WEEKLY #MEDCOMMS WEBINAR
Ensuring Integrity in Scientific Publications in the face of AI
Venue: Global
Date: 12.00 midday-13.00 UK time, Wednesday 22 May 2024
Instances of peer-reviewed publications now appearing in their final published form with obvious AI prompts still included in the text, have sparked lively social media discussion about the basic integrity of the scientific publications process. Is it in fact fit for purpose? In this webinar, we will talk about the practicalities involved in publishing a peer-review paper and who is involved in what steps. We'll discuss how AI tools are already being used by authors, other contributors, peer-reviewers and the production teams themselves. We'll highlight the pitfalls and we'll think about how these tools can be built into the process while maintaining the high level of trust in the integrity of scientific publishing that is so important for everyone. On our panel we will be joined by Laura Dormer (Becaris Publishing), Hamish McDougall (SAGE Publishing) and Jonathan Patience (Taylor and Francis). And we answer questions from the audience.

IN-PERSON #MEDCOMMS FORUM
Compliance, Regulatory Challenges and Event Innovation
Venue: Mereside Atrium, Alderley Park, Congleton Road, Nether Alderley, Macclesfield, SK10 4TG
Date: 15.00-18.30 UK time, Wednesday 10 July 2024
Increasingly innovative ways to communicate and distribute information around live events, including pre- and post-event materials, can trigger additional challenges from pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks. How can agencies involved in events best assess and meet these challenges in differing areas of responsibility, such as Logistics, Materials and Digital production, Scientific content, On-line accessibility restrictions?
Any live event has at its core fixed dates when things need to happen. Yet time scales for approval processes vary greatly. A comprehensive knowledge of compliance requirements and anticipation of their time scales for sign off are vital if delivery is to be stress free and successful. And where any innovative communication concepts are proposed informed anticipation of any regulatory issues is necessary.
Join us for lively discussion and networking opportunities with specialists from across #MedComms. Everyone's welcome.
