Tracking Henry Ford Health System Authors

The Henry Ford Health System has a strong tradition of research and scholarly activity, and one of Sladen Library’s tasks is to track the publications of its physicians, researchers and employees.

In 2008, Henry Ford authors published 461 articles, abstracts, chapters and books. The most prolific departments, with more than 30 publications each were: Neurology (59), Hypertension and Vascular Research (34), Surgery (35), Cardiology (33) and Radiation Oncology (31). The top journals for publication were: AJP – Heart and Circulatory Physiology (9 articles), Annals of Behavioral Medicine (8 articles and abstracts), International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics (17 abstracts and articles), Hypertension (8 articles), Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (7 articles), Journal of Urology (7 articles) and Stroke (7 articles).

Sladen compiles a monthly list of new publications by searching PubMed and Web of Science. While this strategy works well for locating articles and published abstracts, it does not locate books and chapters. If you are an HFHS author and have recently published a book or chapter, please submit complete bibliographic information to Valerie Reid. We will be happy to add your work to the next monthly list. Contact Valerie, also, if you’d like to receive the monthly list of publications by email. It’s a great way to keep up with your colleagues’ work. Past lists are available here on the Sladen Library web site. Check out the “Recent HFHS Authors” section of the main Sladen Library web site. It’s a continually updated feed of the most recent additions to PubMed.
