- The study focuses on how educational research from pediatric hospital medicine (PHM) conferences is published in journals, looking specifically at the publication rate and time to publication of submitted abstracts.
- Out of 173 abstracts submitted between 2014 and 2017, only 32% were published, with oral presentations having a significantly higher chance of publication compared to poster and rejected abstracts.
- The findings suggest that the type of presentation at conferences can be an early indicator of the likelihood of getting published, making conference participation an essential step in sharing educational research.
