Faculty publications in optometry were analyzed, revealing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Optometry Service and select universities as leading producers. Publication rates correlated with National Eye Institute (NEI) funding and other institutional factors.

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Academic Research
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Faculty publications are a key metric for academic and research productivity in optometry.
  • Understanding factors influencing publication rates can inform institutional development and research strategies.
  • The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Optometry Service represents a significant clinical and research entity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare faculty publication production between U.S. schools and colleges of optometry and the VA Optometry Service.
  • To examine the relationship between publication rates and institutional characteristics such as National Eye Institute (NEI) funding, student/faculty ratios, faculty salaries, and graduate program presence.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of publication output from academic institutions and the VA Optometry Service.

  • Categorization of institutions into publication production tiers (high, middle, low).
  • Correlation analysis with institutional metrics including NEI funding, student/faculty ratios, salaries, and graduate programs.

    • Main Results:

    • Institutions were grouped into three publication production levels: five high-ranking, four middle-ranking, and eight lower-ranking.
    • The top five publication producers from 1982-1991 included UC Berkeley, University of Alabama, University of Houston, VA Optometry Service, and SUNY.
    • VA optometrists led in authorship in the Journal of the American Optometric Association since 1982 and as continuing education lecturers since 1985.

    Conclusions:

    • The Department of Veterans Affairs Optometry Service demonstrates high productivity in scholarly publications and continuing education.
    • Publication output in optometry is influenced by factors such as research funding and institutional resources.
    • Further investigation into the factors driving high publication rates can benefit optometric education and research.
