“…23 While the assigned values may be controversial (as is the topic of authorship in general 24,25 ), they were selected in an effort to stratify contribution, particularly of the first 3 authorship positions, as we felt it would be rare for a resident to be a senior author.…”

BACKGROUND:Bibliometrics is defined as the study of statistical and mathematical methods used to quantitatively analyze scientific literature. The application of bibliometrics in neurosurgery continues to evolve. OBJECTIVE: To calculate a number of publication productivity measures for almost all neurosurgical residents and departments within North America. These measures were correlated with survey results on the educational environment within residency programs. METHODS: During May to June 2017, data were collected from departmental websites and Scopus to compose a bibliometric database of neurosurgical residents and residency programs. Data related to authorship value and study content were collected on all articles published by residents. A survey of residency program research and educational environment was administered to program directors and coordinators; results were compared with resident academic productivity. RESULTS:The median number of publications in residency was 3; median h-index and Resident index were 1 and 0.17 during residency, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in academic productivity among male neurosurgical residents compared with females. The majority of articles published were tier 1 clinical articles. Residency program research support was significantly associated with increased resident productivity (P < .001). Scholarly activity requirements were not associated with increased resident academic productivity. CONCLUSION: This study represents the most comprehensive bibliometric assessment of neurosurgical resident academic productivity during training to date. New benchmarks for individual and department academic productivity are provided. A supportive research environment for neurosurgical residents is associated with increased academic productivity, but a scholarly activity requirement was, surprisingly, not shown to have a positive effect.

“…Another bias is that in 1332 multi-author articles where the authorship contribution is not specified in the WoS, the first author may not be the corresponding author. Without making the authors' contributions to research articles explicit, readers may draw false conclusions about author credit and accountability 43 .…”

“…In contrast, absence in these roles could be associated with subordination, a passive or secondary role, or a merely honorific presence. In some areas, including biomedical research, the last author position is also highly valued and corresponds to the function of direction or supervision of the research (Baerlocher et al, 2007;Bhandari et al, 2014). This convention is not followed in areas with less collaboration, including the area analyzed in the present paper, Social Sciences.…”

“…Finally, there are authors who present higher values as corresponding authors than as first authors; these may fall into the category of "directive, supervisory or managing leadership" (type IV), as they probably prefer to perform these functions, assuming the responsibility for the content and the role assigned to the final author of some disciplines (Baerlocher et al, 2007;Bhandari et al, 2014).…”

Research activities are subject to constant processes of evaluation, which increasingly include the use of bibliometric indicators to support decision-making. This paper presents a model for the individual evaluation of different facets of researchers' work and discusses the interest in using "control" parameters to identify deviations suggesting inappropriate conduct. The proposed model is illustrated through an empirical example that analyzes the activity of Spanish researchers in the area of Library and Information Science. There are important differences among the most productive authors, and in many cases, there is no association between the degree of participation in high-impact journals and citation indicators. The control indicators help to identify behaviors such as excessive self-citation, endogamy with regard to the principal journal of publication, and co-dependence with other investigators. We have identified different roles related to the concept of leadership, measured by means of the participation as first or corresponding author, prestige, direct contribution, active direction, supervision, or management.
