Authorship on Christmas-themed medical articles did not harm scientific careers. First authors published more, but this effect was linked to sex and age, not the Christmas theme itself.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Bibliometrics
  • Scientific Career Development

Context:

  • Christmas-themed scientific articles are gaining popularity.
  • Concerns exist regarding their impact on researchers' careers and productivity.
  • This study investigates the bibliometric outcomes of authors publishing such articles.

Purpose:

  • To determine if authoring Christmas-themed medical papers negatively affects scientific careers.
  • To analyze the impact on publication rates and other bibliometric indicators.

Summary:

  • Authors of Christmas-themed papers were compared to those publishing "serious" research.
  • First authors of Christmas papers showed a higher publication rate ratio (PRR) of 3.8 (unadjusted).
  • Last authors had a PRR of 0.6 (unadjusted).

  • Adjusted analyses revealed these associations were not statistically significant, suggesting influence from sex and age.

    • Impact:

    • First authors publishing Christmas-themed articles may publish more subsequently, though causality is uncertain.
    • The findings suggest that Christmas-themed publications do not necessarily damage scientific careers.
    • Further research, potentially randomized controlled trials, is needed to confirm causality.
