Urology Scholars

Who is included, and what the numbers mean

• U.S. training programs only. Urology Scholars covers faculty of urology residency and fellowship programs in the United States and Puerto Rico. Programs outside the United States are not included yet; we may add them in the future.
• Residency and fellowship faculty. The list covers urologists named as faculty on the websites of US urology residency programs and their fellowships, plus centers that train fellows but have no residency (such as MD Anderson, Memorial Sloan Kettering and practice-based fellowships). The editors have added a few practice-based urologists with large research records. Other urologists outside training programs are not included, and neither are retired urologists.
• PubMed counts. Each count is the papers on that person's Core Faculty page: PubMed records matched by author name and a urology affiliation. For common names, only papers that list the person's institution are counted, so some papers may be missed.
• Older papers. PubMed lists full author first names only from about 2002, so earlier work can be undercounted for faculty whose initials are shared with other authors.
• Fields. Papers are sorted into fields by words in their titles. Each paper counts in one field only, and papers that fit no field count toward the overall total alone.
• Not a measure of impact. These are paper counts, not citations or quality, and errors in name matching are possible.
