Background: The scientific activity of neurosurgeons and neurosurgery residents as measured by bibliometric parameters is of increased interest. While data about academic output for neurosurgeons in the USA, the UK, and Canada have been published, no similar results for German neurosurgical residents exist. Within this study, we aim to evaluate the academic output of German neurosurgery residents in 35 academic residency programs.
Methods: Data for each resident were collected from the departmental websites, Pubmed, and Scopus. Further analyses evaluated the relationship between publication productivity, sex, and academic degree (Dr. med.).
Results: Data from 424 neurosurgery residents were analyzed. A total of 1222 publications were considered. A total of 355 (29%) of the 1222 publications were first-author publications. The average number of publications per resident was 2.9; the average h-index and m-quotient was 1.1 and 0.4, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in academic output and h-index among neurosurgical residents with a doctoral degree compared with residents without such degree (5.3 vs. 1.3, p < 0.0001 and 2.0 vs. 0.5, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: This is the very first study evaluating the academic output of neurosurgical residents in academic neurosurgical departments in Germany.

Introduction: Health professions education research has evolved as a discipline, yet chronological trends in topics and methodologies together have not been comprehensively explored previously. This study aimed to identify the trends in research topics and methodologies used in primary empirical studies published in reputable health professions education research journals at the turn of three decades (2000, 2010, and 2020).
Methods: Underpinned by relativism and subjectivism, this review of trends included primary empirical studies published in five quartile 1 health professions education research journals, defined by Clarivate (Academic Medicine, Advances in Health Sciences Education, Medical Education, Medical Teacher, and Nurse Education Today) from three sample years at the start of three decades (2000, 2010, and 2020).

Objectives: To conduct a comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to the broader autism phenotype, the paper endeavors to delineate the key research directions and topics, document the current research trends, and furnish insightful analyses and novel perspectives to foster future advancements in the field, with the aid of CiteSpace and VOS viewer.
Methods: CiteSpace and VOS viewer are two kinds of software for visualizing citations that is intended to examine academic literature and identify possible sources of knowledge. The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve articles from 1994 to 2024 that discussed the autism phenotype in general.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is being regulated in ophthalmology journals, highlighting a lack of standardized guidelines.
- Approximately 69% of the 140 journals reviewed provide explicit guidance on GAI usage, emphasizing the role of human authors and requiring disclosure of GAI involvement.
- Despite general agreement among journals on certain ethical considerations, differences in GAI use and disclosure practices suggest a need for more uniform guidelines.
Stakeholder prioritization preferences for individuals awaiting hip and knee arthroplasty.
Bone Joint J
January 2025
Institute of Applied Health Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK.
Aims: Prolonged waits for hip and knee arthroplasty have raised questions about the equity of current approaches to waiting list prioritization for those awaiting surgery. We therefore set out to understand key stakeholder (patient and surgeon) preferences for the prioritization of patients awaiting such surgery, in order to guide future waiting list redesign.
Methods: A combined qualitative/quantitative approach was used.
