Publication Rate Research Articles

Publication rates of abstracts presented at American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons annual open and closed conferences: 2015-2019

BackgroundThe annual meetings hosted by the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) present the latest pre-publication literature in shoulder and elbow surgery, facilitating early dissemination of novel findings that impact clinical decision making. Evaluating the publication rate of presented abstracts at ASES conferences becomes crucial in assessing the quality of research showcased, as these presentations often precede the peer-review process. MethodsThe ASES conference programs from 2015-2019 were reviewed to identify presented abstracts. For each abstract, the title, author(s), conference year, and meeting type (open versus closed) were recorded. The names of the author(s) of each abstract were searched in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to determine if there was an associated published manuscript. For each identified manuscript, the title, author(s), date of publication, publishing journal, impact factor of the publishing journal (IF), level of evidence (LOE), and number of citations were recorded. ResultsA total of 316 abstracts were presented as podium lectures at ASES open and closed meetings between 2015 and 2019. Within three years of presentation, 240 (75.9%) of the presented abstracts resulted in publication. There was an increase in the proportion of abstracts resulting in publication within three years of the presentation from 2015-2019 (R=0.8733, p=0.053). Overall, the proportion of presented abstracts that went on to publication in peer-reviewed journals also increased (R=0.8907, p=0.043). Manuscripts of abstracts presented at open meetings had a shorter time to publication (8.78 versus 11.82 months; p=0.0160) and were cited more often (40.89 versus 30.11, p=0.0099) than those presented at closed meetings. ConclusionThere has been an increase in the publication rate of abstracts presented at ASES annual meetings in the study period. Published manuscripts of abstracts presented at ASES open conferences were published faster, and were cited more often, than closed conferences. ASES conferences allow for the presentation of high-quality pre-publication literature in shoulder and elbow surgery.

Evaluation of the Scientific Production in the Field of General Practice and Family Medicine in Portugal

The Portuguese publications in the field of General Practice and Family Medicine have not yet been assessed in bibliometric studies. The aim of this study was to analyze that production between 2012 and 2022. The Web of Science Core Collection was used to gather the number of articles, journals and citations obtained; the Journal Citation Reports to obtain the Impact Factor and quartile of journals; and Scimago Journal & Country Rank, for the comparison of data with other European countries. The search was based on the following query: "usf OR unidade de Saude Familiar OR centro de Saude OR ACeS OR medicina geral familiar OR Gen Practice Family SAME Portugal", and a time window between 2012 and 2022 was defined. The study considered the following quantitative indicators: total number of publications, typology, language, affiliation, co-authors, geographical distribution, thematic areas, and the number of publications/inhabitant and publications/physician from European countries; the qualitative indicators selected were the Impact Factor (IF), the quartile and the number of citations. Between 2012 and 2022, the national scientific production had an average annual growth rate of 36.6%. Of 389 publications, 73.8% were 'Articles' and 11.8% were 'Review Articles', predominantly in English (88.4%). The fields of 'General Internal Medicine' (24.7%) and 'Public Environmental Health' (14.9%) had the highest publication rates among the journals. The 389 publications received 5354 citations, for an average of 13.76 citations per article, and the average yearly citation growth was 115%. According to IF, 22.5% of the 222 journals belonged to Q4, 27.5% to Q3, 29.7% to Q2 and 20.3% to Q1, and therefore no significant bias regarding the journals where Portuguese doctors publish was observed. The bibliometric analysis allowed us to examine the evolution of the scientific production in the field of Portuguese General Practice and Family Medicine by observing an increasing publication trend and with a high potential for publication growth.

Objective: This paper reviews the evolving trends and epidemiology of CNS infections in Pakistan over four decades, exploring pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment approaches through systematic review and meta-analysis.Methodology: A comprehensive research study was conducted from August 2021 to May 2022 at the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of the Punjab, Lahore. It involved a literature review and meta-analysis of CNS infections in Pakistan from 1980 to 2022. This study estimates the burden of CNS infectious diseases, analyzing 183 articles. Approximately 100 studies used cerebrospinal fluid as a diagnostic specimen, while 83 studies used extra-ventricular drainage, meeting inclusion criteria.Results: The highest numbers of studies were conducted in 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021, indicating an increasing focus on this area. Karachi had the highest publication rate. Bacterial agents accounted for 69% of cases, affecting both children (60%) and adults (72.2%). Males comprised 65% of the affected population. Low to middle-in- come patients with limited education were prevalent. Common symptoms included headache, nausea, neck stiffness, fever, seizures, and photosensitivity. Meningitis was the most prevalent type (55%), followed by subdural empyema (51.4%) and brain abscesses (41%). Major pathogens included Streptococcus pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterococcus faecium, and Haemophilus influenzae, Viruses, fungi, and parasites were also involved. Many patients exhibited stages 3 and 4 on the MRC Breathlessness scale. These trends emphasize the importance of understanding CNS infections in Pakistan, focusing on causes, clinical presentations, and pathogensinvolved.Conclusion: This review highlights the need for improved training, resources, and high quality care. Bacterial CNS infections continue to remain a significant challenge in the country.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ORTHOPAEDIC RESIDENCY AND RESEARCH DURING THE PANDEMIC?

