In this study, we aimed to determine the publication status of the abstracts presented at the Turkish Respiratory Society Congress between 2011 and 2014.
The abstracts were classified according to presentation type (oral presentations, poster discussion, etc.), study type, study design, topic, publication status, time interval between the presentation and the publication date, and the journal in which the article was published. The conversion rate of presentations into full-text articles in peer-reviewed journals were surveyed through Elsevier's Scopus.
The total number of abstracts submitted in the congress was 2 009. In terms of study type, the majority of abstracts were case reports (56.4%) and the remainder was original research. Totally, 179 abstracts were published in an indexed journal with an overall publication rate of 8.9%. 18.3% of oral presentations were converted into full-text article. Publication rates according to study types were 14.8% for original researches and 4.4% for case reports. The first three subspecialties with the highest publication rates were "sleep related breathing disorders" (16.9%), "interventional pulmonology" (16.7%) and "pleural diseases" (15.2%). Median publication/acceptance time was 8.0 months (0-38).
This is the first study evaluating the publication rates of abstracts presented in a respiratory congress. Although the number of presented abstracts in the congress increased year by year, prominently in the case reports, over all conversion rates were decreased. We put forward that encouraging the authors to conduct higher-quality investigations would raise the publication rate as well as improve the scientific quality of congress.
在本研究中，我们旨在确定2011年至2014年期间在土耳其呼吸学会大会上发表的摘要的发表情况。
根据报告类型（口头报告、海报讨论等）、研究类型、研究设计、主题、发表情况、报告日期与发表日期之间的时间间隔以及文章发表的期刊对摘要进行分类。通过爱思唯尔的Scopus数据库调查了在同行评审期刊上发表的报告转化为全文文章的转化率。
大会提交的摘要总数为2009篇。就研究类型而言，大多数摘要为病例报告（56.4%），其余为原创研究。共有179篇摘要在索引期刊上发表，总体发表率为8.9%。18.3%的口头报告转化为全文文章。根据研究类型，原创研究的发表率为14.8%，病例报告的发表率为4.4%。发表率最高的前三个亚专业是“睡眠相关呼吸障碍”（16.9%）、“介入肺病学”（16.7%）和“胸膜疾病”（15.2%）。发表/接受的中位时间为8.0个月（0 - 38个月）。
这是第一项评估呼吸学会大会上发表的摘要发表率的研究。尽管大会上发表的摘要数量逐年增加，尤其是病例报告，但总体转化率有所下降。我们提出，鼓励作者进行更高质量的研究将提高发表率，并提升大会的科学质量。
