“…This median time to publication was lower than those recorded in previous studies (21,22). In the previous investigations, search for published articles was conducted two years after the congress (4,6,8), while this time was 12 months for the current survey. Therefore, it is possible that most of the presented abstracts at the first ICNU had not been submitted to any journal, which can explain the low publication rate.…”

“…The publication rate for the first ICNU was lower than those for international relevant congresses held by the American urological association (AUA, 37.8% -55.0%) (6,8,10), European association of urology (EAU, 47.3%) (11), British association of urological surgeons (BAUS, 31.6%) (11), and ICS Meeting (61.6%) (12). Also, the publication rate of the abstracts of three annual nephrology meetings (American society of nephrology (ASN), National kidney foundation (NKF), and European renal association (ERA)) was 42% (13), which was higher than the rate found in our study.…”

“…Although the publication rate in the case of ICNU is lower than the rates for other urology or nephrology congresses (6,8,(10)(11)(12)(13)15), it was relatively higher than the publication rates of the abstracts presented at congresses held in the Middle East countries, such as the 22nd Turkish National Urology Congress by the rate of 10.8% (7).…”

“…Weber et al (9) and Hoag et al (6) declared that the more serious, time-consuming peer-review process in an international peer-reviewed journal in comparison with scientific congresses can lead to the reduction of the publication rate of abstracts in journals.…”

“…It is known that low publication rates of abstracts may have several reasons, most notably is the lack of time stated by researchers for preparation and submission of a full-text article. Also, it is possible that one does not submit a fulltext article for publication to a journal because his/her obtained results are not satisfactory or he/she has a problematic relationship with co-authors or has difficulty in selecting the appropriate journal (6)(7)(8)(9).…”

Objectives: The publication rate of abstracts presented at a scientific congress is considered as an indicator of congress's scientific quality. This rate is in range of 11% to 78% with an average of 45% in international medical congresses. The current survey aimed to determine the publication rate of the presented abstracts at the first international congress of nephrology and urology (ICNU) in 2015. Methods: Data of oral and poster presentations including abstracts' titles and authors were gathered from the proceeding of the first ICNU, Tehran, Iran, 2015. The presented abstracts were searched in Scopus, PubMed, and ISC (for Persian language published papers). All the abstracts were categorized based on presentation type (oral or poster presentation), topic, study type and design, publication status, time interval between the presentation and the publication date, and the journal publishing the full text of the abstracts. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS (version 18, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The total number of abstracts accepted at the first ICNU was 210 (63 as oral and 147 as poster). The results showed that 49 out of 210 abstracts were published as full-text articles in indexed journals, giving the overall publication rate of 23.3%. 6 out of 49 published papers were in Persian Language. In this survey, the rate of publication was 41.3% for oral presentations. The abstracts of prospective studies and original articles were more likely to be published in journals. The median time to publication was 5.3 months (range 1 -12 months). Conclusions: Novel ideas and innovative approaches were discussed at the first ICNU, Tehran, Iran, 2015. The 23.3% publication rate found in the current study was lower than the mean publication rate of previous medical congresses. If the presented abstracts in a congress are not published as papers to be available to all, it would be waste of effort and time.

Objective. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (ARHP) Annual ScientificMeeting is an important forum for early dissemination of novel ideas. However, unlike published studies in peer-reviewed journals, reviewers select abstracts based solely on a general summary of the research. Analyses of the scientific impact and the publication record of the ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting have not been previously described. This study characterizes publication trends and outcomes associated with abstracts presented at the ACR/ ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting. Methods. We identified all abstracts accepted for oral or poster presentation at the 2006 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting. Using a defined search algorithm, we conducted a manual PubMed search for each accepted abstract, which was repeated by a custom computerized search, and analyzed the resulting journal title, impact factor, and time to publication. Results. A total of 2,149 abstracts were analyzed. The overall publication ratio was 59.1%. The mean ؎ SD time from abstract presentation to publication was 18.2 ؎ 15.2 months with a mean ؎ SD impact factor of 5.61 ؎ 4.20. Overall, studies presented in oral format were significantly more likely to be published than poster presentations (P < 0.0001). The average time to publication was significantly shorter for basic science studies than clinical research studies (P < 0.0001). The average journal impact factor of published studies presented in oral format was significantly higher than those presented as posters (P < 0.0001). Conclusion. These results reflect high research productivity with a publication ratio of approximately 60% for abstracts presented at the 2006 Annual Scientific Meeting.
