Drivers of Research Productivity in Australian Surgical Departments: A Cross‐Sectional Multivariable Analysis of a Single Tertiary Centre
This study highlights HDR training as the most consistent predictor of surgical research productivity across multiple metrics across surgical departments in a tertiary Australian hospital. International collaboration emerges as an additional significant driver of research impact, as measured by h-index. These findings provide evidence to support institutional investments in HDR training pathways and international collaborative networks as strategic approaches to enhance research culture and productivity in Australian surgical departments.
