h-index for 1922 MD, MD/DO, or MD/DO + PhD faculty at 124 academic urology institutions as reported by Scopus (Elsevier BV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). The career duration was calculated as the number of years from first reported publication to 2016. m-quotient was calculated by dividing the h-index by the career duration. Whether or not the faculty member had a PhD was determined from departmental and individual physician website. NIH funding was determined using the NIH research portfolio Online Reporting Tools (RePORTER) website.
p < 0.05 for comparison of men versus women for that same column.
