Abstract:
We evaluated long-term publication outcomes of a workshop on planning and writing a research article attended by medical professionals. A cohort study included 243 participants attending 18-h workshops on research planning and writing and 243 controls identified by participants as their professional peers. A total of 17 workshops was organized by the editors of the Croatian Medical Journal. We measured the number of publications, citations and H-indices in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. While workshop participants and their controls had similar publication output before the workshops, workshop participants published significantly more scientific articles and had higher citation rates and H-index after the workshops. For the subgroup of authors who were all followed up for 11 years (n = 398), the increase in the number of articles became apparent in the third post-workshop year, and levelled out after the eighth post-workshop year. Workshop attendance proved to be a significant predictor of post-workshop publishing even when controlled for age, gender, and previous publications, indicating that short-term workshops on planning and writing research may be an important tool to increase long-term scientific productivity of medical professionals.
