Fate of award winning papers at annual conference of Indian Academy of Pediatrics: a 13 years experience
Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the rate of publication of research papers winning awards at the annual pediatric conference of Indian Academy of Pediatrics. Secondary objective was to identify the factors facilitating their publication, if any. Overall, 75 papers were awarded between 1995 and 2007; of these, 28 (37%) were subsequently published till January 2011. Papers originating from North India, medical colleges, and those with an experimental design had higher chances of subsequent publication.
