Abstract:
Presentation of research work is an important first step toward effective scientific communication of the research results. To determine the current puhlication patterns of the paper presented at the annual fall congress of the Korean Orthopaedic Association, we analysed 357 orally presented ahstracts at the 38th annual fall congress of the Korean Orthopaedic Asssociation which was held in 1994. This search revealed that full-length articles of 156 ahstracts (44%) were puhlished in the Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Asssociation (121 ahstracts, 34%) and the Journals asssociated with the Korean Orthopaedic Asssociation (35 ahstracts, I 0%). The number of published papers was greatest in fracture part, followed by spine part, hip part, etc. It took ahout 13 months mean interval to publish at journal since oral presented date. The puhlication rate 44% was relatively low compared with the reports of various foreign disciplines. So endeavors to increase publication rates of orally presented papers will he needed.
