To determine the rate of publication in a peer-reviewed journal for all oral presentations made at the Canadian Society for Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery's Annual Meetings from 2006-2010.
All abstracts were searched by keywords and authors' names in Medline via PubMed and Google Scholar. Authors of presented abstracts not found to be published were contacted directly for further information.
50.5% of presented abstracts (n = 198) were subsequently published with an average time to publication of 21 months. For those abstracts found not to be published 74.6% (n = 167) of authors responded with further information about their research, 66% (n = 89) of abstracts with author response that were not published were never submitted for publication. Authors' main reasons for not publishing were that the research was still in process (34%, n = 21) or that a resident or fellow working on the project "had moved on" (26%, n = 16).
The publication rate for the Canadian Society for Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery's Annual Meetings from 2006-2010 is within the range reported by other conferences and specifically other Canadian conferences in different specialties; however, roughly half of presentations went on to be published. The main barrier to publication was bringing projects to the submission stage and not rejection by journals. Resources such as more time for research or personnel to coordinate projects may result in a greater rate of project completion.
确定2006年至2010年在加拿大耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会年会上进行的所有口头报告在同行评审期刊上的发表率。
通过PubMed和谷歌学术在Medline中按关键词和作者姓名搜索所有摘要。直接联系未发表的已提交摘要的作者以获取更多信息。
50.5%的已提交摘要（n = 198）随后发表，平均发表时间为21个月。对于那些未发表的摘要，74.6%（n = 167）的作者回复了有关其研究的更多信息，66%（n = 89）有作者回复但未发表的摘要从未提交发表。作者未发表的主要原因是研究仍在进行中（34%，n = 21）或参与该项目的住院医师或研究员“已离职”（26%，n = 16）。
2006年至2010年加拿大耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会年会的发表率在其他会议特别是不同专业的其他加拿大会议所报告的范围内；然而，大约一半的报告最终得以发表。发表的主要障碍是将项目推进到提交阶段，而非被期刊拒绝。诸如更多研究时间或人员来协调项目等资源可能会提高项目完成率。
