The aims of the present study were to determine the publication rate of abstracts presented by Australasian emergency physicians at major emergency medicine meetings and to identify the site of publication of papers.
All free paper abstracts presented (oral and poster) by Australasian emergency physicians and trainees at five Australasian College for Emergency Medicine/Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine and International Conference on Emergency Medicine meetings between 1995 and 1998 were identified retrospectively from conference programmes. In order to determine whether or not the abstract had been published, the PubMed database (http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/) was searched using the presenter's name and key words from the abstract. In addition, a hand search of the non-abstracted journal Emergency Medicine was conducted.
Of the 207 free paper abstracts identified, 73 (35%) had been published as full articles. Papers were published in a variety of journals; however, Emergency Medicine accounted for almost half the published papers. The mean time between presentation and publication was 12.6 months (median 11 months).
The abstract to publication rate for papers presented by Australasian emergency physicians and trainees at Australasian College for Emergency Medicine/Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine and International Conference on Emergency Medicine meetings is 35%, which is lower than that reported by some other established specialities, but comparable to rates reported for US-based national and international emergency medicine meetings. Future research should look at barriers to the publication of findings and ways to assist the publication process.
本研究旨在确定澳大利亚急诊医师在主要急诊医学会议上发表的摘要的发表率，并确定论文的发表地点。
回顾性地从会议议程中识别出1995年至1998年间澳大利亚急诊医师和实习医师在五场澳大利亚急诊医学学院/澳大利亚急诊医学协会以及国际急诊医学会议上发表的所有自由论文摘要（口头和海报）。为了确定摘要是否已发表，使用演讲者姓名和摘要中的关键词在PubMed数据库（http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/）中进行搜索。此外，还对未摘要化的《急诊医学》杂志进行了手工检索。
在识别出的207篇自由论文摘要中，73篇（35%）已作为全文发表。论文发表在各种期刊上；然而，《急诊医学》杂志发表的论文几乎占了一半。发表与出版之间的平均时间为12.6个月（中位数为11个月）。
澳大利亚急诊医师和实习医师在澳大利亚急诊医学学院/澳大利亚急诊医学协会以及国际急诊医学会议上发表的论文的摘要发表率为35%，低于其他一些成熟专业的报告率，但与美国国内和国际急诊医学会议的报告率相当。未来的研究应关注研究结果发表的障碍以及协助发表过程的方法。
