Taxa de publicação das apresentações no Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia e Traumatologia

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the publication rates of the papers presented at the 2007 Brazilian Orthopedics Meeting (Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia - CBOT). METHODS: Evaluation of the proportion of abstracts submitted by the various orthopedic subspecialties and according to the Brazilian states. Then, a Lilacs and PubMed search was performed in order to determine which presentations generated national or international published papers. RESULTS: São Paulo and the Southeast region were responsible for the greatest number of presentations at the congress (54.1% and 68.3% respectively). Shoulder and Elbow were the subspecialty responsible for more presentations (13.8%). Among the 653 studies presented at the congress, 174 (26.6%) were published. Oral presentations obtained a publication rate 3.58 times higher than posters. CONCLUSION: The CBOT publication rate is lower than 30%. Many of the papers presented at the CBOT does not pass the scrutiny of scientific journals and therefore should not be the only source of scientific update of the participants: Descriptive Epidemiologic.

“Publish or perish”—presentations at annual national orthopaedic meetings and their correlation with subsequent publication

“…Podium presentations and international presenters were found to have a higher chance of being published than poster presentations and local presenters, respectively. Our findings regarding podium presentations being twice as likely to be published compared to poster presentations support data from other meetings which show twice [ 9 ] and thrice [ 10 ] the chance of the same. While trauma papers were found to be less likely published compared to other subspecialties, this is especially surprising considering that while general orthopaedic meeting publication rates vary as mentioned earlier, subspecialty conferences have been found to quote publication rates ranging between 40% and 64% [ 15 - 18 ], the highest being in trauma [ 20 ].…”

“…Table 7 shows this to be taken into account by excluding publication rate data from the SOA meetings of 2011, 2012 and 2013. This shows the publication rate from the remaining meetings to be 35.8%, a figure that is comparable to most national meetings within this study [ 1 , 6 - 9 ], including the BOA [ 6 ] and GSOT [ 8 ] as well as IOA [ 1 ] meetings and significantly higher than the publication rate for CBOT [ 10 ], although it was still found to be significantly lower than the AAOS meeting [ 5 ]. When looked at in more detail, further analysis unsurprisingly showed a significantly higher publication rate from the AAOS than all the rest of the meetings included in this study, thus potentially representing that perhaps the annual meeting of the AAOS has sole superior publication rates.…”

“…Comparisons were finally made with the publication rates of other countries’ national orthopaedic association meetings that had relevant published data. These were namely from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) [ 4 , 5 ], British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) [ 6 ], Irish Orthopaedic Association (IOA) [ 1 ], Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA) [ 7 ], German Society of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery (GSOTS) [ 8 ], Turkish Orthopaedics and Traumatology Congress (TOTC) [ 9 ] and the Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia (CBOT) [ 10 ]. Table 6 summarizes the publications for all these respective meetings.…”

Publication rate of abstracts presented in a Brazilian experimental surgery congress

“…International studies show rates that can range from 34% up to 61% 12 . Nationally, some domestic congresses were able to match these rates 6,11 , but in one Brazilian congress of surgery that occurred in 2003, it got as low as 2,6% 9 . In our study, we found a publication rate of 40,52%, which is comparable to many international papers and overtakes the Brazilian average, being higher than an 8 years follow up of an orthopedic congress, in which the rate was only 21,7% and was appointed greater than the few domestic studies in the area that existed so far in 2013 12 .…”

Scientific production of Brazilian dermatology: analysis of abstracts submitted at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (2005 to 2013) and those eventually published

“…The percentage (11.5%) of studies that consolidated as a publication, from 2005 to 2010, can be considered as intermediary compared with the only two national studies that address this theme: 6.32% of the posters presented at the National Congress Of Angiology and Vascular Surgery and 26.6% of the posters presented at the National Congress of Orthopedics. 5,6 …”
