Academic Productivity of Cardiologists Working as Faculty Members in Universities in Turkey: A Bibliometric Analysis Study
Öz: Introduction: Bibliometric studies are important for the evaluation of academic productivity. The aim was to investigate the
academic productivity of cardiologists working as university faculty members in Turkey in terms of the number of publications,
number of citations, and h-indices, and to examine the relationship of these metrics with academic title and gender.
Methods: Cardiologists working as a professor, associate professors, assistant professors, and lecturers in cardiology departments
in universities in Turkey were determined using the Council of Higher Education Academic Search platform. A number
of publications and citations, and h-indices of the cardiologists were obtained from the Scopus database.
Results: Data from 760 cardiologists were analyzed in the study. Eighty-four percent of the cardiologists were male (n=639).
Of the cardiologists, 51.1% were professors (n=388), 21.6% were associate professors (n=164), 23.4% were assistant professors
(n=178), and 3.9% were lecturers (n=30). Associate professor ratio in women (12.4%) was about half of that in men (23.3%).
There were significant differences among the titles with regard to the total number of publications and citations, and the
h-indices (all p<0.001). The median number of publications and citations, and h-index was highest among professors, while
they were followed by associate professors in all three variables. There was no significant difference between the assistant
professors and lecturers in terms of all metrics (p>0.05). In comparisons by gender, the number of publications and citations,
and the h-indices was significantly higher in male associate and assistant professors than in female counterparts (p<0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: Academic productivity of cardiologists working in cardiology departments at universities in
Turkey is presented using the metrics of number of publications and citations, and h-indices. It was determined that academic
productivity increases as the title increases. Most of the cardiologists were male. The academic productivity of male
cardiologists among associate and assistant professors was higher than their female counterparts.
