Presentation of research work at scientific meetings and professional societies is an important first step toward effective scientific communication of research results. To determine the current publication patterns of abstracts, a computerized MEDLINE literature search was performed on 175 randomly selected ophthalmic clinical and basic science abstracts published in conjunction with two ophthalmic national meetings. This search revealed that 105 abstracts (60%) led to full-length articles in peer-reviewed journals within 50 to 56 months of the meeting date. A median interval of 13 months occurred from date of abstract publication to acceptance of the corresponding article. Most articles appeared within 3 years of abstract presentation. Sixty-four percent (48 of 75) of the posters and free papers presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in November 1984 led to full-length articles, as did 57% (57 of 100) of the abstracts presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in May 1985. These findings emphasize the preliminary nature of abstracts. The fact that nearly 60% of abstracts are published reflects favorably on the review process of both meetings.
在科学会议和专业学会上展示研究工作是朝着有效科学传播研究成果迈出的重要第一步。为了确定当前摘要的发表模式，我们对与两次眼科全国会议同时发表的175篇随机选择的眼科临床和基础科学摘要进行了计算机化的MEDLINE文献检索。该检索显示，105篇摘要（60%）在会议日期后的50至56个月内在同行评审期刊上发表了全文。从摘要发表日期到相应文章被接受的中位间隔为13个月。大多数文章在摘要展示后的3年内出现。1984年11月在美国眼科学会年会上展示的海报和自由论文中有64%（75篇中的48篇）发表了全文，1985年5月在视觉与眼科学研究协会年会上展示的摘要中有57%（100篇中的57篇）也发表了全文。这些发现强调了摘要的初步性质。近60%的摘要得以发表这一事实对两次会议的评审过程是个积极的反映。
