  • VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS
Scientific publications remain the principal way that biopharmaceutical organizations relay critical clinical trial data to key external stakeholders such as physicians and payers. Data from different phases of drug development are the earliest ways these stakeholders learn about new products and the information serves as the building blocks for how a new product is positioned in the marketplace.

Global scientific publication groups face increasing pressure for improved transparency and data disclosure. Consequently, global publications leaders find themselves in a balancing act—ensuring both scientific credibility and commercial viability. This study investigates the core aspects of the scientific publication function: structure, strategy, delivery, effectiveness, and resources.

This study provides benchmarks around the structure and leadership of publication groups; publication strategy creation and data delivery; publication channel utilization across product lifecycle; publication effectiveness and transparency; and publication staffing and budget.

Study Snapshot

This study updates a 2011 study on the same issue and provides best practices that publications groups use to successfully build scientific credibility and commercial success. For this study, Best Practices, LLC engaged 20 leaders from 19 biopharmaceutical companies through a benchmarking survey and executive interviews.

Key topics covered include:

  • Optimal structure for the global publications function
  • Transition of global publications from commercial to clinical
  • Key internal stakeholders who contribute to publications strategy
  • Tactics for handling publication of neutral or negative clinical trial results
  • Impact of transparency guidelines on publications, planning and delivery
  • Strategy changes for the new marketplace

Key Findings

  • Outsourcing on the Rise for Publication Plan Delivery: Eighty percent of study participants outsource some portion of the delivery of their publication plan. Outsourcing has grown in the last five years as a core strategy of publication plan delivery. In our 2011 study, 47% of companies handled all delivery work in-house, whereas only 5% did so in 2016.
  • Future Publishing Emphasis on Regional Peer-Reviewed Journals and e-journals: In the coming year, 53% of companies plan to increase their emphasis on regional peer-reviewed journals. The use of e-journals has increased during the past five years and companies now use the platform to publish results across all phases of product development.
