AMWA Supports the Joint Statement on Medical Publications

We are delighted to share the recent Joint Position Statement from our international counterparts AMWA, EMWA and ISMPP on Medical Publications, Preprints, and Peer Reviews which was published in CMRO. The statement asserts that the integrity of published scientific and medical research must be protected, especially in times of a health crisis like COVID-19. .

Medical researchers often feel significant pressure to publish relevant findings as quickly as possible during a health crisis, and the statement provides recommendations and a checklist to ensure quality control and robust processes remain.
