Editorial: Proceedings of the Knee Society: A Knee Society-Journal of Arthroplasty Collaborative Partnership!

It is a distinct privilege for the Journal of Arthroplasty to be awarded the opportunity to publish the Proceedings of The Knee Society going forward. The Knee Society was founded in 1983, with Chitranjan Ranawat as the first president, for education and research in the area of total knee arthroplasty as well as in the pathogenesis and non-arthroplasty treatment of osteoarthritis and other disease processes that lead to end-stage arthritis of the knee. The goal was to have membership based on a proven ability to perform research, teach, and demonstrate exceptional skills as a clinician and surgeon. The membership currently consists of 206 members, including North American, International, and Emeritus members who are internationally recognized thought-leaders, innovators, mentors, researchers, and educators, and who, as was the vision of the Society founders, are committed to promoting outstanding care to patients who have disorders of the knee through innovation, research, and education. Since its conception, the Society has recognized the need for candid exchange of ideas on implant design and surgical techniques. Hence, annually in the fall, the members convene to present and discuss their most current research in the field of arthritis-related knee surgery. Importantly, the Society recognizes the need and desire to educate the global arthroplasty community on current, data-generated implant design concepts and surgical techniques. Specialty Day at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual meeting has been the forum for this exchange since the inception of the Society. As a highlight of that program, three award papers named in honor of three of the founding members: Drs John Insall, Mark Conventry, and Chitranjan Ranawat are presented. The open call for award worthy research papers, in the previous fall, consistently result in a robust number of high-quality submissions from which to choose these prestigious legacy awards. The published Proceedings of The Knee Society have evolved to a publication of papers from the Fall members meeting and the award papers from the following American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Specialty Day open meeting of the Knee Society which is presently co-sponsored with the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. With the ensuing collaborative partnership between the Journal of Arthroplasty and the Knee Society, the intent will be to produce a robust Proceedings of The Knee Society that archives and memorializes the fall members meeting as well as the outstanding competitive award papers presented at the following annual open meeting of the Knee Society. To publish a meaningful (to the international arthroplasty community [ie, clinicians, researchers, and patients]) Proceedings that truly archives the members’ meeting and publishes the following year’s award papers in a timely manner is a daunting challenge. It can only be done with a truly collaborative relationship and effort with a shared purpose. The production of this Proceedings began with the President of the Society, Robert Trousdale, his Program Chairman and Editor of the Proceedings, Rafael J. Sierra, and the Society staff, led by Olga Foley, committing to, and finalizing a program months in advance and engaging the membership to contribute their work to the Proceedings by the required deadline. Dedicated, experienced, and punctual reviewers from the Society and the Journal of Arthroplasty to assure the requirement for high quality relevant scientific research and an experienced production and Editorial Staff were critical. Regular organized communication among Knee Society and Journal of Arthroplasty staff, editors, reviewers, and authors was paramount. This inaugural Proceedings of The Knee Society in Journal of Arthroplasty is the product of this Knee Society-Journal of Arthroplasty collaboration and team effort intended to provide the most current scientific and innovative work of our Knee Society members to the clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and patients in the arthroplasty community. It is the hope that the Knee Society-Journal of Arthroplasty collaborative product is eagerly anticipated annually by Journal of Arthroplasty readership. The quality of this production would not be possible without grants from two non-profit organizations: AAHKS (American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons) and OREF (Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation).

Abstract to publication rate: Do all the papers presented in conferences see the light of being a full publication?

