Turk Psikiyatri Derg. 2020 Summer;31(2):99-105. doi: 10.5080/u23808.
In this study we aimed to investigate the frequency and the factors determining the conversion rate of the oral and poster presentations into articles. Five consecutive national psychiatry congresses held by the Psychiatric Association of Turkey (PAT) between 2012 and 2016 were evaluated.
The manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals were identified using the Web of Knowledge, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The identified manuscripts were classified according to the type of the publication, the duration until publication, the impact factor and the index of the journal.
Out of the total 1372 reports presented at the five consecutive National Congress of Psychiatry events, a total of 297 abstracts (21.6%), comprising 201 of the 1104 posters and 96 of the 268 oral presentations, were converted in to publications. A significantly higher percentage of the oral presentations (p<0.001) compared to the poster presentations were converted into publications; and more of the publications consisted of research reports as compared to case reports. The mean time taken from presentation at the congress to publication was 19.04 (±12.47) months. The mean impact factor of the journals at the time of publication was 1.45 (±1.49).
Although the publication percentage of the presentations made in National Congress of Psychiatry events held by the PAT is similar to that of other studies conducted in Turkey, they are below the percentage reported by similar research in the international literature. There is a need in the mental healthcare institutions of Turkey for time allocation to make research and for creating units that can support researchers in the difficult process of publishing research results. Also, a more selective approach should be adopted when evaluating the congress presentations, and research that is considered to be of high academic value should be encouraged for submission as oral presentations.
本研究旨在调查土耳其精神病学协会（PAT）连续五届全国精神病学大会口头报告和海报展示转为文章的频率及其决定因素。
使用 Web of Knowledge、PubMed 和 Google Scholar 数据库，检索发表在同行评议期刊上的文章。根据出版物类型、发表时间、影响因子和期刊索引对识别出的文章进行分类。
在五届连续的全国精神病学大会上共提交了 1372 份报告，其中 297 份摘要（21.6%）被转化为出版物，包括 201 份海报展示和 96 份口头报告。口头报告的转化率显著高于海报展示（p<0.001），且出版物中研究报告的比例高于病例报告。从大会报告到发表的平均时间为 19.04（±12.47）个月。发表时期刊的平均影响因子为 1.45（±1.49）。
尽管 PAT 主办的全国精神病学大会上的演讲发表率与土耳其其他研究相似，但低于国际文献中类似研究报告的比例。土耳其的精神卫生保健机构需要分配时间进行研究，并建立能够支持研究人员发表研究成果的单位。此外，应该对大会演讲采取更具选择性的方法，并鼓励提交被认为具有较高学术价值的研究作为口头报告。