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The pandemic imposed drastic changes in our social and professional routine. Professionally at all levels our hospital tasks were changed and prioritized. Surgeons and residents were deployed on rotations to fields other than their expertise in orthopaedics. Health-care education received major changes in these challenging times, and students did face difficulties in receiving education, as well as training due to limited clinical and surgical exposure.In response to the WHO regulations, most of the teaching centres and hospitals worldwide have adopted the web-based teaching and learning model to continue the education and training of orthopaedic residents. These results brought significant changes to the training experience in orthopaedic surgery in combination with the fact that clinical duty hours and case volume were substantially reduced.In what concerns orthopaedic journal publications, the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a decline in the annual publication rate for the first time in over 20 years. Although not uniform, the reduction was most likely due to multifactorial causes.Regarding the appraisal at the end of training, at the Orthopaedic European Board Examination we were able to verify that the outcome at the written part 1 exam was good, equivalent to the outcome prior to the pandemic. However the oral viva was much worse, probably due to the fact that residents skipped much of the clinical and surgical teaching and exposure during 2020 and 2021. At the end of training, theoretical/factual knowledge was good but poor from the clinical practical experience.

Methodological Quality and Publication of Doctoral Dissertations in Education: An Evaluative Study of Ten Years of K-12 Doctoral Dissertations in the United States

Aim/Purpose: Despite an increase in the numbers of K-12 educators pursuing doctoral degrees, it is unclear if the field of education has been significantly impacted by the research resulting from their doctoral dissertations. Accordingly, the quality of doctoral programs and dissertations and rate of publication after defense, warrants examination. Background: There have long been discussions regarding concerns about the quality of doctoral dissertations that come in concert with an increase in degrees awarded. This paper presents findings from a study examining dissertation quality for K-12 education doctorates awarded over a ten-year period in the United States. Methodology: The researchers randomly selected and evaluated the methodological quality of more than 500 dissertations during the last ten years from the Proquest dissertation database using a rubric adapted from Ronau et al. (2014). Using this rubric, the team described the quality of dissertations with respect to sampling, design, and validity. Contribution: A new rubric was developed and tested to assess the quality of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. These results provided large-scale data on dissertation quality that may be used to guide doctoral programs in implementing program changes. Findings: Although the majority of the dissertations studied used qualitative methods of inquiry, quantitative research had significantly higher quality scores. Regardless of the methods used, many studies failed to employ rigorous validity controls. Recommendations for Practitioners: Doctoral programs may wish to make use of these results to improve programming, particularly in methods courses. These results may also be used to guide dissertation advisors and dissertation committee members, along with increasing publication rates among doctoral students. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers may wish to extend this study by looking more closely at the methodological quality in specific subject areas. Research is also needed to improve the rubric developed for this study further and to determine other metrics of impact beyond publication. Impact on Society: Stronger methods sections may lead to more publications of dissertation studies, which can improve impact on educational practice and evidence-based decision-making. Future Research: Future research should assess the quality of research in the context of usefulness, impact on practice beyond publication, and topic currency. Further, the motives behind publishing dissertation work in fields that do not require publication should be examined.

Impact of redefining statistical significance on P-hacking and false positive rates: An agent-based model.

In recent years, concern has grown about the inappropriate application and interpretation of P values, especially the use of P<0.05 to denote "statistical significance" and the practice of P-hacking to produce results below this threshold and selectively reporting these in publications. Such behavior is said to be a major contributor to the large number of false and non-reproducible discoveries found in academic journals. In response, it has been proposed that the threshold for statistical significance be changed from 0.05 to 0.005. The aim of the current study was to use an evolutionary agent-based model comprised of researchers who test hypotheses and strive to increase their publication rates in order to explore the impact of a 0.005 P value threshold on P-hacking and published false positive rates. Three scenarios were examined, one in which researchers tested a single hypothesis, one in which they tested multiple hypotheses using a P<0.05 threshold, and one in which they tested multiple hypotheses using a P<0.005 threshold. Effects sizes were varied across models and output assessed in terms of researcher effort, number of hypotheses tested and number of publications, and the published false positive rate. The results supported the view that a more stringent P value threshold can serve to reduce the rate of published false positive results. Researchers still engaged in P-hacking with the new threshold, but the effort they expended increased substantially and their overall productivity was reduced, resulting in a decline in the published false positive rate. Compared to other proposed interventions to improve the academic publishing system, changing the P value threshold has the advantage of being relatively easy to implement and could be monitored and enforced with minimal effort by journal editors and peer reviewers.

