Scientific congresses play a vital role in sharing new research, fostering collaboration, and advancing specialized disciplines. In forensic radiology and imaging, the annual congresses of the International Society of Forensic Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) serve as a major platform for presenting emerging scientific work. However, the true impact of these presentations depends largely on whether the research progresses from abstract form into full peer-reviewed journal publications.
This study focuses on the conversion rate of abstracts presented at ISFRI annual congresses into published articles. Tracking this transition helps measure scientific productivity, research quality, and the effectiveness of academic meetings in promoting meaningful knowledge dissemination.
Why Abstract-to-Publication Conversion Matters
Abstract presentations often represent early or preliminary research findings. While congress exposure is valuable, full publication ensures that research undergoes rigorous peer review, becomes permanently accessible, and contributes to the global forensic science knowledge base. A high conversion rate reflects strong research practices, robust study design, and sustained academic engagement.
Conversely, low publication rates may indicate challenges such as limited resources, time constraints, negative or inconclusive results, or difficulties navigating the publishing process. Understanding these barriers is essential for improving research outcomes and supporting investigators in forensic imaging.
Key Insights from ISFRI Abstract Outcomes
By analyzing multiple years of ISFRI congress abstracts, researchers can identify:
-
The proportion of abstracts that progress to full publication
-
Average time from presentation to journal publication
-
Preferred journals for published ISFRI research
-
Trends in research themes and methodological quality
These insights offer a clearer picture of how effectively forensic radiology research is being translated into lasting scientific contributions.
Implications for Forensic Radiology and Imaging
Evaluating publication outcomes helps professional societies, academic institutions, and researchers strengthen future scientific programs. It can guide mentorship initiatives, research training, and congress abstract selection criteria. Most importantly, it supports evidence-based growth of forensic radiology and imaging as a recognized and standardized discipline.
Conclusion
The conversion of ISFRI congress abstracts into peer-reviewed publications is more than a bibliometric exercise—it is a measure of scientific maturity and impact. By identifying trends, successes, and limitations in publication outcomes, the forensic imaging community can better promote high-quality research, improve academic visibility, and ensure that important findings reach practitioners, policymakers, and the wider scientific audience.
