Abstract
Background: It is uncertain how different academic medical departments differ in academic productivity as assessed by commonly used bibliometric measures, eg, the h-index (the maximum value of h such that an author has published h papers that have each been cited at least h times). Aim: This project examined whether departments in the University of Iowa’s Carver College of Medicine differed in h-indices of tenured faculty members. Methods: Based on 2020 data obtained from the College (and other University sources), the author compiled three data sets of Scopus h-indices of tenured faculty members identified by department, varying in size due to slightly different inclusion criteria (N’s=334, 341, and 354). Analyses compared h-indices between ranks and among departments. Results: In the basic data set (N=334), h-indices of the 230 (69%) full and 104 (31%) associate professors differed based on a t-test, means (standard deviations)=37 (17) and 20 (7), respectively, p
