authors are compared. In the future, it may be expected that dental faculty may be required to contribute to the professional literature at a rate equivalent to or greater than is required at the present time.
一项研究旨在收集牙科院校院长关于牙科学院教员发表率的数据。对研究结果的分析表明，与之前的一项研究相比，发表率有所提高。对于获得终身教职的人员，将本研究结果与原研究结果相比较，发表的论文数量有所增加。在所有学术级别中，发表率均有所提高。在副教授和正教授级别，这种增长更为明显。与拥有较多高级教育项目的学校相比，高级教育项目较少的学校对发表率的影响相同。牙科教育性质的变化导致对学术活动的重视增加，涉及从教学转向学术研究。当比较作者进行的两项研究结果时，这种转变在教员发表率中很明显。未来，可以预期牙科教员可能需要以等同于或高于目前要求的速度为专业文献做出贡献。
