ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The purpose of the study was to compare the scientific output of professors and doctors habilitatus of two schools of medicine of the Medical University of Silesia.
Material and methods:
Data of scientific output (full text papers from the Web of Science and Scopus) of scientists from the School of Medicine in Zabrze (October 2015) and Katowice (October 2016) were presented.
Results:
The mean scientist’s age, the mean age of obtaining a PhD, the age of obtained habilitation degree, the age of professorship, the interval from PhD to habilitation and the interval from habilitation to professorship did not differ between the schools of medicine. The scientific output established as the total number of publications differed significantly and was 144.6 ± 124.2 for the School of Medicine in Zabrze and 260.6 ± 227 in the School of Medicine in Katowice (p < 0.0001). Other factors indicating scientific output, such as the number of publications with an Impact Factor, the total Impact Factor, the citation index according to Web of Science or Scopus with and without citations of all co-authors and the h-index according to the Web of Science or Scopus did not differ.
Conclusions:
The scientific output of the two schools of medicine does not differ except the total number of publications.
