How to measurecitations Impact factor: number of timesarticlespublished in 2010 and 2011 were citedbyindexedjournalsduring 2012. total number of "citableitems" publishedbythatjournal in 2010 and 2011. = IF 2012 H-Index: A scientist has index h if h of his/her Nppapers have at least h citations, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each. (a scholar with an index of h has published h papers each of which has been cited in other papers at least h times.)
Aim: To assess the predictors of residents’ pursuit of fellowship training by surveying current urology residents and recent graduates. (Not important: debt load, age, marital status, and a desire to pursue a career in academic medicine) Freilich et al Urology 2011 Nov;78(5):986-92.
Aim: To quantify and determine predictive factors for resident manuscript production „While the majority of residents are not involved in publication before residency, most submit and publish at least 1 manuscript as first author in a peer reviewed journal during residency. The number of prior publications and months of allotted research time are significantly predictive of resident manuscript productivity. In turn, manuscript submission is indicative of the decision to pursue fellowship training.“ Hellenthal et al J Urol 2009, 181, 281-287
Aim: To evaluate resident productivity, as measured by peer reviewed publication output, and determined its relation to future publication output as junior faculty. Yang et al J Urol 2011, Vol. 185, 642-646

Aim: To evaluate resident productivity, as measured by peer reviewed publication output, and determined its relation to future publication output as junior faculty. Conclusion: Publication output correlated with increasing dedicated research time and was associated with the pursuit of fellowship training and an academic career. Publication during residency predicted future academic achievement. Yang et al J Urol 2011, Vol. 185, 642-646
Aim: To compare the publication records, academic promotions, and leadership appointments of women and men physicians longitudinally throughout academic careers Reed et al Acad Med. 2011;86:43–47.

Aim: To compare the publication records, academic promotions, and leadership appointments of women and men physicians longitudinally throughout academic careers Conclusions: Women's publication rates increase and actually exceed those of men in the late stages of careers, yet women hold fewer leadership positions than men overall, suggesting that academic productivity assessed midcareer may not be an appropriate measure of leadership skills and that factors other than publication record and academic rank should be considered in selecting leaders. Reed et al Acad Med. 2011;86:43–47.
