Background: Oral and poster presentations at annual national meetings of the Romanian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (RSGH) provide a forum for education, communication and discussion of new research. However, for the wide-spread dissemination of the new research work, each presentation should be subsequently published as a full-text article in peer-reviewed, indexed journals. Aim: to evaluate the publication rate of full-text articles in peer-reviewed journals after being first presented as abstracts at two consecutive RSGH annual meetings. Methods: A retrospective review of all abstracts presented at the annual meetings in 2013 and 2014 was performed. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched using abstract titles, first author’s name and affiliation, and key words from the title to identify whether an abstract resulted in a peer-reviewed publication. Abstracts published in full-text were subsequently assessed for study type, study center, topics, publication year, journals and their impact factors (IFs). We chose the 2013 and 2014 meetings to ensure a minimum two-year follow-up period since the last meeting for the publication as full-length articles. Results: A total of 562 abstracts were presented (275 in 2013, 287 in 2014). There were 150 oral presentations (93 in 2013, 57 in 2014) and 412 poster presentations (182 in 2013, 230 in 2014). Fifty seven of them (10.1%) were published as full-text articles, among them 26 (17.3%) after oral presentations and 31 (7.5%) after poster presentations (P=0.001). University affiliation and original research work were most likely to be published. The average IFs of the journals which published the articles were 2.42 in 2013 and 1.87 in 2014. Conclusion: The publication rate for the annual RSGH meetings abstracts as full-text articles in peer-reviewed journals is very low compared to the analyses performed in gastroenterology or other medical specialities from other countries. It is not clear yet what are the factors responsible for the failure of publication.

Category: Other Introduction/Purpose: National orthopaedic meetings are used to disseminate current research. These abstracts are commonly intended to go on to full-text publication in peer-reviewed journals. Several studies have reviewed the abstract to full-text journal publications for orthopaedic society meetings and reported a 34% to 73% publication rate. This has not been studied for the foot and ankle literature. The purpose of this study is to determine the full-text journal publication rates of podium and poster presentations from the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Annual meetings between 2008 and 2012. Methods: All abstracts submitted to and subsequently accepted for podium and poster presentations from the 2008 to 2012 AOFAS annual meetings were compiled from the AOFAS and the published meeting programs. In May 2016, PubMed searches were performed using individual key words in the abstract title with all authors’ names. The results were reviewed for matches to the meeting abstracts with regards to content similarities. Time to full-text publication was recorded. Full-text publication rates for podium and poster presentations were calculated per year. The top journals of publication for podium and poster abstracts were calculated. Continuous data was summarized using mean ± standard deviation and categorical data was summarized using counts and percents. Difference in publication rates between podium and poster presentations was determined by an odds ratio. Results: From 2008 to 2012, 1262 abstracts were submitted to the annual meeting. The overall abstract publication rate was 62.4%: 73.7% for podium abstracts and 55.8% for poster abstracts. Podium presentations were significantly more likely to be published compared to posters (p< 0.0001; odds ratio 2.17, 95% CI, 1.64-2.86). Mean time to publication was 1.53 and 1.37 years for podium and poster presentations, respectively (p=0.124). The three most common journals for published podium abstracts were Foot and Ankle International (FAI) (50.4%), Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) (13.0%) and The American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM) (4.3%). For poster abstracts, the three most common journals were: FAI (36.9%), Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery (9.4%) and Foot and Ankle Specialist (8.5%). Conclusion: Podium abstracts were over two times more likely to be published compared to poster abstracts. The overall full- text publication rate for the AOFAS was one of the higher reported rates compared to other national orthopaedic society meetings. The significance of the high full-text publication rate is unclear; it may reflect the quality of presented material or commitment to publication by the authors. The top journal for podium and poster abstracts was FAI, indicating the presentations’ specialty-focus.

