The theme for the 18th Annual ISMPP Meeting is “Future Ready”. This embodies a forward-looking mentality encompassing cutting-edge topics, while maintaining a focus on practical applications and adjustments organizations need to make as we move towards more face-to-face reengagement, but in different, more creative ways.
Digital Science are delighted to be exhibiting at this year’s event, and will also be presenting two sessions and a poster as part of the programme. Join us at the Digital Science booth to learn more about Altmetric and Dimensions.

Understanding the long-term impact of COVID-19: Has biomedical research communications been changed for good? – Monday 9 May, 5:15 PM-6:00 PM
The medical communications landscape saw a number of significant changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst these were the dramatic rise of preprints in the biomedical sphere, the speed at which research was cited by policy and guideline documents, and the growing importance of digital opinion leaders in communicating the benefits of research. While there are suggestions that these changes are being expressed in non-COVID medical research, is there evidence that the changes effected by the pandemic have altered research communication for good? Using data from Altmetric and Dimensions, this presentation will explore the evidence of longer-term changes to biomedical research communications and impact, and how this may change future drug development, medical communications, and publication strategy.
