The adequacy of research presented in abstract form for presentation at scientific meetings remains a concern, as indicated by the proportion of such research appearing in scientific journals after peer review. This report examines the publication of research presented at the pediatrics meetings and the effect of a change in selection procedure for abstracts presented at the Ambulatory Pediatric Association meetings for the years 1979 and 1980. Throughout the period, about half of the presentations were published, usually in general pediatric journals, with an average time to publication of about 20 months. The change in selection procedure resulted in little change in the proportion published among either presentations or abstracts submitted but not selected for presentation, but it did lead to a reduction in time to publication. This experience suggests a mechanism for enhancing the timeliness of publication of research presented at scientific meetings without adversely affecting the process of selection.
以摘要形式提交在科学会议上展示的研究的充分性仍然是一个问题，同行评审后出现在科学期刊上的此类研究比例就表明了这一点。本报告考察了在儿科学会议上展示的研究的发表情况，以及1979年和1980年在门诊儿科学会会议上摘要选择程序变化的影响。在整个期间，约一半的展示内容得以发表，通常发表在普通儿科学期刊上，平均发表时间约为20个月。选择程序的变化在已提交展示的内容或提交但未被选作展示的摘要中，发表比例几乎没有变化，但确实使发表时间缩短了。这一经验提示了一种机制，可提高在科学会议上展示的研究的发表及时性，而不会对选择过程产生不利影响。
