Medical meetings give the opportunity to present oral communications or posters to the attending participants. However, the peer-reviewed publication of a full article allows to reach a wide readership.
The survey that was performed on the oral communications and posters presented at the 43rd meeting of the French National Society of Internal Medicine, December 2000, showed that amongst the 303 selected podium presentations and posters, only 82 (27%) were published during the five following years. Podium presentations were more likely to be published than posters (36% versus 22%).
Many oral communications and posters that are presented in medical meeting are not followed by the publication of a peer-reviewed full article despite the modern means of communication. However, this issue is of paramount importance as beyond the legitimate personal satisfaction of a publication, the scientific and academic recognition are the ground of medical career achievement for many physicians.
医学会议为向与会者进行口头报告或展示海报提供了机会。然而,经过同行评审的完整文章发表能让更广泛的读者群体阅读。
对2000年12月在法国国家内科医学协会第43届会议上进行的口头报告和展示的海报所做的调查显示,在303个入选的大会发言和海报中,在随后五年里只有82个(27%)得以发表。大会发言比海报更有可能发表(36%对22%)。
尽管有现代通讯手段,但在医学会议上进行的许多口头报告和展示的海报之后并没有发表经过同行评审的完整文章。然而,这个问题至关重要,因为除了发表带来的合理个人满足感之外,科学和学术认可是许多医生医学职业成就的基础。
