Gat-her-ing at the dinner table: an arts-based invitation to organize differently in academia

Public Discussion Affects Question Asking at Academic Conferences

Academic conferences can promote academic exchanges among researchers. As the core of academic conferences, they inject soul into academic conferences. Here, we put forward the evaluation of researchers' academic conference active degree from the perspective of participation. This paper mainly proposes to apply the “h‐index” and the “p‐index” to the active degree evaluation of researchers, which is a particularly simple and useful method to describe the scientific output of a researcher in academic meetings. The relevant indices are extended to the participation indices, forming the p‐index of participation. Introduce the participation rate to improve the original h‐index and form the h‐index of participation. The evaluation effect of each index is analyzed from the consistency, difference and correlation between them. The results support the conclusion that the p(p)‐index can well reflect the value of researchers' lifetime contribution, and the h(p)‐index can reflect the degree of loyalty of researchers better.

Bias essentially refers to an inclination, diversion, or deviation. In terms of epidemiology and statistics, bias refers to an error in the design or development of a study that leads to inadequate interpretations (deviation from the truth), as a result of a systematic error in the study. However, there are different classifications of study biases.1,2 The clinical information of many studies is presented at various academic meetings. At the university level, recent publications in the literature are discussed at events such as journal clubs, and case thematic presentations, as well as bedside discussions. The principal objectives of these meetings are to teach the student to understand and make a systematic and accurate analysis of the medical literature; another objective could be to update students and professors on topics of common interest.3–5 There is no consensus about the modalities of these meetings, and in some cases background questions are asked, while in other cases more elaborate Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and Time (PICOT) questions are used. The fact that the student is being assessed involves having an adequate understanding of the article to share that knowledge with his/her peers and professors. The student shall then elaborate on medical, epidemiological, and statistical concepts of the study being discussed; however, being assessed may lead the student to make the decision of omitting some aspects of the study. This may be due to different reasons, including: (1) not wanting to be questioned about a topic he/she does not master; (2) not wanting to stand out showing an in depth knowledge of the article, delivering the missing data when asked; (3) to err in the reading and then in the transcription of the study, accidentally omitting information. Any of these circumstances may result in a lack of veracity in the presentation of the methods or results of the trials, generating an inappropriate analysis of the results by the recipients of the information which may lead to a deviation from reality. This is called transcription bias, since although there is a proper way to present the data in scientific articles and this same approach may be used to submit information thereof, occasionally the mode of presentation may vary and hence ignore important and relevant information for the comprehension and analysis of the article or subject matter. The student could argue that the information was not available in the article or in the research protocol (usually published in clinical experiments and systematic reviews); however, this rises some doubts about the reason for ignoring the information. Similarly, it must be emphasized that the meeting should predefine the strategies to ensure transparency in the development of the meeting. How significant, methodical, and frequent is this limitation? One should try to establish the frequency, the type of students where this happens, under what circumstances, and also the severity of the impact, as this issue has not been previously described. It should be noted that bias is typically “systematic”, which is easy to measure in this setting. Understanding that this situation may arise forces us to question the scope and the value of these academic meetings as tools for assessing the mode of presentation, the knowledge about epidemiology, statistics, and medical topics in particular. Consequently, it is possible to establish mechanisms to mitigate the effect of these deviations through controls, either by peers or professors that allow for the identification of omissions in the presentation, as a vehicle for a permanent update of all the participants involved. Financing None. Conflicts of interest The authors have no conflict of interest to disclose.

To assess knowledge of capacity issues across different medical specialties we conducted a cross-sectional survey with a structured questionnaire at academic meetings, lectures and conferences. Of 190 individuals who received the questionnaire 129 (68%) responded-35 general practitioners, 31 psychiatrists, 29 old-age physicians [corrected] and 34 final year medical students. Correct answers on capacity to consent to or refuse medical treatment were given by 58% of the psychiatrists, 34% of the geriatricians, 20% of the general practitioners and 15% of the students. 15% of all respondents wrongly believed that a competent adult could lawfully be treated against his or her will, with no obvious differences by specialty. As judged by this survey, issues of capacity and consent deserve more attention in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.

Many academic meetings and conferences have transitioned from in-person events to hybrid or even online only formats, improving access for participants from around the world. Unfortunately, facilitating networking and active participation online remains challenging. In recent years, various unconference formats have been created to promote networking, collaborative discussions, and project work at both in-person and virtual meetings. We developed the virtual brainstorming event unconference format [1] to provide opportunities for participant-driven international activities, dialogue, and collaboration in an online setting. This follow-up paper introduces improvements to the format, including using virtual brainstorming events to enhance discussions at a subsequent in-person meeting, and provides practical tips for organizing a successful event. This unconference format is a powerful content generation strategy, as large, diverse co-author teams can create valuable resources or insights that no individual contributor could create independently. After a virtual brainstorming event, organizers often want to share the insights gained with the wider research community, by collaboratively preparing a paper or another type of output with participants. We also address factors that virtual brainstorming event organizers who plan to create an output should consider when planning and running the event.

