Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the number of articles in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS) written by consultants and
trainees within deaneries in the UK. We reviewed the authorship of articles published between January 2010 and July 2011, and subdivided
them by deanery and first author. In total, 76 full length articles were published (30 written by consultants and 46 by trainees), and half came
from the London, Wessex, and Mersey deaneries. Technical notes were mostly written by trainees; 5 of the 22 published came from London.
A total of 38 short communications were published; most were from the Wessex (21%), Yorkshire and Humber (29%), and Mersey (13%)
deaneries, and in 32% a consultant was first author. A league table of all publications showed that most came from Wessex (n = 25), Mersey
(n = 23), and Yorkshire and Humber (n = 23). Most publications by trainees came from Wessex (n = 20), followed by Yorkshire (n = 18) and
London (n = 11). The study shows that the amount of published material varies considerably between oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)
units in the UK. To realise their ambitions, potential trainees with an interest in research and publications may consequently find the best
support in these deaneries.

Introduction
The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
(BJOMS) publishes review papers, full length articles, short
communications, technical notes, and letters, and is probably
the most widely read journal by British oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS). Its impact factor rose in 2010 to
1.89 making it 58th out of 187 journals of surgery, and 21st
out of 74 journals of dentistry, oral surgery, and medicine. A

recent series of review articles has highlighted the pattern of

research and publishing activity within the journal.15
During training, many oral and maxillofacial trainees publish research and clinical articles in the journal. For some,
having papers published is necessary for success in the annual
review of competence progression (ARCP) or record of intraining assessment (RITA). However, it is not currently
mandatory, and the Specialist Advisory Committee (SAC)
in OMFS has yet to decide whether trainees must produce
a certain number of papers or presentations by the end of
training.
In contrast, some trainees are discouraged from doing
periods of research during surgical training (either within

or outside the programme) and from publishing clinical or

research work. While many spend time outside the programme on approved clinical training attachments, only a
handful do research, and the reasons for this are not clear.
Many trainers consider research to be another unnecessary
hurdle that distracts the trainee from operative surgery, and
since many trainers were not required to do research and
publish during their own training, there is little appreciation of why it should be done today. In other surgical
specialties, publishing has become more accepted and is an
expectation of successful training. Historically, some specialties (such as general surgery) required the attainment of
a higher degree, but in OMFS there is still a long way to
go before research and publishing become routine. Either
way, the critical appraisal of scientific publications and reasoning in clinical practice are key skills that all clinicians
need to acquire in the age of evidence-based medicine and
surgery.
The Joint Committee on Specialist Training states: MMC
trainees are not allowed to have research counted towards
CCT because it is not part of the new surgical curricula and is not a competence they need to gain to become
a consultant in the UK the exception to this rule is
Trauma and Orthopedics trainees and Academic Clinical Fellows (ACFs) who can have the time they spend
undertaking academic work counted towards CCT.6 Previously however, Calman trainees were able, with appropriate
approval, to count a year of research towards their specialist
training.
With the advent of training programmes that include
research and study in the timetable, trainees who have not
had papers published and cannot show evidence of research
might be disadvantaged when they apply for specialty training and consultant posts.79 For most trainees, BJOMS is the
first choice journal for publication for several reasons, which
include familiarity and the recent increase in impact factor
and profile.
We aimed to assess academic activity in OMFS in the
UK, with a view to informing potential trainees and those
looking for academic fellowship appointments about units
that actively promote the academic and research components
of surgical training.
Method
We assessed the authorship of the full length articles in
BJOMS by hand searching the journals published between
April 2006 and July 2011. The geographical location of the
publishing unit was taken to be the workplace of the first
author at the time of publication and was categorised by
deanery.
A second search was done to look at all non-commissioned
articles published from January 2010 to July 2011, again subdivided by deanery and first author. They included full length
papers, short communications, and technical notes. Articles

