AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined factors affecting research productivity in orthopedic residency programs, specifically looking at the impact of dedicated resident research time on publication rates and quality.
- Over 350 residents and faculty from six US programs were analyzed, recording all publications from January 2007 to December 2015 and comparing their journal rankings.
- Findings revealed no significant difference in publication rates among programs with more or less dedicated research time, although faculty with over 10 years of experience published more, indicating that timing and experience may play a larger role than just dedicated research periods.
Article Abstract
Objective: It remains largely unknown what factors impact the research productivity of residency programs. We hypothesized that dedicated resident research time would not affect the quantity and quality of a program's peer-reviewed publication within orthopedic residencies. These findings may help programs improve structure their residency programs to maximize core competencies.
Design: Three hundred fifty-nine residents and 240 staff from six different US orthopedic residency programs were analyzed. All publications published by residents and faculty at each program from January 2007 to December 2015 were recorded. SCImago Journal Rankings (SJR) were found for each journal.
Results: There were no significant differences in publications by residents at each program (p > 0.05). Faculty with 10+ years of on staff, had significantly more publications than those with less than 10 years (p < 0.01). Programs with increased resident research time did not consistently produce publications with higher SJR than those without dedicated research time.
Conclusions: Increased dedicated resident research time did not increase resident publication rates or lead to publications with higher SJR.
