Abstract
The Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) was created to promote the advancement of skin biology research. The organization hosts a conference annually that allows for the dissemination of basic science knowledge to advance dermatology research to new heights. Our study investigates the publication status of research abstracts presented at SID to determine if publication rates were similar to those of other widely attended conferences in dermatology. We performed a literature search for each abstract presented at the conference in 2020 and found that only 27.6% of abstracts make it to publication. Due to various reasons outlined in this article, publication rates of SID projects are lower than many other dermatology conferences attended. Therefore, conference participants should be aware of how study designs and research topics can influence publication outcomes.