were excluded if the first author came from outside the UK

as it was not always clear where the work had been done.
Results
Deaneries that currently exist in the UK include the Defence
Postgraduate Medical Deanery; East of England MultiProfessional Deanery; London Deanery; Northern Deanery;
Oxford Deanery; South West Peninsula Deanery; NHS
West Midlands Workforce Deanery; East Midlands Healthcare Deanery; Kent, Surrey, and Sussex Deanery; Mersey
Deanery; North Western Deanery; Severn Deanery; Wessex
Deanery; Yorkshire and Humber Deanery; and the Northern
Ireland Deanery.
We were not able to ascertain which trainees were registered in the Defence Postgraduate Medical Deanery so
publications for this deanery were grouped with results from
the training unit of the Defence trainee.
In total, discounting BAOMS abstract supplements, 40
issues of BJOMS were published between April 2006 and
July 2011 comprising a total of 200 full length articles from
units within the UK. Table 1 shows the numbers of full length
articles published by deanery in that period. Almost half came
from the London, Wessex, and Mersey deaneries, and many
of the papers from these centres had the same first authors.
The second search included identification of all noncommissioned articles in BJOMS from January 2010 to July
2011. In total, 76 full length articles were published from
units within the UK.1085 Of these, 30 had a consultant as first
author, and a trainee was the first author in 46. The authors
of over half the full length articles were from the London,
Wessex, and Mersey deaneries.
Table 2 shows the number of full length articles by consultants and trainees subdivided by deanery over the 18-month
period. In the Scotland, Mersey, London, and Severn deaneries over 60% of the publications had a consultant as first
author, but in the Northern, Oxford, West Midlands, and

Yorkshire deaneries all full length articles had a trainee as

first author.
Twenty-two technical notes met our inclusion criteria for
UK publications from within the specialty (Table 3).86107
Five of them came from the London deanery and all had a
trainee as first author. Five deaneries produced no technical notes that met the inclusion criteria (Oxford, Northern
Ireland, East of England, Mersey, and Northern) and most
produced one or two over the study period. Overall, 17 technical notes were published with a trainee as first author.
Table 4 shows a similar breakdown for short
communications.104,108144 Most came from the Wessex, Yorkshire and Humber, and Mersey deaneries. Only
32% had a consultant as first author.
Table 5 is a league table by deanery for collective publications of full length articles, short communications, and
technical notes. Of the 136 articles in the study, 48 were written by consultants and 88 by trainees. The largest number of
publications came from the Wessex, Mersey, and Yorkshire
and Humber deaneries, and the greatest number by trainees
came from Wessex, followed by Yorkshire and Humber, and
London.
Discussion
This study does not attempt to reflect all publishing of work
within UK oral and maxillofacial units; it merely represents
publications in our journal. Most OMFS units that are actively
involved in research will also publish in other scientific journals. Indeed, one potential failing of this study is that high
quality research, particularly basic scientific work, will probably be published in higher impact journals, both in clinical

(such as Head and Neck, and Oral Oncology) and pure science journals. This may be because they are more specific to
the type of research, or the quality of the work merits a higher
profile journal. However, BJOMS is probably the most commonly read journal amongst OMFS trainees and consultants,
and consequently is a logical choice for publication and to
get oneself known by ones peers.
This study has shown overall that there is considerable
variation in publishing practice within UK oral and maxillofacial units. A relatively small number of units seem to be
producing most of the publications on behalf of the specialty,
and from our study it seems that trainees are well supported
in their aspirations to contribute to this process. In general
we found that trainees were first authors of more papers in
BJOMS than consultants, which may reflect changing practice now that trainees in some regions are now required
to publish research and clinical work for ARCP and RITA
assessments.
Based on our results it seems that trainees tend to prefer to
write shorter articles; 77% of technical notes and 65% of short
communications had trainees as first authors, but a trainee was
first author in only 61% of full length articles. This may reflect
the fact that large numbers of audits are being submitted as
short communications, or that shorter papers are perceived as
being easier to produce and write up than full length articles.
Full length articles often include data derived from research
projects that require funding, ethical approval, and numerous
other obstacles for which trainees may not have the necessary
time, ability, or support. Several of the full length articles by
trainees were written by the same people and of these, many
were in grant-funded MD and PhD programmes and were
supported by OMFS consultants with an academic interest.
The future of the specialty is in the hands of the current
generation of registrars and young consultants, and unless
trainees are encouraged to produce high quality research
and publish papers, progress in the specialty is in danger
of slowing or coming to a halt. Interestingly, in most issues
of BJOMS from January 2010 to July 2011, around half the
full length articles were from units outside the UK, and they
came from countries including China, Japan, Netherlands,
Germany, Israel, France, Greece, and Switzerland. Contributions to the journal from other countries provide readers
with an insight into OMFS practice elsewhere in the world,
but in reality, our view is that the UK should produce more
high quality research to support the specialty in the coming
years.
