Response to: “Some weighing of publication rates should be used to more fairly reflect the productivity of trainees. Response to Variation in UK Deanery publication rates in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: where are the current 'hot spots'?

Thank you for your comments on our paper, as you rightly say (and this was also a feature of the original article In 20122) it would be useful to evaluate publication rates to BJOMS against number of trainees per deanery or percentage of trainees in each deanery. Such metrics may as a mathematical exercise give a more accurate representation of where trainees are being supported to write papers and engage in research or evidence based medicine. We shouldn ’t forget however, that some trainees will submit papers to International and non specialty.
