From Presentation to Paper: Assessment of Successful Abstract Publications in Emergency Medicine Over a Five-Year Period.

presentations are a mechanism to present and discuss up-to-date research with attendees. However, dissemination of research findings is limited when relying upon conference presentations in isolation. While some conference proceedings may be published or available online, they are not as easily found as peer-reviewed publications and many are not indexed in major search databases.1 Additionally, abstracts often provide limited details about study methodology, which can make it challenging to adequately assess the study limitations. This can impact the understanding of current research in our field and lead to publication bias in systematic reviews if abstracts are missed or excluded.
