Poll Results: Encore at Original-only Congress
The publication team is eager to submit an abstract to a prestigious congress, but you face a dilemma.

As the publication lead, you need to decide on the best course of action. 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.