Research productivity on spontaneous intracranial hypotension: A bibliometric analysis

IntroductionSpontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an important cause of devastating headaches and caused by CSF-leaks in the spine. Research questionThe aim of this analysis was to gain an overview of the progress of research on SIH over time. The global publication landscape relating to SIH was analyzed and comparisons between regions were made. Material and methodsA bibliometric analysis was performed by searching for research articles on SIH in PubMed published between 1983 and 2022. Countries responsible for the publications were ranked by the sum of citations. An average annual growth rate was calculated and the density of SIH publications per 100 000 physicians was determined. ResultsWe identified 974 articles. In 1983 only one SIH patient was reported; in 2021 the number of patients had increased to 4230. The average annual growth rate of SIH publications during this period was 12.7%. The most common publication type were case reports (n = 570). The most common medical specialty of the first author was neurology (n = 251) followed by neurosurgery (n = 250) and radiology (n = 191). Although most publications originated from the United States of America (USA), South Korea had the highest density of SIH investigators (37.86 publications per 100 000 medical doctors). The most cited paper (296 citations) was published in 2006 in JAMA (USA). Discussion and conclusionResearch on SIH has increased exponentially over the past four decades. The international community of SIH researchers is growing, and with it the opportunities for global networks involved in research, treatment, and patient education.

Interest in antibiotic pharmacokinetic modelling in the context of optimising dosing and reducing resistance: bibliometric analysis.

In the era of problems with resistant bacteria strains, pharmacokinetic (PK) modelling offers ways to optimise antibiotic therapy and minimise the risk of resistance development. This bibliometric study aimed to investigate trends in PK modelling stu-dies. The goal was to provide researchers with comprehensive insight and identify future needs. We used Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace to analyse Web of Science articles on antibiotic PK modelling from 1983 to March 2023. We analysed 968 papers following the inclusion criteria and built a keywords co-occurrence map and timeline. The average annual growth rate of subject-related publications was 35.56% between 1983 and 2022, maintaining a continuous upward trend. Roberts J.A., Lipman J., and Wallis S.C. are the three most productive and impactful authors (82, 57, 34 articles, and h-index of 30, 25, 15, respectively). The United States leads in this field of research (29.13% of papers). The most relevant affiliations are the University of Queensland, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and Monash University. The top three most productive and impactful journals are Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, and International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents (181, 83, 47 articles and h-index of 42, 30, 18, respectively). Most articles by keyword clustered on meropenem, vancomycin, and amikacin. Moreover, therapeutic drug monitoring, resistance, antibiotic dosing, target attainment, the intensive care unit, and paediatrics are the most trending aspects. Given the results of this study, we expect to see a steady increase in interest in exploiting the potential of PK modelling for optimising antibiotic therapy.

Investigating the influencing factors of vaccination decisions for newly developed and established vaccines: a comparative study based on latent class logit models in China.

The factors influencing vaccination decision-making for newly developed vaccines may be similar to and different from those for established vaccines. Understanding these underlying differences and similarities is crucial for designing targeted measures to promote new vaccines against potential novel viruses. This study aims to compare public vaccination decisions for newly developed and established vaccines and to identify the differences and similarities in the influencing factors. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted on 1,509 representatives of the general population in China to collect data on preferences for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza vaccines, representing the newly developed and established vaccines, respectively. The latent class logit model was used to identify latent classes within the sample, allowing for an analysis of the factors distinctly influencing choices for both types of vaccines. Participants valued similar attributes for both vaccines. However, concerns about sequelae were more significant for the newly developed vaccine, while effectiveness was prioritized for the established vaccine. Class membership analysis revealed these differences and similarities were significantly correlated with age, health, yearly household income, acquaintances' vaccination status, and risk perception. The study highlights the need for tailored communication strategies and targeted vaccination interventions. For the newly developed vaccines, addressing concerns about side effects is more crucial. For long-standing vaccines, emphasizing their effectiveness can enhance uptake more significantly. Engaging healthcare providers and community influencers is essential for both vaccines to increase public confidence and vaccination rates. Clear communication and community engagement are critical strategies for addressing public concerns and misinformation, particularly during periods of heightened concern.

