Characteristics and trends in publication of scientific papers presented at the European Congress of Radiology: a comparison between 2000 and 2010

Abstract

ObjectiveTo determine journal publication rates of scientific papers presented orally at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2010, with comparison of country data to ECR 2000.MethodsAll oral presentations from ECR 2010 were evaluated for publication between 2010 and 2014 using the MEDLINE database. Countries, collaborations, subspecialties, modalities and study design were ranked by publication percentage. Chi-square tests were used to compare publication percentages for each category of variables. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated for each country relative to the host nation, Austria. ECR 2010 country statistics were compared with analogous data from ECR 2000.ResultsIn total, 360/840 abstracts were subsequently published (43 %). The author’s country of origin (p = 0.02), subspecialty (p = 0.02) and study design (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with subsequent publication. Switzerland, the Netherlands, France and Germany were among the top six countries by publication percentage in 2000 and 2010. In 2010, Switzerland had the highest publication rate (62 %) and HR in comparison to Austria (HR 2.62 [1.31–5.25], p = 0.01). Three Asian nations increased relative publication rates over the 10-year period.ConclusionSeveral European nations consistently convert relatively high percentages of oral abstracts at ECR into publications, and the influence of Asian countries is increasing.Main Messages• Certain European nations consistently publish high percentages of orally presented abstracts at ECR.• The influence of several Asian countries on ECR is increasing.• Country, subspecialty and study design are significantly associated with journal publication.• Authors collaborating internationally have the highest publication rates and mean impact factors.• Among all modalities, PET-CT, MRI and CT have the highest publication percentages.

The Impact of Non-Brazilian Contribution on the Publishing Performance of Psychology Journals in Brazil

“…Within non-Brazilian contributions, our findings brought hypothesized results. Consistent with Hypothesis 6, as well as recent research ( Loughborough et al, 2016 ), is the finding of a lower prevalence of non-Brazilian Ibero-American contributions among the internationally published journals in the sample. And consistent with Hypothesis 7, as well as recent research ( Loughborough et al, 2016 ; González-Álvarez and Cervera-Crespo, 2017 ), is the finding of a higher prevalence of non-Brazilian lingua franca contributions among the internationally published journals in the sample.…”

“…Consistent with Hypothesis 6, as well as recent research ( Loughborough et al, 2016 ), is the finding of a lower prevalence of non-Brazilian Ibero-American contributions among the internationally published journals in the sample. And consistent with Hypothesis 7, as well as recent research ( Loughborough et al, 2016 ; González-Álvarez and Cervera-Crespo, 2017 ), is the finding of a higher prevalence of non-Brazilian lingua franca contributions among the internationally published journals in the sample. These last two findings highlight two points that serve as bookends: (1) there is a positive relationship between the publishing of material from non-Brazilian lingua franca countries and higher journal/publishing performance; and (2) there is a negative relationship between the publishing of material from non-Brazilian Ibero-American countries and higher journal/publishing performance.…”

Analysis of recent Australasian Sonographers Association (ASA) conference abstracts: How many progress to publication?

“…While this study included all full abstracts in the analysis of conference abstract to publication rate, several studies have excluded posters, letters, reviews, editorials, case reports or didactic presentations. 16,19,21,[26][27][28]34 These exclusions may contribute to a higher conference abstract to publication rate. For example, Shergill reported 145 posters were excluded from total of 566 abstracts (25.6%).…”

“…These rates vary from 9% to 51.8% at national or international conferences. [15][16][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] To date, the only dedicated sonography conference with a documented conference abstract to publication rate is the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) annual meeting (22.8%). 29 To the author's knowledge, this will be the first study investigating the abstract to publication rates of sonography conferences in Australasia.…”

Presentation of Original Research at the European Congress of Radiology 2010: Frequency of Publication in Medline-Indexed Journals Within 5 Years After Presentation

“…In 2010, this congress included more than 19 000 delegates from 96 countries, with nearly 12 000 professional medical delegates among them [7]. A preliminary study published by Loughborough et al evaluated selected data from scientific presentations at ECR 2010 in a follow-up of 4 years, 9 months [8].…”