Gender equity is a prominent issue in the medical profession. Representation of female physicians at academic meetings has been identified as an important component of gender equity; however, this topic has not been systematically assessed. To determine the trend during the last decade in the proportion of speakers who were women at major academic medical conferences held in Canada and in the United States. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted examining the gender of speakers listed in meeting programs of medical conferences held in Canada and in the United States in 2007 and from 2013 through 2017. Eligible conferences were identified using a sensitive search strategy, and a previously validated tool was used to analyze each meeting speaker list and to assign a proportion of female speakers. Conferences held in English language, hosted in Canada or the United States, and targeted to a physician audience with 100 or more attendees were included. The comparison group was active physicians in Canada and in the United States. The mean of the proportion of female speakers at each conference per year. In total, 181 conferences with 701 individual meetings were analyzed, including 100 medical and 81 surgical specialty conferences. The proportion of women ranged from 0% to 82.6% of all speakers. The mean (SD) proportion of female conference speakers for all meetings analyzed significantly increased from 24.6% (14.6%) for 40 meetings in 2007 to 34.1% (15.1%) for 181 meetings in 2017 (P < .001). The mean proportion of female speakers at medical specialty conferences was 9.8% higher (SE, 1.9%; P < .001) than the mean proportion of female speakers at surgical specialty conferences for all years analyzed. The mean proportion of female speakers at conferences was similar to the mean proportion of active female physicians across all specialties in the United States and in Canada for all years analyzed. Although our findings indicate that the proportion of female speakers at medical conferences increased during the last decade, women continue to be underrepresented. Speaker invitation and selection at conferences represent important opportunities to influence gender equity within medicine.

Cervical cancer, a major global health concern, is primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2), a precancerous lesion, exhibits high spontaneous regression rates (50%-60%), particularly in younger women, current clinical management lacks accurate risk stratification. This study examines HPV integration status as a prognostic biomarker in women aged 18-45 diagnosed with CIN2, with the objective of developing a predictive tool for personalised therapeutic strategies and minimising overtreatment in this high-regression population. This multicentre cohort study will be implemented across 20 tertiary Grade A hospitals in China, encompassing eastern, western, central and northern regions. It will recruit 240 CIN2 patients, collecting sociodemographic, lifestyle and medical history data via questionnaires. Clinical examinations will be performed at baseline and follow-up. Disease regression ((to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 [CIN1] or lower)) and non-regression (persistent CIN2 or progression) will be evaluated. Prognostic factors will be analysed using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for confounders such as age, weight and socioeconomic status. The cohort study protocol and informed consent procedures adhere to the Declaration of Helsinki and pertinent Chinese clinical research regulations. Ethical approval has been obtained from the Clinical Research Review Committee of the Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital (2022KYLLR01018) and from the participating hospitals. Written informed consent is secured from all participants prior to enrolment, with detailed information provided regarding study objectives, procedures, potential risks and benefits and participants' rights. Results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, presented at academic meetings and conferences and released to the public through press releases.

This article explores the development of feminist geography in Taiwan within the time frame of last three decades, since the first author became involved in the IGU Gender and Geography Working Group in 1988. It is found that Anglo-American influences have contributed significantly to the feminist movement in Taiwan. An important outcome over time has been the improved visibility of Women and Gender studies courses in academe. As social geographer and cultural anthropologist respectively, the authors trace important dynamics of growth in the academic fields of geography and the social sciences in post-secondary education. Owing to the history and the nature of the discipline of geography, and the structural constraints due to male-domination, there is still a high fence to cross over. Statistics show that a rising number of women in Taiwan have received PhD degrees. The authors note the mitigating development that younger women geographers have taken up administration positions as chairs of four of the five geography departments. However, up to the present time, in academic meetings and conferences, it is unlikely that any presentations on the topic of gender will be offered. The authors encourage younger generations of scholars in Taiwan to continue to look for and connect with feminist geographers abroad, to embrace diversity and inclusiveness in their research, and to help our society to grow in the level of gender equity.

Gender representation within radiology conferences in the UK in 2021

In reality, group work, especially various meetings, exists as a feasible way for people to communicate and collaborate to deal with problems. Various academic meetings and conferences serve as an important part of social process toward scientific knowledge growth. It is significant to understand more about the outcome of those meetings for maintaining the scale of those dialogues and facilitating policy making. In this paper, some augmented analytical methods are applied to a famous scientific forum on frontiers of science and technology in China, Xiangshan Science Conference, to expose some ignored information which is eagerly required by conference organizers, policy makers and researchers. Those methods, such as visualization of expert opinion structure, augmented information support by Web text-mining, clustering of contributed ideas and various analysis about individual’s participation, etc. are integrated into a group argumentation environment (GAE), which aims to support divergent group thinking process for emergence of a ba for knowledge creation and provide a variety of perspectives towards the concerned topics by those addressed conferencing mining techniques.