Green chemistry occupies a research frontier that is the subject of much current research activity. Although it is not a new branch of chemistry, it demands distinctive thought processes about existing and new chemistry tools, as well as knowledge and creative design of those chemical principles that can contribute toward societal growth whilst protecting the environment and human health. To achieve these ends, it is necessary to create more awareness in the lay public, and to ensure that teachers and students at all levels of education become familiar with the basic concepts and their beneficial outcomes. In this respect, developing countries still have much to do in order to achieve higher levels of awareness of and participation in a greener vision.The IUPAC-sponsored Second International Symposium on Green/Sustainable Chemistry, held in Delhi on 10-13 January 2006, contributed successfully to promoting international awareness of green chemistry. Almost 550 delegates attended from 22 countries and participated in deliberations on recent advances in the trend toward more environmentally friendly practice of chemistry. In addition to a program of 8 plenary lectures and three-way parallel sessions for 31 main and 44 invited lectures by eminent scientists, upcoming doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows gave 33 oral presentations on their contributions to future developments in green chemistry. The poster presentations showcased up-to-date research on a range of topics including synthesis of bioactive compounds, green edges of physical chemistry including computational methods, and the use of biomaterials, nanotechnology, biomimetic processes, microwave technology, and ionic liquids, amongst others. The subject of methodological industrialization attracted much interest and served as a source of information and inspiration to representatives from no less than 28 chemical and pharmaceutical companies.The Symposium has contributed to the growing recognition that government, industry, and the academic sector need to cooperate closely, in order to achieve and promote the cause of green chemistry and its beneficial consequences throughout the world. The challenge for the chemistry community is to recognize the need and pursue research that engages environmentally friendly challenges and outcomes. Chemistry provides many of the tools that enable us to understand and influence the environment, and has the potential to be a decisive factor in securing an environmentally acceptable future for humankind. At the practical level, each advance through development of a safe process or a safe product contributes to that future. Much has already been achieved, but a great deal more remains to be done. The publication of this collection of papers, based upon a selection of lectures of the Symposium, provides an overview of some of the chemistry through which clean, eco-friendly, and less wasteful manufacturing processes for sustainable development is increasingly being realized.The International Organizing Committee contributed to shaping the program for this important event in the international calendar of green chemistry activities. Thanks are due to the Local Organizing Committee for the efficiency and excellence of the arrangements and for the gracious hospitality extended to all participants. On behalf of the organizers, I am grateful to those who contributed their research work to this issue and for the support from Dr. John W. Jost, IUPAC Executive Director.M. KidwaiSymposium Chairman

Degree Of Heterogeneity

Background and aims: Conferences provide an opportunity to present findings to an audience of experts in the field and get feedback for putting the research in context. Since conference proceedings provide limited space for presenting the findings, research publications are able to provide a better platform for the wider reach, scrupulous peer evaluation, and temporal consolidation of the medical scientific material. This review attempts to collate the studies which have evaluated the abstract publication ratio of the conference presentations. Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis included peer reviewed publications which quantitatively reported the publication rate of conference presentations. Results: A total of 28 studies were included, with sample sizes ranging from 82 to 1897 abstracts (total 17,172 abstracts). The publication rate ranged from 3.8% to 78.0%, with weighted mean publication rate of 41.8% (95% confidence interval of 34.1% to 49.5%). Oral presentations had a greater chance of being published as compared to poster presentations (odds ratio of 2.693, 95% confidence intervals of 1.285 to 5.646). There was high degree of heterogeneity in the findings. Conclusions: A small proportion of the conference presentations ispublished. Efforts should be made to improve the abstract publication ratio to improve the wider dissemination of the available research.