Background:Every year the scientific sessions of Annual National Conference of Indian Psychiatric Society (ANCIPS) are marked by presentation of free papers, posters, and award paper sessions, which are usually meant for presentation of new research which is not yet published. Hence, it is expected that these papers will be published in near future so that the scientific literature is distributed and shared with wider audience.Aim:This paper aims to evaluate the abstract to publication rate of papers presented during ANCIPS in the years 2012–2014.Materials and Methods:For this study, all the free papers, posters, and award papers presented during the ANCIPS of 2012–2014 were listed, and electronic searches were carried out to search for published articles. In addition, one of the authors of papers not found in the electronic searches were contacted through E-mail.Results:A total of 1081 papers were presented during the ANCIPS in the 3 year period under study. Of these, 64 were award papers, 622 were free papers, and 395 were posters. Majority (n = 807; 74.6%) of these could be categorized as research data-based presentations; this was followed by case reports/series (203; 18.8%), review of literature (n = 35; 3.3%), and others (n = 36; 3.3%). Overall, only 27% of the papers were published after at least 5 years of the presentation. Of all the award papers, 69.6% of papers were published, whereas only 26.8% of free oral papers and 22.5% of free posters were published. About half (45.6%) of the papers were published in national journals. In terms of indexing, among those which were published, 62.8% were published in Medline-indexed (PubMed-listed) Journals with a mean impact factor of 1.Conclusion:The present study shows that only 27% of the abstracts presented during the ANCIPS are ultimately published as full text articles in the next 5 years.

Factors Affecting Subsequent Full-text Publication of Papers Presented at the Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics.

To study the factors associated with the subsequent (over next 9 years) full-text publication of papers presented at the 44th National Conference of Indian Academy of Pediatrics (PEDICON), 2007. All papers presented at PEDICON 2007 were searched for subsequent full-text publication over the next 9 years in English-language journals by an internet-based search. The published papers were compared with the conference-abstracts. 74 (16%) of the 450 abstracts presented were subsequently published; 61 (82.4%) in Medline-indexed journals. Majority (50, 67.6%) of the papers was published within the first 36 mo in journals with mean (SD) impact factor of 2.62 (1.63). The factors significantly associated with subsequent publication were papers presented as award papers (P<0.001), those reporting on Interventional trials (P<0.001), and those from medical colleges (P<0.05). On comparison of the conference abstracts with the subsequently published full-papers, 55% had a change in title; authors were changed in 65%, and participants' numbers were dissimilar in 8.6%. There is a need to identify the factors responsible for this low rate of subsequent publication, and interventions to improve it both at institutional and researchers' level.

Guest Editor's Introduction to the Special Section on the IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality 2014

The IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) is the leading venue for publishing the latest Mixed and Augmented Reality research, applications, and technologies. This special section presents significantly extended versions of the five best papers from the IEEE ISMAR 2014 proceedings. Within the past few years, Augmented Reality (AR) has reached a critical mass in both research and commercial applications. It is now becoming truly feasible to use augmented reality to place graphics anywhere at any time. However, although the basic capabilities exist, many open research problems continue. This collection of papers considers underlying issues and technologies. IEEE ISMAR 2014 had 89 paper submissions; each paper was reviewed by at least four experts in the field. An international programcommittee of 15 ARexperts invited reviewers, led discussions, invited a rebuttal by the paper authors and prepared a consensus review. To select the final papers for publication, an online two-day PC meeting was held connecting three continents, where each paper was discussed. Thirty-five papers were accepted either as long or short publications, giving an overall acceptance rate of 40%. An independent Award Committee reviewed the highest- ranked submissions again to determine the awards for Best Paper and Honorable Mention. For this special section, the authors of the award papers were invited to submit an extended version of their conference papers, with a clear focus on additional content that expands the scientific contribution of the original conference paper. A standard TVCG reviewing cycle was initiated in which all papers were reviewed, feedback was provided, and papers were revised to suit. Out of all submitted papers, less than 6% appear in this TVCG Special Section.

