Neurology Research Day Presentations by Residents: From Abstract to Publication
好色先生, Research, and Methodology

To assess the abstract-to-publication rate of works presented by residents at the annual neurology research symposium in an academic medical center. 

Research is an important part of the educational experience for neurology residents, and many programs encourage their residents to present their scholarly works at local and national conferences. While presenting at symposiums is an effective first step to showcasing one’s work, subsequent full publication in a peer-reviewed journal has greater potential to have an impact in the scientific community and in clinical practice. We examine data from the first few years of our institution’s experience with an annual neurology research day. 

Abstracts from 2016 to 2019 were identified from our institution’s annual research day records. Data collected included the type of study, sample size, neurology subspecialty, and statistical significance of the study. Authorship, title, and keywords were used to identify if the work in the abstract was subsequently published as a full article in the PubMed database. 
A total of 46 abstracts were identified, and 10 (21.7%) were published as full articles in PubMed-indexed journals. The median time to publication was 19.5 months, and the median impact factor was 3.6.  The most common areas of investigation were (total number; pediatric studies) were stroke (11; 3), epilepsy (7; 4), neuromuscular (6; 2), general neurology (5; 2) and demyelinating disease (5). Every field of neurology was represented. The limited sample size precluded further subgroup analysis of factors that may be associated with full-text publication. 
Our limited single-institution study suggests that there is room for improvement with regards to full-text publication of resident research abstracts. Elucidating the barriers to publication for residents can provide insights into this phenomenon and guide the development of measures to increase abstract-to-publication rate in the future.
