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.

Upcoming Webinar - Statistics for Medical Writers

AMWA is pleased to bring you the first webinar of 2026. Presented by Dr Richard Kay, this webinar will give you a clear, logical structure for thinking about statistical methodology in pharmaceutical R&D. You'll be introduced to methods used in different settings, which are driven by the endpoint type, with a particular focus on binary (odds ratios, relative risks) and time to event (Kaplan-Meier curves, hazard ratios) endpoints. Ideas behind p-values, confidence intervals, and powering a study to detect important levels of effect will be covered. Each concept will be illustrated with case studies.
