Abstract

Background

H-index is an indicator of research productivity considered in faculty promotion. We examine trends in female authorship and effect of student authorship on H-index of principal investigators (PI).

Methods

Author gender, degree, designation as student, PI, or other, were recorded from Journal of Endourology from 2011 to 2020. PI Scopus H-index was recorded. PIs were classified into having student authors (SA) or not (nSA). Analysis conducted with IBM SPSS.

Results

Of 819 total articles, 26 % had SA. Articles with SAs increased from 22.2 % in 2011 to 31.1 % in 2020 (p for trend<0.01). There was an increasing trend in female authorship overall (R² = 0.84). PIs with SA had a significantly higher mean H-index than those without, across all years (SA = 30.91, nSA = 27.45, p = 0.025).

Conclusions

Student authorship is increasing and positively benefits PI H-index. Female authorship is increasing overall within urology. Encouraging mentorship and student research can enhance and support female student interest in urology.

泌尿学研究中学生作者的学术影响。

背景：H-index 是教师晋升时考虑的研究生产力指标。我们研究了女性作者的趋势以及学生作者对主要研究者（PI）H-指数的影响：方法：2011 年至 2020 年期间，《Journal of Endourology》记录了作者的性别、学位、学生身份、首席研究员或其他身份。记录主要研究者的 Scopus H 指数。PI分为有学生作者（SA）和无学生作者（nSA）。使用 IBM SPSS 进行分析：在所有 819 篇文章中，26% 有学生作者。有学生作者的文章从 2011 年的 22.2% 增加到 2020 年的 31.1%（趋势 p2 = 0.84）。在所有年份中，有SA的PI的平均H指数明显高于没有SA的PI（SA = 30.91, nSA = 27.45, p = 0.025）：结论：学生作者人数正在增加，并对 PI H 指数产生积极影响。在泌尿外科中，女性作者人数总体上在增加。鼓励导师指导和学生研究可以提高和支持女学生对泌尿外科的兴趣。
