Paucity of Research Articles on Psychiatric Education: Hypothesis Not Confirmed
Abstract
Key Words: Editorial Research Psychiatric Education In the halls of national meetings where psychiatric educators gather, there has been grumbling for some years now about the paucity of articles on psychiatric education published in psychiatry's premier journal, the American Journal of Psychiatry. Many of our colleagues have speculated that the advent of a new editor of that journal, whose career has been more focused on scientific research than her predecessor's, was responsible for this perceived change. These perceptions piqued our own scientific curiosity. Accordingly, we undertook a small study. Our hypothesis was that there would be a statistically significant difference between education-related articles published under the stewardship of the previous editor than under the current one. We counted the number of articles indexed under "education, psychiatric," "education, medical student," or "academic psychiatry" (eliminating duplications) each year in the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP) since the change in editorship, and for an equal number of years prior to the change. Table 1 shows the results. We found our hypothesis was not supported by the data. So much for the validity of educators' (including our own) perceptions. But we did not allow the question to die there. InspectionPreview Only. This article cannot be rented because we do not currently have permission from the publisher.
