WT - DergiPark SN - 2149-8296 SP - 256 EP - 263 VL - 15 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Aim - The study aims to summarize the gender distribution in academic radiology departments in Turkey and analyze the relationships between gender and academic rank, research productivity, and leadership positions.Methods – In this cross-sectional study, the Council of Higher Education academic search database was used to identify academic radiologists in Turkey. Each radiologist’s gender, academic rank, years of active research, and research productivity metrics (number of publications and citations, h-index) were recorded from the Scopus database. An Internet search was conducted to identify the leadership positions of academic radiology departments and radiology societies. Results – Overall, 653 academics (professor n=292; associate professors n=211; assistant professors n=150) were identified from the database; 642 academics with reliable research productivity parameters were enrolled in the study. There were fewer female academics (n=245) than male peers (χ2 =35.988, p KW - Gender KW - Radiology KW - Academic Rank KW - Leadership KW - Disparity N2 - Amaç- Çalışma, Türkiye'deki akademik radyoloji bölümlerinde cinsiyet dağılımını özetlemeyi ve cinsiyet ile akademik derece, araştırma verimliliği ve liderlik pozisyonları arasındaki ilişkileri analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntemler- Bu kesitsel çalışmada, Türkiye'deki akademik radyologları belirlemek için Yükseköğretim Kurulu akademik araştırma veri tabanı kullanılarak veritabanında yer alan her radyoloğun cinsiyeti, akademik derecesi, aktif araştırma yılı ve araştırma üretkenliği parametreleri (yayın ve alıntı sayısı, h-indeksi) Scopus veri tabanından kaydedildi. Akademik radyoloji bölümlerinin ve radyoloji topluluklarının liderlik pozisyonlarını belirlemek için internet araştırması yapıldı.Bulgular- Toplamda 653 akademisyen (profesör n=292; doçent n=211; doktor öğretim üyesi n=150) veri tabanından belirlendi. Araştırma verimliliği parametrelerine güvenilir bir şekilde erişilebilen 642 akademisyen çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kadın akademisyenlerin sayısı (n=245) erkeklere göre daha azdı (χ2 =35,988, p CR - Kuzuca IG, Arda B. What can we say about gender discrimination in medicine? A limited research from Turkey.
