    Dental faculty research productivity is linked to specific characteristics. Interest in research, advanced degrees (Ph.D.), journal subscriptions, and dedicated research time significantly predict publication output.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental education research
    • Academic faculty productivity

    Background:

    • Identifying factors influencing faculty research is crucial for academic institutions.
    • Understanding research productivity drivers can inform faculty development and resource allocation in dental schools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the key characteristics associated with active research producers among dental school faculty.
    • To quantify the predictive power of faculty attributes on research output.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to 4,901 full-time faculty members across 53 U.S. dental schools.
    • 1,481 surveys (31% response rate) were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression.
    • Faculty Research Productivity (FRP) was defined as the total number of publications in an academic career.

    Main Results:

    • Five variables significantly predicted 38% of the variance in FRP: Interest in Research, Earned Ph.D., Number of Journal Subscriptions, Consulting Time Per Week, and Research Time Per Week.
    • A linear inverse relationship was observed between FRP and student contact time.
    • Time spent in teaching per week did not emerge as a significant predictor of FRP.

    Conclusions:

    • Faculty interest in research, advanced doctoral degrees, access to journals, and allocated research time are primary determinants of publication output in dental schools.
    • Reducing student contact time may be necessary to enhance faculty research productivity.
    • Further investigation into the nuances of faculty engagement in research is warranted.
