CHALLENGE
A pharmaceutical company developing a new molecule faced a complex challenge in managing scientific content across multiple stakeholders. Internal scientific leads and external collaborators generated research data intended for abstract submissions to congresses and manuscript submissions to journals, but the company lacked a streamlined process to collate this information and prepare content for submission. Without a coordinated approach, over 50 authors and vendors risked missed deadlines and misaligned content, potentially delaying dissemination of critical scientific findings.
SOLUTION
CMK Select assigned a dedicated Publications Project Manager to partner with internal stakeholders and a content development vendor. The project manager organized a comprehensive publications plan and oversaw key processes, including author agreements and ongoing communications with both internal and external contributors. Using online publication review tools, CMK tracked outlines, drafts, and final content to ensure adherence to congress and journal guidelines. By managing 20+ submissions simultaneously, the project manager enabled efficient collaboration while maintaining quality, compliance, and strategic alignment.
