What Would You Do?
Submit an Encore Abstract to an Original Abstract-Only Congress?
The publication team is eager to submit an abstract to a prestigious congress, but you face a dilemma. The congress explicitly states that it accepts original content only, whereas the publication team wants to develop an abstract based on data from three previously shared abstracts/publications. As the publication lead, you need to decide on the best course of action. What Would You Do?
Proceed with Data & Author Changes to a 2-year-old Manuscript?
You are the medical writer on a real-world evidence (RWE) manuscript that was initiated 2 years ago. At first draft stage, the project was put on hold. The lead author would like to perform additional analyses and include one of their colleagues as an author. Meanwhile, the new project owner/client would like to finalize and submit the article as soon as possible. What would you do?
In our role as medical publication professionals, we may occasionally encounter situations in which it is not obvious how to ensure good publication practice. Have you ever wished you could consult the ISMPP membership for guidance when these situations arise? Here’s your opportunity!
What Would You Do? is a section of ISMPP Insider that presents case scenarios as an educational tool for medical publication professionals. The section provides a case scenario to ponder, and readers are invited to participate in a poll by selecting one of the listed solutions. Readers can also submit their thoughts on the scenario anonymously. The poll results, plus educational insights, are posted in a later issue for readers to digest.
