The Relationship Between Pre-residency Peer Reviewed Publications and Subsequent Citation-Based Scholarly Activity of United States Radiation Oncology Residents

Radiation oncology residents with at least one pre-residency peer-reviewed publication (PRP) are significantly more likely than those with no PRP to have higher h-index scores, as well as higher scores stratified by first and/or second authorship. More than 30% of graduates without PRP did not publish any cited manuscripts. These results allow for potential predictive evaluation of resident productivity during the radiation oncology residency applicancy process, and have potential utility in predicting career choices post-residency.
