To determine the publication rate of the scientific papers presented at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) meetings from 1990 to 1995 inclusive.
A Medline search was performed on abstracts presented at the OTA sessions from 1990 through 1995 using both authors and key text words within the OTA abstract. The publication rate for each meeting, journal of publication, and time to publication were tabulated.
The publication rate for papers presented at the OTA meetings from 1990 through 1994 was 64 percent. This was significantly better than publication rates reported for American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) meetings in 1990 through 1992. The average time to publication was sixteen months. The most common journals in which papers derived from the OTA abstracts were published include the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (JOT), Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery combined volumes (JBJS). and Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (CORR).
OTA meetings are an excellent source of high-quality information, which is generally subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals. The Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma is the single best source for information presented at the OTA meetings. Allowing more papers to be presented did not affect the publication rate for the meetings.
确定1990年至1995年（含）期间在骨科创伤协会（OTA）会议上发表的科学论文的发表率。
对1990年至1995年OTA会议上发表的摘要进行了Medline检索，使用作者和OTA摘要中的关键词。列出了每次会议的发表率、发表期刊和发表时间。
1990年至1994年在OTA会议上发表的论文的发表率为64%。这明显高于1990年至1992年美国骨科医师学会（AAOS）会议报告的发表率。平均发表时间为16个月。源自OTA摘要的论文发表的最常见期刊包括《骨科创伤杂志》（JOT）、《骨与关节外科杂志》合刊（JBJS）以及《临床骨科及相关研究》（CORR）。
OTA会议是高质量信息的重要来源，这些信息通常随后会在同行评审期刊上发表。《骨科创伤杂志》是OTA会议上所呈现信息的最佳单一来源。允许发表更多论文并未影响会议的发表率。
