“…Results show this had no influence on success. This is consistent with studies done for the orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology departments [6,8,17]. These studies likewise found that the mean H-index of NIH-funded faculty whose terminal degree was an MD (or MD equivalent) was not statistically different than colleagues with PhDs or both MD and PhD degrees.…”

“…A newer metric, H-index, was also included. This index is rapidly gaining acceptance among the academic medical community and has been associated with increased scholarly productivity and NIH funding in some medical fields such as ophthalmology and orthopedic surgery [8,17]. Results of this study showed that H-index is positively correlated with NIH funding, such that faculty members with higher H-index received higher NIH dollars.…”

“…This may be because females have lower scholarly impact during the earlier stages of their career, which may impede academic advancement early on. Although women surpass men in scholarly productivity later on in their careers, the initial effects of low productivity continue to hinder academic promotion [7,8]. Further, this suggests that productivity and experience of the investigator translates to more NIH funding.…”

“…Several studies have used NIH funding as a marker of success [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. NIH funding strengthens academic departments by allowing the department to invest funding into long-term development, hire extra faculty, and increase research productivity.…”

“…It is a matter of ethical conduct with respect to data fabrication, harassment, and the diversity of our disciplines. Traditionally underrepresented groups already face hardship when advocating for themselves for promotion and hiring [40][41][42], and to accept the status quo on this front is unethical of professional societies.…”

Academic, medical, and research communities are struggling to quickly and effectively address unethical conduct within their professional ranks. Without a policy in place, individuals and institutes are subject to convoluted procedures and unnecessary consequences. In addition to policies geared to prevent harassment and assault, it is important to protect the ethical basis for research and provide a set of guidelines for how professionals treat each other, students, and trainees. Since drafting a policy of this nature is complex, 10 guidelines are provided as a framework for how to draft, implement, and establish an ethical code of conduct. Further implications for nonprofit societies and professional societies in particular are discussed.

IMPORTANCE Despite equal numbers of men and women entering medical school, women are underrepresented in the upper echelons of academic medicine and receive less compensation and research funding. Citation-related publication productivity metrics, such as the h-index, are increasingly used for hiring, salary, grants, retention, promotion, and tenure decisions. Exploring sex differences in these metrics across academic medicine provides deeper insight into why differences are observed in career outcomes. OBJECTIVE To systematically examine the available literature on sex differences in h-index of academic faculty physicians across all medical specialties and all levels of academic rank.
