We evaluated long-term publication outcomes of a workshop on planning and writing a research article attended by medical professionals. A prospective cohort study included 243 participants (68 men and 175 women) attending 18-h workshops on research planning and writing and 243 controls (78 men and 165 women) identified by participants as their professional peers. A total of 17 workshops was organized by the editors of the Croatian Medical Journal, Zagreb, Croatia, from 2003 to 2011. We measured the number of publications, citations and H-indices in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from the time of each workshop to the end of 2017. While workshop participants and their controls had similar publication output before the workshops, workshop participants published significantly more scientific articles and had higher citation rates and H-index after the workshops. For the subgroup of authors who were all followed up for 11 years (n = 398), the increase in the number of articles became apparent in the third post-workshop year, and levelled out after the eighth post-workshop year. Workshop attendance proved to be a significant predictor of post-workshop publishing even when controlled for age, gender, and previous publications (OR = 3.547, CI = 2.320–5.423, p < 0.001), indicating that short-term workshops on planning and writing research may be an important tool to increase long-term scientific productivity of medical professionals.

为期 2 天的医学专业人员出版产出规划和写作研究培训的长期结果：11 年队列研究

我们评估了由医学专业人士参加的关于规划和撰写研究文章的研讨会的长期出版成果。一项前瞻性队列研究包括参加 18 小时研究计划和写作研讨会的 243 名参与者（68 名男性和 175 名女性）和 243 名对照（78 名男性和 165 名女性）被参与者确定为他们的专业同行。克罗地亚医学杂志的编辑共组织了 17 个研讨会，克罗地亚萨格勒布，从 2003 年到 2011 年。我们测量了从每个研讨会开始到 2017 年底 Web of Science 和 Scopus 数据库中的出版物、引用和 H 指数的数量。虽然研讨会参与者和他们的控制有相似的研讨会前的发表产出，研讨会参与者发表了更多的科学文章，并在研讨会后获得了更高的引用率和 H 指数。对于所有随访 11 年的作者亚组 ( n = 398），文章数量的增加在研讨会后的第三年变得明显，并在研讨会后的第八年趋于平稳。即使在控制年龄、性别和以前发表的文章（OR = 3.547，CI = 2.320–5.423，p  < 0.001）的情况下，研讨会出席率也被证明是研讨会后出版的重要预测因素，这表明关于计划和写作的短期研讨会研究可能是提高医疗专业人员长期科学生产力的重要工具。
