Abstract
Aim - The study aims to summarize the gender distribution in academic radiology departments in Turkey and analyze the relationships between gender and academic rank, research productivity, and leadership positions.
Methods – In this cross-sectional study, the Council of Higher Education academic search database was used to identify academic radiologists in Turkey. Each radiologist’s gender, academic rank, years of active research, and research productivity metrics (number of publications and citations, h-index) were recorded from the Scopus database. An Internet search was conducted to identify the leadership positions of academic radiology departments and radiology societies.
Results – Overall, 653 academics (professor n=292; associate professors n=211; assistant professors n=150) were identified from the database; 642 academics with reliable research productivity parameters were enrolled in the study. There were fewer female academics (n=245) than male peers (χ2 =35.988, p
