  • When I am putting a talk together it would never occur to me not to include a health dose of unpublished data. The only times in my career that I have talked about mostly published data have been when I first started as a postdoc and in the early days of being a PI, when I didn't have enough new data to even make a coherent story, but that accounts for maybe three professional talks out of man
  • s it a fear of being scooped or a penchant for keeping one's ideas close to the chest that promotes the Summary Talk?
  • I think it's field dependent. Personally, I can rarely get enough information from a talk to know whether to believe a result or not. This means that unpublished data usually ends up with me thinking "maybe, maybe not".
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • (A good talk like this has enough of a citation on the slide that I can jot down where to go if I want to know details on any particular result.)
  • I'm in a highly competitive biomed field, and I was taught never to present something unless it was either submitted or ready to be submitted.
  • I don't really spend any time worrying about being scooped because I collect my own data.
  • Why look at a poster or talk of 100% published work, I've already seen the stuff in a journal to start with
  • Final year materials chemist = keeping cards close to my chest. Once bitten, never again.
  • In neuro, I'd say that at smaller conferences and less high-profile talks at big conferences (i.e. not keynotes or featured lectures), the bulk of what you're hearing is unpublished. ALL posters are unpublished--in fact, I think (?) it's a rule at SfN that the content of posters can't be published already.
  • In my field I'd guess that most talks include data that is in press or at some close to publication sta
  • A big name should be more generous, but then again they do have to save guard the career of the student/postdoc who generated the data. Also the star or keynote speaker is expected to address a wider audience, and make their talk relevant to the overall theme of the conference.
  • In my (experimental) social science, most conferences explicitly say that you cannot submit to present already published or even accepted work.
  • In my field (Astronomy), I'd say 95% of the talks are about unpublished data.

    A blog post & comments on what's preferred in conference presentations: published or unpublished data. Interesting.
