What Would You Do?
To Use AI or To Not Use AI…for Manuscript Development?
You are a researcher working on a groundbreaking clinical study that could potentially lead to a significant advancement in the treatment of a complex disease. Some members of the research team want to use artificial intelligence (AI) to develop the first draft of the manuscript. Other team members are concerned about accuracy, interpretation, and potential bias in the content. 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.
