SERIES EDITOR – CARDIOLOGY

Prof. Marc P. Bonaca, University of Colorado, USA

“The pace of scientific discovery is accelerating and scientific meetings remain at the core of disseminating discoveries. The volume of information and competing presentations make it challenging to view and absorb it all. In addition, busy schedules sometimes make attendance impossible.

The Medicom Conference Reports offer a high-quality and balanced solution. An excellent summary of key presentations is drafted by physicians, peer-reviewed for balance, and presented in a way that makes the key findings succinct and understandable. Sharing the report amongst colleagues is an excellent way to facilitate collaborative discussion around key findings. It also serves as a handy reference to access key datapoints when recalling a key presentation.

I highly recommend Medicom Conference Reports to all of my colleagues and trainees!”

SERIES EDITOR – HAEMATOLOGY

Prof. Gert Ossenkoppele, Amsterdam UMC, the Netherlands

“The scientific progress in haematological diseases is developing with high pace. Major congresses like the annual meetings of EHA and ASH are really important and instrumental in disseminating this new knowledge. Even if you attend in person such a meeting it is really impossible to visit all presentations of importance. It becomes even more challenging when you have to stay home.

But fortunately there is a very good solution: the Medicom Conference Reports offer an unbiased well-balanced and well-written selection of the most important conference presentations. This is highly recommended material that keeps you up-to-date with all new scientific findings.”

The selection of key abstracts and peer review of the report by two colleagues is essential towards accurately capturing the essence of new findings and their accurate reporting from these conferences. Peer-reviewed content is crucial to succinctly capture new developments and to direct the reader to implications of work and what future strategies will be followed.”

“I have been reviewing Medicom Conference Reports for 3 years. I think peer review is fundamental for science, as it is the best way to ensure the quality of publications and also improve their content. Peer review also increases the knowledge of the reviewers and stimulates new ideas. With peer review, Medicom Conference Reports are adequately verified before being published and meet high standards. This is beneficial for both readers and publishers.”
