GPP2: Good Publication Practices for Sponsored Medical Research: Elevating the Integrity of Scientific Communications

Dr. Marvin Moser from Yale University School of Medicine moderated the topic "GPP2: Good Publication Practices for Sponsored Medical Research: Elevating the Integrity of Scientific Communications" with Bryce McMurray from Wolters Kluwer, Carol Sanes-Miller, MS, CMPP, from AstraZeneca, LP, and Yvonne Yarker, PhD, CMPP from Scientific Connexions, and Treasurer of ISMPP participating.

The discussion focused primarily on:

1. organized efforts to elevate the perception of collaborative medical publishing of industry sponsored research,
2. transparency of authorship of medical journal articles, ghost writing and scientific writing assistance,
3. duplicate publication of clinical trial results,
4. integrity of journal articles sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry,
5. omission of relevant data which might indicate bias, and
6. appropriate disclosure of conflicts of interest.
