“…Publication rates vary widely from 8 to 78%. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] A Cochrane Review in 2007 found the APR of almost 30,000 abstracts was 44.5%. 15 Predictors for publication include number of authors, prospective randomised, multicentre design, positive results and oral rather than poster presentation.…”

“…The length of time to publication in our investigation (mean: 14 months, median: nine months) is favorable in comparison with BSG’s mean time of 18.6 months and the same as the mean 14 months reported by Durinka et al from 2007 to 2009 ( Durinka et al, 2016 ; Prendergast et al, 2013 ). Furthermore, the AHPBA’s median time to publication compares favorably to abstracts presented at other gastroenterology conferences ( Raju et al, 2017 ; Timmer et al, 2002 ). A Cochrane review found that the length of time for publication can be influenced by publication bias ( Hopewell et al, 2007 ).…”

“…In the context of other gastroenterology conferences, the 42.7% rate of publication was not the lowest. Prendergast et al (2013) found that the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) had a rate of 17.4% in 2005 and Raju et al (2017) found a rate of 30.9% for abstracts at the United European Gastroenterology week (UEGW). Reasons for not reaching publication were consistent with previous studies and most commonly pertained to lack of time, manpower, or negative results ( Pierson, 2004 ; Scherer et al, 2015 ).…”

BackgroundPublication bias is the tendency of investigators, reviewers, and editors to submit or accept manuscripts for publication based on their direction or strength of findings. In this study, we investigated if publication bias was present in gastroenterological research by evaluating abstracts at Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Congresses from 2011 to 2013.MethodsWe searched Google, Google Scholar, and PubMed to locate the published reports of research described in these abstracts. If a publication was not found, a second investigator searched to verify nonpublication. If abstract publication status remained undetermined, authors were contacted regarding reasons for nonpublication. For articles reaching publication, the P value, study design, time to publication, citation count, and journals in which the published report appeared were recorded.ResultsOur study found that of 569 abstracts presented, 297 (52.2%) reported a P value. Of these, 254 (85.5%) contained P values supporting statistical significance. The abstracts reporting a statistically significant outcome were twice as likely to reach publication than abstracts with no significant findings (OR 2.10, 95% CI [1.06–4.14]). Overall, 243 (42.7%) abstracts reached publication. The mean time to publication was 14 months and a median time of nine months.ConclusionIn conclusion, we found evidence for publication bias in gastroenterological research. Abstracts with significant P values had a higher probability of reaching publication. More than half of abstracts presented from 2011 to 2013 failed to reach publication. Readers should take these findings into consideration when reviewing medical literature.

“…The 2018 Cochrane review explored 425 studies and reported the conversion to publication rates as 24.6% for posters and 43.1% for oral presentations, with an overall rate of 37.3% (4). The rates of conversion to publication for presentations manifest much variability according to the congress and the area of speciality, varying from 8.2-66% (17). When the 2007 Cochrane review (18) and the 2018 review were compared, a reduction in the overall rate from 44.5% to 37.3% was evident (4).…”

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.
