📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the conversion rate of oral and poster presentations intopublications presented at four consecutive congresses held by the Turkish Society of Sports Injuries andArthroscopy between 2008 and 2014 and to determine the publication pattern.Methods: The manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals were identified using the Web ofKnowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar databases, ULAKBIM, and Endnote citation management software(X7.7.1).
📊
Key Findings & Data:The identified manuscripts were classified according to the level of evidence, number of citations,subject, publication journals, time period until publication, and citation index of the journal.Results: Between 2008 and 2014, a total of 561 presentations were made, comprising 278 posters and 283oral presentations.
💡

Özet

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the conversion rate of oral and poster presentations intopublications presented at four consecutive congresses held by the Turkish Society of Sports Injuries andArthroscopy between 2008 and 2014 and to determine the publication pattern.Methods: The manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals were identified using the Web ofKnowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar databases, ULAKBIM, and Endnote citation management software(X7.7.1). The identified manuscripts were classified according to the level of evidence, number of citations,subject, publication journals, time period until publication, and citation index of the journal.Results: Between 2008 and 2014, a total of 561 presentations were made, comprising 278 posters and 283oral presentations. Of these presentations, 164 (29.2%) were published as a manuscript. Of the publishedarticles, 114 were originated from oral presentations (40.2% of total) and 50 from poster presentations (18%of total). A significantly higher number of oral presentations compared to poster presentations wereconverted into publications (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was determined between theconversion rates of oral and poster presentations in 2014. The mean time from presentation at the congressto publication was 15.4 months (range: 144 months to þ62 months). The mean impact factor of thejournals at the time of publication increased for each congress. Evidence level of presented articles wassignificantly higher in the 2014 congress when compared to previous congresses.Conclusion: The rate of conversion into publication was higher for oral presentations, which can beattributed to the fact that studies with a higher level of evidence are more likely to have been presentedas oral presentations. Based on these study results, authors of oral presentations at congresses should beencouraged to increase the rate of conversion into publication.
