shared by Amy West on 04 Aug 11 - No Cached

When I am putting a talk together it would never occur to me not to include a health dose of unpublished data.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 This means that unpublished data usually ends up with me thinking "maybe, maybe not".

(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

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less high-profile talks at big conferences (i.e. not keynotes or featured lectures), the bulk of what you're hearing is unpublished. ALL posters are unpublished--in fact, I think (?)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.

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In my field (Astronomy), I'd say 95% of the talks are about unpublished data.

A blog post & comments on what's preferred in conference presentations: published or unpublished data.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

This paper uses, among other sources, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPS data that covers 1960-2009 to analyze just 2 years of data. The authors do cite the whole CPS, but you have to read the paper to see which bits of that set matter to this paper. The bulk of the paper itself is their explanation of the various statistical methods they used to support their conclusions. The data is neither novel or unique to them. Their analysis however, may be novel and is certainly unique to them. They also provide some technical documentation, e.g. we did x with SPSS. So, ideally, it would be nice to have a citation to the paper, to the 2 year subset of data relevant to it and a citation to the entire BLS CPS data. This is not agricultural economics, but I think that pretty similar patterns will be found there too.
