“…This analysis demonstrated that when compared to other academic specialty research conferences, although time to publication was relatively consistent, the percentage of presented research going on towards publication was relatively low. Publication rates in other fields have ranged from 30% on the low end to 70% on the higher end, with podium presentations generally resulting in higher rates of publication (Lehman et al, 2017; see also Rushing et al, 2018; see also Marsland, Mumith, & Taylor, 2018; Villani et al, 2019; Ohtori et al, 2018; Miguel‐Dasit et al, 2005; Narain et al, 2017; Lloyd, et al, 2006; Chan & Graham, 2010; Amirhamzeh et al, 2012; Gregory & Liu, 2012; Tyagi et al, 2013). The overall publication rate from CUGH and GHIC from 2014 to 2015 was 34.0%; in contrast, the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meetings were determined to have an overall podium presentation publication rate of 67.3% (Lehman et al, 2017).…”

“…Low priority of publication and expecting journal rejection were other notable reasons given by authors for not publishing (Scherer, Ugarte‐Gil, Schmucker, & Meerpohl, 2015). The studies that we looked at listed other notable factors, including a lack of institutional support for individuals (especially students) seeking to publish and the educational versus publication value of conference abstracts (Rushing et al, 2018; see also Marsland, Mumith, & Taylor, 2018; Villani et al, 2019; Ohtori et al, 2018).…”

“…Cut‐off dates were delineated to ensure consistency of findings across ranges of searches. Searches were conducted by titles, authors and key words, with confirmation and matching occurring after suspected papers were found (Shue & Warden, 2018; see also Rushing et al, 2018; see also Marsland, Mumith, & Taylor, 2018; Villani et al, 2019; Ohtori et al, 2018; Lehman et al, 2017; Miguel‐Dasit et al, 2005; Narain et al, 2017; Lloyd et al, 2006; Chan & Graham, 2010; Amirhamzeh et al, 2012; Gregory & Liu, 2012; Tyagi et al, 2013).…”

“…Research presented at several other medical research conferences has been examined for eventual publication, and most conference presentations have publication rates between 30% and 70% (Lehman et al, 2017; see also Rushing et al, 2018; see also Marsland, Mumith, & Taylor, 2018; Villani et al, 2019; Ohtori et al, 2018; Miguel‐Dasit, Martí‐Bonmatí, Sanfeliu, & Aleixandre, 2005; Narain, Hijji, Kudaravalli, Yom, & Singh, 2017; Lloyd et al, 2006; Chan & Graham, 2010; Amirhamzeh, Moor, Baldwin, & Hosalkar, 2012; Gregory & Liu, 2012; Tyagi, Chugh, Kumar, & Sethi, 2013).…”

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.

“…Specifically, a full publication was required to have an author list, including at least the first and last authors of the presentation, a title, including the related keywords as the abstract title, and apparently reproduce the material and methods of the presentation. Publications with different sample sizes (compared to the abstract) were accepted as a match if the aim of the study and methods were the same as the abstract and the author criteria were compatible (15,16). If publications could not be reached, the most appropriate keywords for the presentation were selected, and all publications by the first/final author between the congress date and 2020 were searched again.…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the publication rate for oral presentations at Congresses of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of Turkey (CEMDT), their contribution to the literature, and variations over twenty years. Material and Methods:Presentations from 1997-2017 were accessed through congress booklets. PubMed and Google Scholar were used for the relevant literature search. Results: A total of 456 oral presentations were identified as having a publication conversion rate of 45.4% (207). These manuscripts were published in journals with a median impact factor (IF) of 2.79 (interquartile range (IQR):1.77-3.58) and were found to receive a median of 9 (IQR: 3-21) citations. The publication rate in SCI/SCI-E indexed journals was 80.2% (166). The publication duration was a median of 20.6 months (IQR: 6-41 months). The multinational abstract rate was 6.8% (31), whereas 19.3% (88) of the abstracts comprised of retrospective data. The most frequent variation during the conversion to articles was a change in the order of the authors, which was observed in 65.71% (136) of cases. When the two ten-year periods from 1997-2006 and 2007-2017 are compared, the publication rate increased from 37.1% to 54.3% (p<0.01). Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate the publication rate of the CEMDT presentations. The conversion rate for oral presentations to publication is high compared to studies from other branches of medical science in Turkey. However, it remains lower than the international congresses. There is a promising enhancement in the last ten years.

IMPORTANCEConference proceedings are platforms for early communication and dissemination of relevant and timely topics of interest. More than half of abstracts presented at biomedical conferences fail to be published in full, resulting in wasted time and resources.OBJECTIVE To systematically review reports evaluating the proportion of abstracts presented at eye and vision conferences that are subsequently published in full and investigate factors associated with publication.DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and reference lists of included reports were systematically searched from inception to January 11, 2019.STUDY SELECTION Reports that examined the proportion of abstracts presented at eye and vision conferences and subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals 24 or more months later.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility, abstracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the proportion of abstracts published in full and assess factors associated with subsequent full publication. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Proportion of abstracts presented at eye and vision conferences subsequently published in full.RESULTS There were 19 reports covering 12 261 abstracts presented at 11 unique eye and vision conferences. The overall risk of bias of the reports was low. The weighted proportion of abstracts published in full was 38.0% (95% CI, 31.7%-44.3%) and 54.9% (95% CI, 34.6%-73.7%) among reports restricted to abstracts describing randomized clinical trials. Nine reports (47.4%) investigated the proportion of abstracts subsequently published by ophthalmic subspecialties, ranging from 28.3% (oculoplastics: 95% CI, 17.2%-42.9%) to 42.7% (glaucoma: 95% CI, 34.7%-51.0%). Oral presentation (risk ratio, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.20-1.76) and basic science (risk ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.05-1.47) were significantly associated with higher full publication; factors not significantly associated with full publication included positive results, randomized clinical trial vs other study design, multicenter study, and industry funding.CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE More than 60% of abstracts presented at eye and vision conferences were not published in full within 2 years of conference presentation. Failure to disseminate research studies in peer-reviewed journals is not desired, especially when involving human participants.
