10504 Background: The increasing proportion of women in medicine has not been adequately reflected in the gender distribution of residents, particularly in highly competitive subspecialties such as neurosurgery and radiation oncology. The presence of at least one pre-residency peer-reviewed publication (PRP) was found to be associated with future resident choice of academic over private practice career in a recent radiation oncology resident graduating class, with no significant gender difference in the likelihood of having a PRP (McClelland et al., Practical Radiation Oncology 2017). We sought to pursue a gender-based analysis of PRP productivity in a current junior resident class. Methods: A list of radiation oncology residents from the graduating class of 2022 (PGY-2 academic year of 2018-2019) was obtained through internet investigation. In addition to gender, demographics included dual degree status and presence/absence of a PhD. Research productivity was calculated using PRP number, defined as the number of a resident’s publications listed in PubMed (pubmed.gov) through the calendar year of residency application (2016 for the class of 2022), as previously described. Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Of 179 residents examined from the 2022 class, 55 (31%) were women, representing a nine percent increase from the resident class of 2016. Four-fifths had at least one PRP, 33% had dual degrees, and 18% had a PhD. These percentages were comparable to their male counterparts, 73% of whom had at least one PRP, 28% who had dual degrees, and 15% who had a PhD. Specific analyses revealed no statistically significant differences by gender in any of these benchmarks (p>0.05). Conclusions: While slower than the overall trend of increased female representation in medicine, the proportion of women in radiation oncology residency has increased by approximately 1.4% per year over a recent six year span. There remain no significant differences in PRP productivity between male and female residents, and there are no significant gender differences in the likelihood of dual degree status or PhD status. Further study will be needed to determine how these findings manifest in career choice following graduation.

The quantification of scholarly performance has become an obvious necessity in many academic pursuits. Evaluation of research output is therefore an integral element of R&D institutions worldwide. However the quality- weighted dimensions of quantity are gaining momentum. Consequently, a good number of evaluative studies on publication productivity have been made available in scientometric literature. This paper critically scrutinises the literature on research productivity concerning scientific institutions (include universities and departments) in an informational context. It provides a thorough review to map the quantum of knowledge relating to ‘institutional research productivity’ correlating the Indian vista. It is, however, indicative to find the gaps and shortcomings in this specialty of research; hence enunciate the issues both attended and unattended. The paper also offers a few recommendations to undertake evaluative studies with caution. Thus it shows a coherent picture of this emerging area in the sociology of science.

AJAE per capita page counts provide one measure of an institution's research strength. In this article we refine Willis et al.'s measure of department size and, based on the refined measure, recompute departmental rankings for North American institutions. Results indicate that Northeastern United States departments are more widely represented among the top 20 institutions than 20 years ago and that two Canadian institutions—Guelph and British Columbia—rank in the top 12. The median AJAE publication frequency for the top 30 research institutions is about one article per research faculty member every 12 years. The AJAE page-count measure was found to be highly correlated (R2 = 0.82) with citation counts, whether narrowly or broadly defined. Thus, AJAE page counts appear to provide a simple yet valid representation of institutional research productivity.

The University

Research productivity is the topmost concern of most universities. Based on the survey conducted, only few of the faculty at Palawan State University had published research in the last six years. This study aimed to identify the predictors of research productivity to provide administrators with research-based information that will serve as the basis in the formulation of institutional research policies that will help increase research productivity. The researcher used descriptive research design and involved the 277 faculty and 12 administrative officials of Palawan State University, Puerto Princesa City, Philippines as respondents. Triangulated data gathering techniques which include questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion validated by a panel of experts were used. A parametric test such as multiple regression was used in the statistical analysis of data. This study revealed that gender, rank, and number of teaching hours predicted research productivity. Interviews and focus group discussions disclosed that some of the faculties were self-motivated to do research while others were motivated by points for promotion and load reduction. The university must organize research training and mentoring on the research process; give remuneration; reduce the workload of faculty who conducts research; enhance faculty’s self-motivation to do research and set guidelines for promotion of outstanding researchers.
