Abstract

Publications produced by faculty over a three-year period are used in analyzing the relative research productivity of basic and clinical science departments in a college of medicine. The citation ratings of the journals, the number of authors, and the byline position of the faculty member are used in various publication evaluation schemes. The departments vary almost tenfold in research productivity per faculty member. Results of the analysis demonstrate that the number of authors and the byline position influence departmental productivity rankings very little. Rankings are substantially affected, however, when the journals are weighted based heavily on citation ratings.
