    Exploring the publishing patterns and journal use of Graduate Medical Education (GME) residents in a large medical school
    (Midwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association, 2023-10-13) Ralston, Rick K.; Stumpff, Julia C.; Ramirez, Mirian
    OBJECTIVE: Graduate Medical Education residents are often encouraged or required to publish their scholarship, and librarians are asked for assistance during that process. We investigated the publication patterns of residents and the journals they cite in their publications. This knowledge will help librarians better instruct residents and inform collection development efforts that support resident publishing. METHODS: Residents who completed their training between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, were searched in Scopus. Included in this analysis were case studies/series, original research, or review articles authored by residents affiliated with our institution and published from one year after the trainee start date to 18 months after the trainee termination date. The analysis included journals in which residents published, number of publications, number of residents publishing, number of citations per publication, distribution of publishing among programs, journals cited within publications, months from start date to first publication, and subject area impact of journals in which residents published. RESULTS: Of 266 residents analyzed, 34% published at least one article. The 291 articles included in the study appeared in 188 different journals. The surgery department had the most publications and citations. Urology and Otolaryngology tied for most publications per resident with 8.33. Otolaryngology had the most citations per resident with 110.7. The top 20 journals cited in resident publications were cited 50 times or more. The median time to publication of residents' first article was 38.6 months. 48% of journals in which residents published ranked in the top 50% of their category by JIF. CONCLUSIONS: GME residents publish in a wide variety of journals, and almost half of residents' articles are published in high-impact journals (Q1 & Q2) in their subject area. A majority of residents published between 2-4 years after their start date. Libraries might provide guidance about publishing original research to support their scholarly publishing. Further, libraries can evaluate if their collections meet their residents’ research needs by examining journals cited in residents’ publications.

    Understanding the Experiences of Black Women Medical Students and Residents: A Narrative Review..
    (2022-06-14) Sharp, Sacha; Hixson, Ashley; Stumpff, Julia C.; Williamson, Francesca
    Background: Few research studies examine medical students and residents with intersectional identities. In the emerging literature, data on Black women’s experiences may be misrepresented and misinterpreted as studies aggregate data for women, students of color, and Black/African American men. As such, these studies do not account for the nuanced experiences of gendered racism that Black women students and residents may encounter during their medical education. Methods: Using Crenshaw’s intersectionality as an analytical tool, we conducted a narrative review to highlight how Black women medical students and residents are rendered invisible in the current literature on medical education. Results: The results generated 13 citations specifically discussing Black women medical students and residents, with only six studies being empirical research. Conclusion: We conclude that 13 articles is inadequate for understanding the experiences of these populations. Without centering Black women or using an intersectional lens, researchers could invalidate the lived experiences of this population and create barriers to the political resources Black women learners need to be successful. Moreover, the lack of intention behind addressing the needs of Black women can be viewed as complicity in the oppressive structures that serve to subjugate them.
