  • Descrição: Objectives The Hirsch Index ( h -index) is often used to assess research impact, and on average a social science senior lecturer will have an h -index of 2.29, yet its validity within the context of UK General Surgery (GS) is unknown. The aim of this study was to calculate the h -indices of a cohort of GS consultants in a UK Deanery to assess its relative validity. Design Individual h -indices and total publication (TP) counts were obtained for GS consultants via the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) Internet search engines. Assessment of construct validity and reliability of these 2 measures of the h -index was undertaken. Setting All hospitals in a single UK National Health Service Deanery were included (14 general hospitals). Participants All 136 GS consultants from the Deanery were included. Results Median h -index (Scopus) was 5 (0-52) and TP 15 (0-369), and strong correlation was found between h -index and TP ( ρ = 0.932, p < 0.001), with the intraclass correlation between Scopus and WoS h -index also significant (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.973 [95% CI: 0.962-0.981], p < 0.001). Academic GS consultants had higher h -indices than nonacademic University Hospital and District General Hospital consultants (Scopus 12 vs 7 vs 4 [p < 0.001] and WoS 10.5 vs 7 vs 4 [p < 0.001]). h -Index was >2.29 in 57.4% of consultants. No subspecialty differences were apparent in median h -indices (p = 0.792) and TP (p = 0.903). Conclusions h -Index is a valid GS research productivity metric with over half of consultants performing at levels equivalent to social science Senior Lecturers.
