Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the manuscript requirement policy on research publications from the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RTCOG) residency training program. Material and Method: Names and research titles of RTCOG residents from 1994 to 2003 were used to search for publications in the Medline system and Thai Index Medicus. Results: There were 759 residents with 188 (24.8%) articles published. The publications per year varied from 4.8% to 17.0%. Residents were the first authors of 75 articles (39.9%). One hundred and thirteen articles (60.11%) were published in local medical journals. The majority of articles published in international journals (65.3%) were published in the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand. After initiation of the publication promotion policy in 1999, the number of publications in which residents were not the first authors increased from 39.8% to 60.2%. Conclusion: The manuscript requirement policy can maintain the research publication rate.