2014 Best Paper Award

The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering is pleased to announce that the Editorial Board has chosen “Numerical study of sandbar migration under wave-undertow interaction” by Jinhai Zheng, Chi Zhang, Zeki Demirbilek, and Lihwa Lin, published in the March/April 2014 issue (Vol. 140, No. 2, pp. 146–159), as the 2014 Best Paper Award winner. The selection process for the best paper has resulted in four additional finalists being recognized as 2014 Outstanding Papers: • “Cross-shore redistribution of nourished sand near a breaker bar” by Niels Gjol Jacobsen and Jorgen Fredsoe, published in the March 2014 issue (Vol. 140, No. 2, pp. 125–134). • “New physical insights and design formulas on wave overtopping at sloping and vertical structures” by Jentsje van der Meer and Tom Bruce, published in the November 2014 issue (Vol. 140, No. 6, 04014025). • “Numerical investigation of turbulence modulation by sediment-induced stratification and enhanced viscosity in oscillatory flows” by Xiao Yu, C. E. Ozdemir, Tian-Jian Hsu, and S. Balachandar, published in the March 2014 issue (Vol. 140, No. 2, pp. 160–172). • “Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics numerical modeling of structures impacted by tsunami bores.” Philippe St-Germain, Ioan Nistor, Ronald Townsend, and Tomoya Shibayama, published in the January 2014 issue (Vol. 140, No. 1, pp. 66–81). The Best Paper Award and Outstanding Papers are selected annually from all technical papers, technical notes, and case studies published in a calendar year. The Editorial Board congratulates the authors and thanks them for their submissions.

Knee Society Award Papers Are Highly Cited Works.

Since 1993, The Knee Society has presented three annual awards recognizing the best research papers presented at the annual meetings. To date, no quantitative evaluation has determined whether the selection process identifies the most meritorious papers based on subsequent citations. In the absence of validation of this process, it is unclear whether the journal readership should view the award-winning papers as those with potentially greater impact for the specialty. (1) Are award papers cited both more than nonaward papers published in the same Knee Society proceedings issue of CORR(®) and more than all other knee research papers published in all issues of CORR(®) during any given year? (2) Does the award selection process identify potentially highly influential knee research? Subsequent citations for each award and nonaward paper published in The Knee Society proceedings issue for 2002 to 2008 were determined using the SCOPUS citation index. The citations for all papers on knee surgery published in CORR(®) during the same years were also determined. Mean citations for an award paper were statistically greater than for a nonaward paper: 86 (SD 95; median 55; 95% confidence interval [CI] of the mean, 44-128) versus 33 (SD 30; median 24; 95% CI of the mean, 28-37; p < 0.001). Mean number of citations for award papers was also higher than for all other knee research papers published in nonproceedings issues of CORR(®): 86 (SD 95; median 55; 95% CI of the mean, 44-128) versus 30 (SD 31; median 20; 95% CI for the mean, 25-35; p < 0.001). Twelve of the 22 (54.6%) award papers were in the top five cited papers from the proceedings issue for the respective year versus 24 of the 190 (12.6%) of the nonaward papers (difference in the percentages is 41.9% and the 95% CI for the risk difference is 20.6%-63.3%; p < 0.001). In 3 of 7 years, an award paper was the most cited knee paper published in CORR(®). The selection process for The Knee Society scientific awards identifies potentially influential papers that are likely to be highly cited in future research articles about the knee. The selection process for Knee Society Award Papers appears to identify papers that are potentially influential in the field of knee surgery and are likely to be highly cited in future published articles. As such, these award papers deserve special attention from the readership.

Canadian Association of Radiologists Annual Scientific Meetings: How Many Abstracts Go on to Publication?

PurposeTo determine the percentage of abstracts presented at the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) annual scientific meetings that go on to publication. MethodsRecords of previous CAR meetings from the years 2005-2011 were obtained. An Internet search was performed to determine which abstracts went on to publication. Abstracts were assessed according to exhibit category (Resident Award Papers), educational institution, publishing journal, and time to publication. ResultsOf the 402 abstracts presented, 112 (28%) were published. Overall, an average of 37% of Radiologists-In-Training Presentations, 34% of Scientific Exhibits, and 20% of Educational Exhibits went on to publication. The University of British Columbia and University of Ottawa published the largest number of abstracts (66 and 62, respectively) from the years 2005-2011. The University of Montreal had the largest percentage of abstracts published (42%). The range of publishing journals was wide, but the top publisher was the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (27%). Eighty-three percent of abstracts were published within 3 years of being presented. ConclusionIn total, 28% of all the abstracts presented at the CAR conferences between 2005 and 2011 were published. Further exploration into the reasons and barriers for abstracts not being published may be a next step in future research.
