Objectives. - Analyze the results of the bibliometric system and analysis of scientific publications (SIGAPS) in the Assistance publique-Hopitaux de Paris (AP-HP) and compare the scientific production among the various surgical disciplines of the academic hospitals of Paris and define the place of urology.
Methods. - The publications from 115 surgical departments between 2006 and 2008 were included. Only surgical departments were considered in the current study. The following data were taken into account: the hospital department of origin, the number of articles published, the number of first place, last places, the number of full-time unit, the SIGAPS score. Statistical analysis focused on the quality and on the quantity of published articles per surgeons and per department. There were eight academic departments of urology identified within the AP-HP.
Results. - The database contained information for 115 surgical departments. The mean number of articles published by department was 42.89 +/- 27.34 (13.2 to 110.75). The mean number of publications per full-time surgeon was 6.7 +/- 2.59 (3.77 to 12.84), or a mean of 2.25 +/- 0.86 released by full-time and by year. The median score SIGAPS of surgery was 304 with a wide interval (122 to 903.5). Urology was the specialty with the highest median score compared to other surgical specialties. The department, which published the most, was the center 1, in comparison with the center 6 which was publishing the most in A/B ranking journals.
Conclusion. - Urology was the absolute leader by far in terms of scientific publications in the AP-HP when compared to other surgical disciplines. The discipline is organized efficiently to juggle clinical work and research indicating a certain dynamism of the teams that invest there to fulfill the missions assigned to them in the University Hospital and the part of the autonomy of the universities.
