The Impact of Women-Led Academic Collaborations in Plastic Surgery
We demonstrate the nuanced effect of collaboration on research productivity for female authors in plastic surgery. In particular, female plastic surgery senior authorship and overall collaboration coincides with the gender proportions in the field. Furthermore, female senior authors in plastic surgery published in significantly higher IF journals. Lastly, our work implies that female in-group networks of academic collaborations may serve a vital role in the professional connections for women in the predominately male field of plastic surgery. Future studies may compare these data to the plastic surgery articles published in earlier years.
