自 2000 年以来，学术急诊医学学会的期刊《学术急诊医学》(AEM) 举办了为期一天的共识会议，以制定推动科学主题发展的研究议程。 AEM 每年 12 期中的一期保留用于这些会议的会议记录。本研究的目的是通过评估会议手稿作者随后收到的联邦研究经费并计算会议论文的引用次数来衡量这些会议的学术生产力。这是 2012 年 8 月和 9 月期间进行的一项横断面研究。对 NIH RePORTER 进行了搜索，以确定 2000 年至 2010 年共识会议问题的作者随后获得的联邦资助。资助的项目被编码为与会议主题相关或无关。所有会议手稿的引用计数均使用 Scopus 和 Google Scholar 进行量化。报告了简单的描述性统计数据。 852 位个人作者在 11 期共识会议上发表了 280 篇论文。 137 位作者 (16%) 获得了 318 个项目的资助。每个会议 22 个主题相关项目（范围 10-97 个项目）的中位数为 20,488,331 美元（范围为 7,779,512-122,918,205 美元）。 Scopus 中每篇论文的平均引用次数 (±SD) 为 15.7 ±20.5，Google Scholar 中为 23.7 ±32.6。共识会议手稿的作者获得了重要的联邦拨款支持，用于与会议主题相关的后续研究。此外，这些会议产生的手稿也经常被引用。致力于研究议程制定的会议似乎是一项学术上有价值的努力。
Since 2000, Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, has presented a one-day consensus conference to generate a research agenda for advancement of a scientific topic. One of the 12 annual issues of AEM is reserved for the proceedings of these conferences. The purpose of this study was to measure academic productivity of these conferences by evaluating subsequent federal research funding received by authors of conference manuscripts and calculating citation counts of conference papers. This was a cross-sectional study conducted during August and September 2012. NIH RePORTER was searched to identify subsequent federal funding obtained by authors of the consensus conference issues from 2000 to 2010. Funded projects were coded as related or unrelated to conference topic. Citation counts for all conference manuscripts were quantified using Scopus and Google Scholar. Simple descriptive statistics were reported. 852 individual authors contributed to 280 papers published in the 11 consensus conference issues. 137 authors (16%) obtained funding for 318 projects. A median of 22 topic-related projects per conference (range 10–97 projects) accounted for a median of $20,488,331 per conference (range $7,779,512–122,918,205). The average (±SD) number of citations per paper was 15.7 ±20.5 in Scopus and 23.7 ±32.6 in Google Scholar. The authors of consensus conference manuscripts obtained significant federal grant support for follow-up research related to conference themes. In addition, the manuscripts generated by these conferences were frequently cited. Conferences devoted to research agenda development appear to be an academically worthwhile endeavor.
