“…Successful journal clubs can produce academic communities with a multi‐directional flow of information and ideas. For junior participants, translating this information flow to measurable research output could foster future surgical innovation 7,8 . Similarly, the provision of effective education on EBS within meetings could enhance future EBS by attendees 8,9 .…”

“…Links with other programs that promote research, such as mentorship from senior staff, research institutions and academic research societies, should be solidified where possible. Attendee research output can be increased through this mechanism, and to monitor rate of growth a count of group publications and h‐indexes should be kept 7 . No single scientometric metric is perfect in provided an optimal representation of an individual's academic output, and all surgeons should be encouraged to have a strong academic interest.…”

“… 12 This low level of research productivity amongst experienced and well‐resourced members of the surgical community may not only indicate a lack of understanding of methods of publishing, but also a lack of desire to innovate. Young surgical researchers must be supported 7 so that potential advancements to clinical care are not lost. 8 …”

Food for IDEAL thought: redesigning junior journal clubs to enhance surgical innovation "Knowledge," in the sense of information, means the working capital, the indispensable resources, of further inquiry; of finding out, or learning, more things.John Dewey, Democracy and Education (1916). 1 Philosophy of evidence-based surgeryEvidence-based surgery (EBS) comprises continuous critical evaluation and proactive improvement of surgical care via the scientific method. Novel information must be sought and understood, and scientifically-validated methods of improving practice integrated safely. For individuals to practice EBS, they require knowledge of the underlying philosophy and the self-confidence and creativity to innovate reliably. 2 The stages in the development and assessment of surgical innovations are characterized in the descriptive model delineating stages of innovation, development, exploration, assessment and long-term study (the IDEAL model), developed by the Balliol Collaboration. 3 Effective EBS education should involve teaching students to critically appraise and use information to reliably think, learn and succeed independently 1 throughout their surgical careers. A scalable, low-cost model that teaches the underlying philosophy of EBS while increasing the research activity of junior participants may enhance the future practice of EBS. This article aims to introduce journal clubs as a means to promote EBS at this early stage.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) was first used in the 1970s. Its use is increasingly common in critical care and perioperative settings and has gained newfound prominence during COVID-19. To guide future research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of ECMO literature. Thomson Reuters Web of Science was searched to March 7, 2021. Articles were ranked by total number of citations. Data was extracted from the 100 most cited papers relevant to ECMO for study design, topic, author, year, and institution. Journal impact factor for 2019 and Eigenfactor scores were also recorded. Our search retrieved a total of 18,802 articles. Median number of citations for the top 100 articles was 220 (range 157–1,819). These were published in 34 journals, with first authors originating from 15 countries. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery had the highest number of articles (n = 9) while Lancet publications had the most citations (n = 3,191). Use of ECMO was most commonly observed in cardiogenic shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome. United States had the greatest article output (n = 49). With 10 publications, 2013 was the most prolific year. Using linear regression, when controlled for time since publication, there was no statistically significant relationship between 2019 journal impact factor and number of article citations (p = .09). Top articles in the ECMO literature are of considerable impact and quality. As the United States produced the bulk of the prominent evidence base, and most data were regarding respiratory issues, outsized advances in ECMO may be possible within the United States during the COVID-19 era.
