Abstract
Introduction and objectives

The writing of a thesis has 2 main objectives: the appropriate training to be a good researcher and the publication of the first original research work. This study attempted to check this statement applied to theses in Otolaryngology by analysing the variation in the authors’ publications.

Material and methods

We used the database TESEO to obtain the data relative to Otolaryngology theses in Spain published between 1993 and 2003. We found the publications of each author by using de program “Publish or Perish” and we analysed the variations in their work in 3 periods (prior to, around, and after thesis publication).

Results

The publications, the citations, and the parameters analysed all increased in the second and third periods (around and after) with regard to the first period. However, there were no significant differences in some of them in the first 2 periods.

Conclusions

The elaboration of a thesis in Otolaryngology increased the scientific production of its author. Almost a third of the authors did not publish any work. There was a significant increase in all the parameters studied and the bibliometric indices between the period before thesis publication and the around and after thesis periods.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

La elaboración de una tesis doctoral tiene dos fines principales: la formación adecuada para ser un buen investigador y la publicación de los primeros trabajos originales de investigación. Este trabajo va a intentar comprobar dicha afirmación aplicada a las tesis en Otorrinolaringología analizando las variaciones en las publicaciones de sus autores.

Material y métodos

Se obtuvieron mediante la base de datos TESEO los datos relativos a las tesis publicadas en Otorrinolaringología en España de 1993-2003. Mediante el programa Publish or Perish se averiguaron las publicaciones de cada autor y se analizaron sus variaciones en tres periodos (previo, en torno y posterior a la tesis).

Resultados

Tanto las publicaciones como las citaciones como los parámetros analizados aumentan en los periodos posterior y en torno con respecto al previo, no habiendo en algunos de ellos diferencias significativas entre los dos primeros periodos.

Conclusiones

La realización de la tesis doctoral en Otorrinolaringología hace que la producción científica de su autor aumente. Alrededor de un tercio de los autores no elabora ninguna publicación. Existe un aumento significativo en todos los parámetros estudiados y en los índices bibliométricos entre el periodo previo y el periodo en torno y posterior.
