[Publication rate of original papers orally presented at the Journées Françaises de Radiologie 1996].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the present study was to determine the publication rate in Medline-indexed journals of papers originally presented at the Journées Françaises de Radiologie (JFR96).


METHODS
Proceedings from the JFR 96 were reviewed by two observers in conference. A Medline search encompassing 1997-1999 was performed for the lead author of all abstracts of original papers. Publication year and the journal of publication were recorded.


RESULTS
456 oral presentations were analysed, 39 papers were subsequently published corresponding to a publication rate of 8.5%. 10 papers were published in Radiology, 4 in European Radiology and 4 in the Journal de Radiologie, the other 21 in other journals. Publication rate was significantly higher for two sessions: Research session (publication rate was 22%) and Bone and Joint session (publication rate was 16%).


CONCLUSIONS
Less than 10% of abstracts presented at JFR 96 were subsequently published in Medline-indexed journals. This rate is lower than the publication rate of papers presented at other medical meetings.
