To study the factors associated with the subsequent (over next 9 years) full-text publication of papers presented at the 44th National Conference of Indian Academy of Pediatrics (PEDICON), 2007.
All papers presented at PEDICON 2007 were searched for subsequent full-text publication over the next 9 years in English-language journals by an internet-based search. The published papers were compared with the conference-abstracts.
74 (16%) of the 450 abstracts presented were subsequently published; 61 (82.4%) in Medline-indexed journals. Majority (50, 67.6%) of the papers was published within the first 36 mo in journals with mean (SD) impact factor of 2.62 (1.63). The factors significantly associated with subsequent publication were papers presented as award papers (P<0.001), those reporting on Interventional trials (P<0.001), and those from medical colleges (P<0.05). On comparison of the conference abstracts with the subsequently published full-papers, 55% had a change in title; authors were changed in 65%, and participants' numbers were dissimilar in 8.6%.
There is a need to identify the factors responsible for this low rate of subsequent publication, and interventions to improve it both at institutional and researchers' level.
研究与2007年第44届印度儿科学会全国会议（PEDICON）上发表的论文随后（在接下来的9年里）全文发表相关的因素。
通过基于互联网的搜索，查找在PEDICON 2007上发表的所有论文在接下来9年里在英文期刊上的全文发表情况。将已发表的论文与会议摘要进行比较。
在会上发表的450篇摘要中，有74篇（16%）随后发表；其中61篇（82.4%）发表在被Medline收录的期刊上。大多数论文（50篇，67.6%）在头36个月内发表在平均（标准差）影响因子为2.62（1.63）的期刊上。与随后发表显著相关的因素包括作为获奖论文发表的（P<0.001）、报告干预性试验的（P<0.001）以及来自医学院的（P<0.05）。将会议摘要与随后发表的全文进行比较，55%的论文标题有变化；65%的论文作者有变化，8.6%的论文参与者人数不同。
有必要确定导致后续发表率低的因素，并在机构和研究人员层面采取干预措施来提高这一比率。
