“…In this context, the prominence of RBMFC suggests family and community physicians value the opportunity to engage in intellectual conversations with their own scholarly community. Such preference for national journals dedicated to their scholarly discipline has also been found among family physicians from the United States, 23 faculty in university departments of family medicine in the United States, 24 and primary care researchers from Spain. 25,26 This pattern seems to confirm the importance of national and regional organizations of family medicine maintaining journals to strengthen the scholarly status and research capacity of the discipline.…”

“…This diversity of journal subjects is well documented for family physicians and for faculty in departments of family medicine, at least in the United States. 23,24 Being at the border of clinical medicine with applied social sciences, 27,28 family and community medicine has ample opportunity for interdisciplinary research, which might or might not be published in journals about family practice or primary health care. Furthermore, journals of bordering disciplines may be more attractive for career progression because of publishing more basic research and thus having higher journal-level citation metrics.…”

Introduction: Authors choose scholarly journals not only to advance their careers but also to interact with their respective scholarly communities. Objective: To describe the journals where family and community physicians in Brazil publish their work. Methods: In late 2018, we compiled a nationwide list of family and community physicians, and downloaded their curricula from the Lattes Platform. We extracted data on their complete journal articles from their curricula, completed these data with queries to CrossRef, VHL/LILACS, and PubMed/MEDLINE, and obtained data on the journals with queries to the United States NLM Catalog. Results: We found 3558 unique articles, published by 1011 journals. The most productive journal was RBMFC (Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade), which published 347 (9.8%) of these articles. About one in six articles were published in journals on family practice or primary health care. The proportion of articles published in journals in Brazil decreased during the study period from 83.8% to 58.4%. Conclusion: As in other countries, family and community physicians in Brazil usually publish in the national journal dedicated to their scholarly community, while also publishing extensively in journals from other disciplines. The increasing proportion of articles published in journals outside Brazil suggests primary care research in Brazil is increasingly of international relevance.

“…Because traditional journal-level metrics have not favored RBMFC, we can infer family and community physicians value the opportunity to engage in intellectual conversations with their own scholarly community. Such preference for national journals dedicated to their scholarly discipline has also been found among family physicians from the United States, 23 faculty in university departments of family medicine in the United States, 24 and primary care researchers from Spain. 25,26 This pattern seems to confirm the importance of national and regional organizations of family medicine maintaining journals to strengthen the scholarly status and research capacity of the discipline.…”

Introduction: Authors choose scholarly journals not only to advance their careers but also to interact with their respective scholarly communities. Objective: To describe the journals where family and community physicians in Brazil publish their work. Methods: In late 2018, we compiled a nationwide list of family and community physicians, and downloaded their curricula vitae (CV) from the Lattes Platform. We extracted data on their complete journal articles from their CV, completed these data with queries to CrossRef, VHL/LILACS, and PubMed/MEDLINE, and obtained data on the journals with queries to the United States NLM Catalog. Results: We found 3622 unique articles, published by 1014 journals. The most productive journal was RBMFC (Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade), which published 353 (9.7%) of these articles. About one in six articles were published in journals on family practice or primary health care. The proportion of articles published in journals in Brazil decreased during the study period from 83.3% to 59.0%. Conclusion: As in other countries, family and community physicians in Brazil usually publish in the national journal dedicated to their scholarly community, while also publishing extensively in journals from other disciplines. The increasing proportion of articles published in journals outside Brazil suggests primary care research in Brazil is increasingly of international relevance.

“…To that end, endeavors at the national level to address faculty scholarship and research training pipelines are encouraging. [22][23][24][25] The rising interest in scholarship as we confront health inequities laid bare by COVID-19 reinforces the need to train family physicians in the scholarly skills required to achieve health equity.…”

Background and Objectives: Scholarship is recognized as a challenge in many family medicine residency programs. Among evaluations of scholarship curricula, few describe resident experiences of such interventions. To bridge this gap in knowledge, we measured resident confidence, satisfaction, and participation before and after implementing a new scholarship curriculum. Methods: The redesigned curriculum included a structured project timeline, resident research in progress meetings, faculty mentorship, scholarly skills workshops, and mentored journal clubs. We conducted a curriculum evaluation via surveys of residents prior to implementation and after years 1 and 2, measuring satisfaction with the scholarly environment and opportunities, and confidence and participation in specific scholarly activities using Likert scales from 1 (least confidence) to 5. Results: Compared to baseline (n=28), after 2 years (n=27) of the curriculum, residents reported increased mean confidence in critical appraisal of scientific articles (2.6±1.1 to 3.3±0.7, P=.007), carrying out a scholarly project (2.5±0.8 to 3.4±1.0, P=.005), and writing an abstract (3.0±0.8 to 3.8±0.7, P=.002). As compared to the first year, more residents in the second year participated in quality improvement projects (7.1% vs 29.6%, P=.031) and wrote conference abstracts (10.7% vs 37.0%, P=.022). Over the same period, those very satisfied with the scholarly environment increased from 0 (0%) to 8 (29.6%, P=.017). The June 2020 survey identified increased interest in scholarship because of the antiracism movement (51.9%) and COVID-19 pandemic (40.7%). Conclusions: Implementation of a redesigned scholarship curriculum was associated with increases in family medicine resident scholarship confidence and satisfaction.
