“…Sprague et al 25 surveyed trainees whose abstracts were not converted to full publication, and identified that 47% reported that they lacked time for writing, 31% reported that the study was still in progress, 20% reported that the responsibility for writing the manuscript belonged to someone else, 17% reported difficulties with co-authors and 13% reported that publication was of a low priority. De Bellefeuille et al 12 also identified insufficient data that are quickly collected for abstract preparation in conferences as a major barrier for later publication similar to our study. We identified loss of interest in publication by either trainees or staff supervisors, rejection of manuscripts and decreased mentoring and peer support as barriers.…”

“…Not all abstracts are converted into full manuscript publications, and the rate of conversion ranges from 11 to 78%. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Previous reports have shown that statistically positive results, [12][13][14][15][16][17] acceptance at major conferences, 7,12,13,18,19 oral presentations at conferences, 9,[20][21][22][23] basic science research 11,15,20 and randomized controlled trials 1,15,24 are likely enabling factors for this conversion. Authors have reported that lack of time, difficulty with co-authors, low priority for publication and methodological limitation are the main disabling factors for successful publication.…”

Objective: To study trainee and supervisor perspectives for success or failure of conversion of abstracts to full manuscripts.Study Design: Abstracts presented by trainees between 2000 and 2005 were identified from the syllabi of the Paediatric Academic Society, Canadian Paediatric Society and Hot Topics meetings. The trainee and senior supervisor for each abstract were asked to complete a web-based survey that explored enablers and disablers.Result: Of the 187 abstracts identified, 62 (33%) had trainees as primary authors. Of these, the responses of 42 (68%) trainees and 50 (81%) supervisors were collected; the responses of 21 (50%) trainees and 19 (38%) supervisors reported success in converting the abstract to a manuscript. According to trainees, good research idea, supportive supervisors and practical design were the main enablers, whereas limited time for research and the limited data collection only for abstracts were the main disablers. According to supervisors, adequate research time and the trainees' interest were the main enablers, whereas limited data collection and lack of trainees' interest were the main disablers. Specified research training, allocation of protected research time and making publication mandatory were suggested by both to enhance publication rate. Conclusion:Training programs should consider research training needs and provide dedicated time to improve research productivity by trainees.

“…(Table 1.) [4][5][6][7][8][9] Only a single study has been identified, which has looked at dentistry. Corry, 4 investigated a 10% random sample of IADR abstracts in both 1983 and 1984 and found that the proportion of abstracts that proceeded to full publication was substantially lower (21.6% and 24.2% respectively) than that quoted for other health disciplines.…”

A szerzők tanulmányukban a "klinikainak nevezett kutatások" szakirodalmában -vagyis azokban a cikkekben, amelyek címében a "clinical" szó szerepel -tapasztalható tendenciákat vizsgálták az 1991-2010 közötti időszakban. Főbb megállapításaik a következők: 1. A vizsgált szakirodalom az adott időszakban erőteljesen bővült. 2. Az Amerikai Egyesült Államok dominanciája erős, de az összproduktivitást tekintve néhány rohamosan fejlődő ország (különös-képpen a távol-keleti régióban Kína, Dél-Korea), az erősen idézett publikációkat illetően a fejlett európai országok lassan csökkentik azt. Olaszország kiemelkedő szereplése külön fi gyelemre méltó. 3. A szakorvosi területek közül az onkológia előretörése és a belgyógyászat visszaszorulása a leglátványosabb tendencia. 4. A szógyakoriság-vizsgálatok az onkológia és a genetika egyre növekvő súlyát igazolják. 5. A szógyakoriság-vizsgálatok egy lényeges attitűdben változást is feltárnak: a vizsgált időszak során előtérbe kerültek a klinikai kutatások gyakorlati hasznát, hatékonyságát, eredményességét, valamint a kockázatokat hangsúlyozó közlemények, míg a leíró, vizsgálódó megközelítés visszaszorult. A terápia egyre növekvő, a diagnosztika egyre csökkenő szerepet kap ezekben a kutatásokban. Orv. Hetil., 2014Hetil., , 155(48), 1922Hetil., -1925 Kulcsszavak: klinikai publikációk, klinikai kutatás, publikációs trendek Literature of research labeled as clinical. Trends, patterns and policy aspects, 1991-2010The authors studied trends and patterns in the literature of research labeled as clinical (i.e., having the word "clinical" in their title) in the period between 1991 and 2010. The main fi ndings are: 1. The growth of the literature under study was somewhat stronger than that of the overall medical literature. 2. The dominance of the USA is strong but is challenged by some of the most rapidly developing countries (particularly in the Far-East region: China, Korea) in total production, and by the developed European countries in highly cited publications. The eminence of Italy is remarkable. 3. In comparing the medical fi elds, the most striking tendencies are the increase of oncology and the attenuation of internal medicine. Surgery is steadily growing in size but decreasing in its citation infl uence. 4. Word frequency studies support the ever growing weight of oncology and also of genetics. 5. Beyond the thematic changes, word frequency studies also reveal a substantial change in attitude: in the period under study more and more effort was made on emphasizing the usefulness, effi ciency and risks of the results in contrast with the more descriptive, investigative approach of the past. The role of therapy is growing, the role of diagnostics is decreasing. The knowledge of these trends and patterns may orient health and science policy makers to cope appropriately with the ever changing world of clinical research.
