The International Society for Medical Publication Professionals (ISMPP) and the Medical Publishing Insights and Practices (MPIP) initiative have launched a new web page highlighting various MPIP initiatives (http://www.mpip-initiative.org). The web page is projected as a valuable resource providing information on the overall MPIP initiative, updating viewers on new or planned activities, and providing access to previous MPIP publications and resources.
MPIP was founded in 2008 by members of the pharmaceutical industry and ISMPP to elevate trust, transparency, and integrity in publishing industry-sponsored studies. MPIP is a collaboration co-sponsored by Amgen, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and ISMPP. The goals of MPIP are to improve understanding of the issues and challenges faced by journals in publishing industry-sponsored research, and promote more effective partnerships between sponsors and journals to raise standards in medical publishing and expand access to data.
According to Bernadette Mansi, a MPIP Steering Committee member, the MPIP initiative provides more practical solutions in an environment of open collaboration and trust. The MPIP initiative won the Communique Trust and Reputation Award at the recently held Communique Awards in London. The Communique awards recognise excellence and best practice in healthcare communications that ultimately deliver real improvements in healthcare, do the right thing for patients, build trust with stakeholders and enhance industry reputation.
