Publications are part of the bigger communication plan which also covers PR, scientific dialog, promotion, training, and internal communications. Writing publications should follow an overall strategy for the compound or therapeutic area. They are necessary for further steps like having promotional material, HTA submissions, scientific/medical dialog, etc.
They should not be an afterthought or seen as a pure incentive.
In this episode, Jenny Devenport and I talk about these publications as a critical part of the scientific process We also cover how creating these helps establish credibility with various stakeholders.
We also discuss the following points:
1. Publication is a critical part of the scientific process,
- It is important to communicate the results

2. Helps establish credibility with various stakeholders,
3. Enable scientific discussions in the field
4. Advance science in that disease and in general
A. Types of publications:

Join The Effective Statistician LinkedIn group
This group was set up to help each other to become more effective statisticians. We’ll run challenges in this group, e.g. around writing abstracts for conferences or other projects. I’ll also post into this group further content.
I want to help the community of statisticians, data scientists, programmers and other quantitative scientists to be more influential, innovative, and effective. I believe that as a community we can help our research, our regulatory and payer systems, and ultimately physicians and patients take better decisions based on better evidence.
I work to achieve a future in which everyone can access the right evidence in the right format at the right time to make sound decisions.
When my kids are sick, I want to have good evidence to discuss with the physician about the different therapy choices.
When my mother is sick, I want her to understand the evidence and being able to understand it.
When I get sick, I want to find evidence that I can trust and that helps me to have meaningful discussions with my healthcare professionals.
I want to live in a world, where the media reports correctly about medical evidence and in which society distinguishes between fake evidence and real evidence.
Let’s work together to achieve this.