OBJECTIVEThe objective of this study was to determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at the annual meetings of the AANS/CNS Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves (Spine Summit).METHODSThe authors used a search algorithm in PubMed to determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at the Spine Summit from 2007 to 2012. The variables assessed were presentation modality, topic, meeting year, publication year, destiny journal and its 5-year impact factor (IF), country, and citation count (retrieved from the Scopus database).RESULTSOne thousand four hundred thirty-six abstracts were analyzed; 502 were oral presentations and 934 were digital poster presentations. The publication rate was 53.97% (775/1436). The mean time from presentation to publication was 1.35 ± 1.97 years (95% CI 1.21–1.49 years). The mean citation count of published articles was 40.55 ± 55.21 (95% CI 36.66–44.44). Oral presentations had a higher publication rate (71.51%, 359/502) than digital posters (44.54%, 416/934; OR 3.13, 95% CI 2.48–3.95, p < 0.001). Oral presentations had a higher number of citations (55.51 ± 69.00, 95% CI 48.35–62.67) than digital posters (27.64 ± 34.88, 95% CI 24.28–31.00, p < 0.001). The mean IF of published articles was 3.48 ± 2.91 (95% CI 3.27–3.70). JNS: Spine (191/775, 24.64%), Spine (103/775, 13.29%), and Neurosurgery (56/775, 7.23%) had the greatest number of published articles. The US represented the highest number of published articles (616/775, 79.48%).CONCLUSIONSThe publication rate of the Spine Summit is among the highest compared to other spine meetings. Many of the abstracts initially presented at the meeting are further published in high-IF journals and had a high citation count. Therefore, the Spine Summit maintains its high standards of scientific papers, which reflects the high quality of the research performed in the spine surgery field in North America.

e17540 Background: Cancer cachexia affects about 250,000 patients in the US worsening treatment outcome and quality of life. To evaluate the scholar contribution to cancer cachexia, we analyzed the cachexia literature and funding support. Methods: In May 2008, we conducted a search of the major databases Medline, Web of Sciences, and Scopus of all publications with MeSH heading “cachexia” or keywords “cachexia, cachectic, cachexic” since 1982, distinguishing “original research” from “review” articles. To examine the trend over time, we compared the publication rate in the field of cachexia to that of published manuscripts in reference fields (cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, and CHF). To study the federal funding for cachexia research, we examined the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects database. Only descriptive statistical analysis was adopted because of the heterogeneity of methods. Results: We identified 1990 published manuscripts, 677 (34%) of which are “reviews”. Out of the 2,890 country of origin affiliations, the US is the lead contributor (N = 1,105; 38%). In the last 5 years, the ratio of “review” articles in cachexia increased significantly (49%), compared to cancer (17%), and science publications (8%). Unlike the of publications in reference fields, the increase in cachexia has been mostly due to the dominance of “review” articles (ratio of original/review of 0.928 in cachexia, versus 0.417 in CHF, 0.337 in Alzheimer and 0.206 in AIDS). Nevertheless, published cachexia articles in journals with high impact factors (IF ≥ 4.0) remains similar (8.49%) to that of science research (8.63%) with a predominance of “review’ articles. Only one in four published manuscripts (24%) acknowledged federal support. Cachexia research support by US federal agencies declined significantly in the last decade (with a peak of 161 awards in 1999 down to 40 in 2006), the NCI remains the leading funding agency (17%). Only 275 out of the total of 121,997 NCI- awards over 25 years (0.22%) were awarded to cachexia research, with a clear decline in the latest decade by 50% (0.14% vs. 0.29%). Conclusions: Advances in the field of original cancer cachexia research have been very limited, perhaps related to the lack of federal research funding support, which is on the decline. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background: National orthopaedic meetings are used to disseminate current research through podium and poster abstract presentations. Not all of these abstracts go on to full-text journal publication. The purpose of this study was to determine the publication rates of podium and poster presentations from the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) annual meetings between 2008 and 2012. Methods: All accepted podium and poster abstracts from the 2008-2012 AOFAS annual meetings were compiled from the AOFAS office, Physician Resource Center website, and hardcopy meeting programs. PubMed and Google Scholar searches were performed for journal publications using key words in the presentation abstracts and authors’ names. Full-text journal publication rates for the presentations were calculated per year, as were the most common journals of publication. Results: Overall full-text publication rate was 73.7% for podium presentations and 55.8% for posters. Podium presentations were published in a journal significantly more often than posters ( P < .0001; odds ratio 2.17 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.64-2.86]). The mean time to publication was 1.5 and 1.4 years for podium and poster presentations, respectively ( P = .124). The most common journal for podium and poster publications was Foot & Ankle International. Conclusion: Podium abstracts were significantly more likely to be published compared to posters. The AOFAS overall full-text journal publication rate was one of the higher reported rates compared with other national orthopedic society meetings, which have ranged from 34% to 73%.
