Fig. 3From: A multivariate model for successful publication of intensive care medicine randomized controlled trials in the highest impact factor journals: the SCOTI scoreSCOTI score. a SCOTI score calculation worksheet. SCOTI score: sample size, centers, outcome, topic, and international score. b Probability of publication in high-impact general journals compared to high-impact critical care journals according to the SCOTI score: individual prediction. The plot shows predicted (orange curve) and observed (blue dots) probabilities of publication in high-impact general journals according to the SCOTI score. c Probability of publication in high-impact medical journals compared to high-impact critical care journals according to the SCOTI score: three categories. The plot shows observed probabilities of publication in high-impact general journals according to three groups of SCOTI score: “Low probability of success”, “Intermediate probability of success” and “High probability of success”Back to article page
