“…The subspecialties were analysed both in terms of the quantity of research presented as well as the quality, determined by assessing their subsequent publication rates. Furthermore, presentations were separated into three categories of research as done by Marsland et al 2 These included: Clinical studies or Case Series; Basic Science or Biomechanical; and Audit, Miscellaneous or Educational. 2 The number of publications in each category were recorded and results compared to literature.…”

“…• Deficit of support from the institution, financially and logistically. 2,4,11 It has also been hypothesised that because presentations at the SAOC is a requirement for most orthopaedic surgeons in training, there is an initial drive to start research in order to write an abstract that would qualify for a general meeting. Once the abstract is accepted however, the motivation to complete the research in the form of a journal submission may be lost.…”

“…It has been summated that the quality of a presentation and by extension the quality of an orthopaedic meeting in general, can partly be determined by the quality of research presented at these meetings. [1][2][3] Research at annual general meetings is typically presented in two main formats: podium or poster presentations. Several studies have attempted to assess the quality of research produced at annual meetings.…”

“…Several studies have attempted to assess the quality of research produced at annual meetings. [1][2][3][4][5] Podium presentations have been shown to be more than two or three times more likely to be published than poster presentations. 1,5,6 Quality of presentations may be evaluated by determining the subsequent publication rate in peer-reviewed journals.…”

“…4 The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' annual general meeting is widely recognised as the gold standard in terms of quality of meeting with 58% of presentations at this congress proceeding to publication. 2,7 Developed countries, especially those from North America and the European Union, have been shown to produce the most literature in any given medical field. 8 This is believed to be due to more access to appropriate funding for research projects, more competition within the field, and improved proficiency in the English language.…”

Publication rates of podium presentations at the annual South African Orthopaedic Association Congress from 2010 to 2015

Background: International literature shows a discrepancy between presentations at annual general orthopaedic meetings and subsequent publication. The aim of this study was to determine the publication rate of manuscripts presented as podium presentations at the South African Orthopaedic Congress (SAOC) from 2010 to 2015. Materials and methods: All abstracts accepted as podium presentations at the SAOC from years 2010 to 2015 were identified from the archives of the South African Orthopaedic Society (SAOA). Abstract titles and authors were searched using search engines looking for all published manuscripts. The presentations were cross-referenced with publications and the conversion ratio from presentation to publication was compared to international results. Sub-analyses included orthopaedic subspecialty performance and publication rates and the types of research conducted. Record was also made of each publication's journal impact factor and date of publication. Results: A total of 445 abstracts were accepted for podium presentation by the SAOC from 2010 to 2015. Of these, 70 (15.7%) were published in peer-reviewed journals. The mean time from presentation to publication was 16 months with an average journal impact factor of 1.29. Orthopaedic Trauma (21.67%) and Foot and Ankle Surgery subspecialties (21%) were responsible for the most publications in general. The South African Orthopaedic Journal (44.29%), Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction (6.7%) and the Injury Journal (6.7%) were the three most common publishing journals. Conclusion: A lower conversion rate from podium presentation at SAOC to publication exists compared to similar published international findings. A poor publication rate was highlighted across all orthopaedic subdisciplines. Half of the publications appeared only in local journals, with just over 8% of presentations reaching international publication. The results suggest there is a need to identify barriers to publication among South African orthopaedic surgeons.

Background: Presentations at scientific conferences are an important method of research dissemination, with abstracts often used to inform clinical practice. Abstract to publication ratio is a commonly used tool for determining meeting quality. The aim of this study was to determine the publication rate for abstracts presented at the Australian Orthopaedic Association Annual Scientific Meeting (AOA ASM) between 2012 and 2015 inclusive and identify reasons for non-publication. Methods: MEDLINE, PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to determine whether each abstract presented at AOA ASMs between 2012 and 2015 was associated with a full text publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Where a publication could not be located, the presenter was contacted to confirm the reason for non-publication. Results: A total of 1130 abstracts were submitted (951 oral and 179 posters), and 573 resulted in full-text peer-reviewed publications (51%). The majority of publications (73%) were published within 2 years of presentation. There was no difference in likelihood of publication for oral presentations compared to posters, nor in the rate of publication across the 4 years of meetings. Common reasons for non-publication were lack of time (32%), publication considered low priority (27%) and journal rejections (22%). Conclusion:The overall publication rate for abstracts presented at the AOA ASM is 51%, which is an increase from the 1998 ASM (31%). This publication rate is higher than many similar Australian meetings and on par with other international orthopaedic and subspecialty meetings. Future research should investigate potential publication bias and methods to minimise barriers to publication.

Background Global health research has been expanding rapidly. The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) and Global Health and Innovation Conference (GHIC) are the two major conferences for global health research. It is unclear how much of the presented research goes on to full‐length publication. Objectives This study sought to determine publication rates and journals of CUGH and GHIC research. Methods A total of 1449 abstracts from CUGH and GHIC from 2014 to 2015 were searched by title, author and keywords using Google Scholar and PubMed. Publications were categorised according to WHO Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) categories. Results Research was published in 293 journals at a rate of 34.0%, within an average of 15.1 months. The 15 MEDLINE indexed global health journals accounted for just 5.5% of publications. Discussion Despite growth in global health research, publication rates from the two major conferences are low. The majority of publications in journals are not MEDLINE indexed global health journals. Improved publication and consolidation of global health research is critical. Conclusion Global health conference publication rates are low. Effective dissemination is critical as the field grows. This may require increased publishing support, improved indexing and consolidation of global health research.
