Table 1 Summary of main results
From: Estimating the prevalence of text overlap in biomedical conference abstracts
Highly similar abstracts identified by eTBLAST | 5 samples of 100 abstract pairs for manual review | Abstracts verified by expert classification | Confidence interval (95%) | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
20,857 (out of 144,149) | Text overlap (same meeting) | 126 (12.6%) | 10.6 to 14.8% | Figure S1 |
Text overlap (different meeting) | 223 (22.3%) | 19.8 to 25.0% | Figure S2 | |
Text overlap (Medline) | 238 (23.8%) | 21.2 to 26.6% | Figure S3 | |
Plagiarized | 9 (2.3%) | 1.2 to 4.8% | Figure S5 |
