Post-COVID Analysis of Which U.S. Medical Schools Produce the Most Neurosurgery Residents: 2021-2023 in Review.

Objective: The process surrounding application to the national residency matching program changed drastically because of COVID. Virtual interviews, pre-interview Zoom socials, and limitations on sub-internships are major changes that applicants worldwide have had to overcome. The available literature does not reflect the impact of major changes to the interview process.

Bibliometric Analysis and Applications of a Modified H-Index Examining the Research Productivity of Neurosurgery Faculty at High-Ranking Academic Institutions.

Objective: A major critique of the h-index is that it may be inflated by noncritical authorship. We propose a modified h-index (h), incorporating critical authorship, complementary to the h-index. We analyze its relationship to the traditional h-index, and how each varies across professional categories relevant to academic neurosurgery.
