“…Similar to the results of previous reports in the literature, the mean time to publication has been found as 11±4 months and 17±2 months in national and international journals respectively in our study ( 6 , 7 , 8 ) . Nevertheless, we believe that the publication time should be shortened so that the scientific articles provide more actual data when they are accessed by the readers of the journal.…”

Objective:Oral and poster presentations held at national and international congresses are recognized as valuable tools for sharing current scientific data and experience among physicians. However, a large proportion of these works fail to be published in scientific journals. We have designed a study to identify the publication rate of presentations held at the 7th National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2009.Materials and Methods:A systematic search of databases was performed using author names and key words from the abstract title to locate publications in peer-reviewed journals corresponding to the presentations held at the 7th National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Information regarding mode of presentation, topic, type of affiliation, name and impact factor of the scientific journal, change in author names and time elapsed between presentation and publication were recorded and analyzed statistically.Results:Of 243 abstracts that were presented at the congress, 45 papers (18.5%) were published in international peer-reviewed journals, whereas 39 (16%) were published in national journals. The mean time to publication was 17±2 months for international and 11±4 months for national journals (p=0.102). The international publication rate of oral presentations was significantly higher than that of poster presentations (50% vs. 16.2%; p<0.03). The manuscripts were published in a total of 21 journals, with four journals accounting for 49% of the publications. The comparison of the publication rates of the universities with other institutions has yielded no significant difference.Conclusion:Alltough a significant proportion of the abstracts presented in the 7th National Gynecology and Obstetrics Congress have been succesfully converted to publication overall, only a limited percentage of all abstracts have been published in international peer-reviewed journals. The relatively higher conversion to international publication rate of the oral presentations show that they are of higher interest and clinical relevance.

“…The numbers and characteristics of the general surgical and sub‐specialty abstracts presented at the RACS ASC that are converted to full article publications have not been previously studied. The conversion rates of abstracts into full published papers have been reported for a number of medical and surgical meetings, with rates ranging from 13% to 60%, but only one previous study has examined this for a General Surgery congress .

The Fate of Abstracts Presented at Annual Meetings of the American Urogynecologic Society from 2007 to 2008

Abstract: Because not all presentations are published, it is questionable whether it is acceptable to cite AUGS abstracts that have not passed a journal's peer review process and to implement their results in clinical practice.
