Predatory journals bias science through the publication of low-quality, non-peer-reviewed articles.
The scale of this problem has recently been highlighted in the latest news round-up from Nature: a recent analysis found that 164,000 articles published by potentially predatory journals from 2015 to 2017 were indexed in the Scopus database, accounting for almost 3% of the articles indexed during this period.
A previous analysis found that some predatory journals were also indexed in PubMed.
These criteria and tools can help you recognize predatory journals.
On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we wish to recognise the contribution of our team of female medical and scientific writers. Each member of our medical writing team has a PhD in science and has post-doctoral research experience. For several years they have been helping our clients to showcase their results: writing, editing, and rewriting publications for peer-reviewed journals, conference summaries, posters and slideshow presentations; drafting regulatory and clinical documents (IMPDs, IBs, CSPs, CSRs, CTDs, PIPs, CERs, etc.); producing lay texts containing key medical information for patients (website content, brochures, sketchnotes, etc.); and translating scientific documents.
Sanofi renews partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) for 5 extra years, thereby consolidating a 20-year collaboration to fight Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and eliminate sleeping sickness before 2030! https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2020/2020-12-15-07-00-00
Among its recent activities, Synergy Pharm is proud of its participation in the project for the first all-oral treatment for sleeping sickness — a disease caused by the Trypanosoma brucei gambiense parasite and transmitted to humans by the tsetse fly. Fexinidazole is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) — an international, non-profit, independent research organization — and Sanofi. A short film by the DNDi tells the story of doctors in the Democratic Republic of Congo and their role in developing this revolutionary treatment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk31iucWYdE. This short film has won the “Grand Prix” at the first-ever WHO “Health For All Film Festival”.
January 30, 2021 is World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day: Our congratulations to Sanofi for the inclusion of Fexinidazole Winthrop° (fexinidazole) in the “Honours List” of the 2020 Prescrire Awards!
This year, no travel associated with our continuing education due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
World Psoriasis Day was launched in 2004 and occurs every year on October 29. In recent years, Santé Active Edition – Synergy Pharm has been working with several pharmaceutical or # dermo-cosmetic laboratories, and with CROs, to write and design (both in French and in English) a range of different documents on psoriasis, including a patient web file and a scientific press release, as well as several publications for peer-reviewed journals: three original articles, a review, and a supplement (https://lnkd.in/eswcWTV).
We have also reformatted the French guidelines on the use of systemic treatments for moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis in adults and translated them into English (https://lnkd.in/es2caMT).
The skin microbiome, which refers to the skin microbiota and its environment, is associated with cutaneous health and disease.
