Summary
The Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) supports family medicine research by providing infrastructure and fostering author diversity. CERA publications show impact, but opportunities exist to expand their reach and data utilization.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Family Medicine Research
- Academic Medicine
Background:
- Family medicine research faces barriers like funding and mentorship shortages.
- The Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) was established in 2011 to overcome these challenges.
- This study assesses the scope and influence of CERA-related publications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of CERA-related publications.
- To evaluate the impact and scope of research supported by CERA.
- To identify trends in authorship, affiliations, and citation rates.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive bibliometric study was conducted from 2011 to 2023.
- Articles were retrieved from Medline (PubMed), SCOPUS, and the CERA website.
- Analysis included publication type, author demographics, survey types, and citation metrics.
Main Results:
- 174 articles were analyzed, predominantly original research (95.4%).
- The journal Family Medicine published most articles (69.4%).
- General membership surveys received the highest citations per publication (6.3); earlier publications (pre-2017) were cited more than recent ones (post-2017).
Conclusions:
- CERA serves as crucial infrastructure for family medicine research, promoting diverse authorship and institutional representation.
- CERA publications demonstrate impact within family medicine, with potential for broader reach.
- Sustained support and improved data utilization strategies are recommended for CERA's continued success.

02:46Chi-square Analysis
38.8K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

00:54Distribution and Dispersion
22.5K
To understand intra-specific interactions in populations, scientists measure the spatial arrangement of species individuals. This geographic arrangement is known as the species distribution or dispersion. Highly territorial species exhibit a uniform distribution pattern, in which individuals are spaced at relatively equal distances from one another. Species that are highly tied to particular resources, such as food or shelter, tend to concentrate around those resources, and thus exhibit a...

01:17Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient
1.0K
The extended Debye-Hückel equation indicates that the activity coefficient of an ion in an aqueous solution at 25°C depends on three partially interdependent properties: the ionic strength of the solution, the charge of the ion, and the ion size.
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a...

01:11Statistical Analysis: Overview
7.7K
When we take repeated measurements on the same or replicated samples, we will observe inconsistencies in the magnitude. These inconsistencies are called errors. To categorize and characterize these results and their errors, the researcher can use statistical analysis to determine the quality of the measurements and/or suitability of the methods.

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...
