Abstract
Background: The scientific meetings disseminate the results of the latest research. However, if the presented work is not published later, the information is lost. Objective: To know and compare the fate of the abstracts produced by our nephrology community that were submitted to the Instituto Mexicano de Investigaciones Nefrológicas (IMIN) and American Society of Nephrology (ASN) meetings. Methods: All abstracts presented by Mexican authors to the ASN from 2011 to 2019 and the IMIN from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed. We captured their publication rate, time to publication, journals, and the impact factor. Publications in both cases were analyzed through PubMed and Scopus databases. Results: Of the 382 works submitted at ASN by Mexican authors from 2011 to 2019, 141 (36.5%; p < 0.001 vs. IMIN) were published. The percentage increases if only accepted abstracts are included (141 of 265, 45%). The format of the presentation affected the final publication rate, which is 81% for free communications, 41.4% for posters, and 18.6% for non-accepted works. In contrast, of the 641 works presented from the 2018–2019 annual meetings of the IMIN, 8% (n = 52) have been published. Conclusion: The publication rate of the ASN abstracts presented by Mexico is like that seen globally for international meetings. However, the publication rate of works presented in our national meeting is very low. ©The authors ©Revista de Investigación Clínica ©Elsevier.
