Research and scholarship among R.T. educators.
Full-time registered radiologic technologist educators were surveyed to determine their professional profile and research/scholarship productivity. Overall, research and scholarship productivity was low. More than 85% of respondents had not authored an article in a peer or nonpeer-reviewed journal, although more than half of the sample reported other scholarly activities, such as reviewing books, developing continuing education material and presenting at professional meetings. As a group, full-time educators employed in 4-year institutions and holding a higher academic degree were more productive in research and scholarship.
