“…The reason could be that, in computer science, a significant number of journals are published by resourceful international associations. A study by Jamorabo et al (2021) of a sample of gastroenterology journals found no association between APCs and higher impact (or faster processing times).…”

Some open access (OA) publishers charge authors fees to make their articles freely available online. This paper reviews literature on article processing charges (APCs) that has been published since 2000. Despite praise for diamond OA journals, which charge no fees, most OA articles are published by commercial publishers that charge APCs. Publishers fix APCs depending on the reputation assigned to journals by peers. Evidence shows a relationship between high impact metrics and higher, faster rising APCs.Authors express reluctance about APCs, although this varies by discipline depending on previous experience of paying publication fees and the availability of research grants to cover them. Authors rely on a mix of research grants, library funds and personal assets to pay the charges. Two major concerns have been raised in relation to APCs: the inability of poorly funded authors to publish research and their impact on journal quality. Waivers have not solved the first issue. Research shows little extension of waiver use, unintended side effects on co-author networks and concerns regarding criteria to qualify for them. Bibliometric studies concur that journals that charge APCs have a similar citation impact to journals that rely on other income sources.

“…A systematic review describes lack of resources, publication not being an author’s goal, low priority, incomplete study, and problems with co-authors as major factors. However, lack of time was the most frequently reported and most important reason for not publishing abstracts as full manuscripts 42 , 47 . We did not interview the abstract’s authors, so we have no information regarding the reasons for the low conversion rate.…”

“…Its publication fee is currently subsidized by the society, making it an attractive factor in choosing the journal. Previous research has shown that the cost of publication is a barrier to not going ahead with research [39][40][41][42] . Previous investigations have also highlighted that abstracts presented at events organized by scientific societies have preferably been submitted for publication in their official journals 7,18,19 .…”

Introduction: the presentation of research at a congress is an interesting means for scientific dissemination, but only with publication in an indexed journal does the data become accessible and disseminated. The conversion rate in published articles of abstracts presented at congresses is an indicator to assess the scientific quality of those events. The aim of this study is to evaluate bibliometric characteristics of abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congress of Coloproctology and to determine the factors that affect publication rates. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of all abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congresses of Coloproctology from 2015 to 2019. Multiple databases were analyzed to estimate the conversion rate of the presented papers, as well as variables associated with the conversion of abstracts into full manuscripts through bivariate analysis and multivariate variables of these predictors. Results: 1756 abstracts were analyzed. Most studies are retrospective, series or case reports, and even personal experience. The conversion rate was 6.9%. The presence of statistical analysis was twice as high for published abstracts as for unpublished ones. Conclusion: the data presented demonstrate a low scientific productivity of the specialty, since the research carried out is, for the most part, not published as complete manuscripts. The predictors of publication of abstracts were: multicenter studies, studies with statistical analysis, study designs with a higher level of evidence and studies awarded by the congress.

“…Em nosso estudo, 35,5% das publicações ocorreram em revistas internacionais e a revista da própria SBCP recebeu 42,9% das publicações no período, sendo que a sua taxa de publicação é subsidiada pela sociedade, tornando-se, hoje, um atrativo importante de escolha do periódico. Pesquisas anteriores demonstraram que o custo de publicação é uma barreira para não seguir adiante com eventuais pesquisas [39][40][41][42] . Sobretudo, investigações prévias também destacaram que os resumos apresentados em eventos organizados pelas sociedades científicas têm sido preferencialmente submetidos a publicação nos seus jornais oficiais 7,18,19 43 .…”

“…Uma revisão sistemática descreve falta de recursos, publicação não ser um objetivo do autor, baixa prioridade, estudo incompleto e problemas com co-autores como fatores principais. Entretanto, a falta de tempo foi a razão relatada com mais frequência e a mais importante para não publicar resumos como manuscritos completos 42,47 .…”

RESUMO Introdução: a apresentação de pesquisas em um congresso é meio interessante para disseminação científica, porém apenas com a publicação em revista indexada é que os dados se tornam acessíveis e disseminados. A taxa de conversão em artigos publicados de resumos apresentados em congressos é um indicador para avaliar a qualidade científica de seus eventos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar características bibliométricas dos resumos apresentados no Congresso Brasileiro de Coloproctologia e determinar os fatores que afetam as taxas de publicação. Métodos: avaliação retrospectiva de todos os resumos apresentados nos Congressos Brasileiros de Coloproctologia dos anos de 2015 a 2019. Análise de múltiplas bases de dados para estimar a taxa de conversão dos trabalhos apresentados, assim como variáveis associadas à conversão dos resumos em manuscritos completos através de análises bivariadas e multivariadas desses preditores. Resultados: foram analisados 1756 resumos. A maioria dos estudos são retrospectivos, séries ou relatos de casos e até experiência pessoal. A taxa de conversão foi de 6,9%. A presença de análise estatística foi o dobro para os resumos publicados frente aos não publicados. Conclusão: os dados apresentados demonstram uma baixa produtividade científica da especialidade, já que as pesquisas realizadas não são publicadas, em sua maioria, como manuscritos completos. Os fatores preditores de publicação dos resumos foram: estudos multicêntricos, estudos contendo análise estatística, desenhos de estudo de maior nível de evidência e estudos premiados pelo congresso.