Factors Associated With the Conversion of Oral Abstracts to Journal Publication After Presentation at the Annual American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Conference: 2015 to 2019

The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) oral abstract publication rate (80.7%) is currently the highest reported for any national foot and ankle society conference to date. Factors associated with the conversion of an abstract to a full text journal publication, as well as barriers to the conversion have been previously assessed for the ACFAS 2010 to 2014. The purpose of the present study was to re-assess factors associated with the journal publication, and time to publication of oral abstracts from the ACFAS 2015 to 2019. Databases containing abstract information were procured, and predictor variables were categorized as either abstract, or author specific. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U-Test, Fisher's exact test, chi-square test of independence, or Spearman's rank correlation. Multivariable logistic regression, and generalized linear regression models were utilized to analyze predictor variables. Projects from academic institutions (p = 0.001), by attending faculty (p = 0.012), with formal research training (p = 0.035) were more likely achieve journal publication following conference presentation, in less time. The abstract/author specific variables were the only significant predictors of publication/time to publication, although trends with respect to other variables were identified (region of the college, funding). The present study further broadens our understanding on the factors associated with successful conversion of an oral abstract to journal publication following conference presentation. The associations and trends identified lend credence to previous studies, while also helping to form a foundation for meaningful discussion(s) on how best to aim the colleges research efforts moving forward.

Publication Rate of Papers Extracted From the Medical Residency and Master’s Degree Theses of Guilan University of Medical Sciences From 2008 to 2018

Background: research theses can have a significant impact on the development of applied sciences, especially when their results are presented to the public. There are few studies about publishing papers based on residency and master’s theses. Objective: to determine publishing papers based on residency and master’s theses in Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) during 2008-2018. Methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study retrieved information on residency and master’s theses from 2008 to 2018. Then searched international and national medical databases according to the title of theses, keywords, and the names of supervisors, consultants, and students. Results: 449 (58. %) papers were published from 774 theses. 41.2%, 11.8%, 0.44% and, 46.56% were indexed in type one, two, three and, other types of scientific indexes respectively. 98.66% of papers were original articles. 383 (85.3%) of theses did not have statisticians’ consultants. And the maximum median time from defending theses to the publication of a paper was two years. Conclusion: publication of papers increased at GUMS compared to the past, and more than fifty percent were indexed in scientific indexes types one and two. However, associated factors with the publishing papers process should be surveyed.

Publication Barriers of Oral Abstracts Presented at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons: 2015-2019

The journal publication rate for oral abstracts presented at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) is currently the highest reported for any national foot and ankle society, to date (80.7%). Conversion rates for abstracts presented at national society meetings has long served as an indirect proxy for the quality of the content presented. However, it is unclear why some abstracts ultimately fail to achieve publication. The purpose of the present study was to assess the publication barriers of oral abstracts from ACFAS: 2015–2019. Unpublished oral abstracts were procured from a database. A questionnaire was distributed to presenting authors to determine the current status of the abstract, as well as the reasons for the failure to achieve journal publication. Of the 22 oral abstracts that failed to achieve publication, 10 questionnaires were completed. At the time of the survey, none of the abstracts had been submitted for publication. An insufficient amount of time (30%), responsibility tasked to a co-author (30%), low perceived likelihood of acceptance (30%), and low perceived priority (10%), were citied by authors. The present study broadens our understanding regarding the barriers to the conversion of oral abstracts from ACFAS. Projects led by trainees accounted for 2/3′s of the unpublished abstracts; in some cases, the same author accounted for more than 1 unpublished abstract over subsequent years. The onus is on directors to ensure their trainees receive adequate research mentorship and disseminate clinically meaningful findings presented at ACFAS to a broader audience by journal publication.

Worldwide research history and trends on Blockchain applications in education: A bibliometric analysis, 2017-2022

Academic scholars have been studying Blockchain technology since 2017. As a result, the progression of this technology has drawn interest from researchers in various research fields, including education. Because of this tendency, it is imperative that the existing literature be thoroughly reviewed to assist researchers in identifying gaps for future studies. Thus, this study used bibliometric analysis to assess the current research trend on blockchain applications in education. This study compiled all published works on Blockchain in education as of January 8th, 2023, from the Scopus database. The data was integrated using Publish or Perish software, and data visualization was done using VOSviewer. Additionally, Microsoft Excel was used to analyze the data. Fifty-one documents were retrieved in total based on the search results. In particular, from 2018 to 2019, the growth rate of publications in educational Blockchain increased dramatically. Most of the publications were written in English and published in journals and conference proceedings. Computer science has dominated research on educational Blockchain, and most research was done in India. The analysis also revealed that the most commonly used terms, "blockchain" and "blockchain in education," correspond to the main areas of study that have been done on the educational Blockchain. Unfortunately, the assessment component has received very little attention from previous educational blockchain studies. In addition to outlining the development of the scientific literature on the subject, this study also highlights areas of current research interest and possible future research prospects.
