Advancing the Profession

ISMPP advances the medical publication and communications profession through education, professional standards, collaboration, and opportunities for members to contribute their expertise.

Our work supports the ethical, transparent, and effective communication of medical research—and the professionals who make it possible.

Connecting the Profession Through Meetings

ISMPP meetings bring the medical publication and communications community together to exchange ideas, explore emerging issues, and build professional relationships.

Our Annual Meeting, European Meeting, Asia Pacific Meeting, and ISMPP Academy offer opportunities to learn from colleagues, share research and practical experience, and discuss challenges shaping the profession.

Through educational sessions, workshops, research posters, oral presentations, and networking, these meetings connect professional learning with everyday practice. Members also help shape meeting programs by submitting session proposals.

Supporting Ethical Publication Practices

ISMPP develops and contributes to guidance that helps publication professionals navigate complex issues and maintain trust in the scientific record. Our resources address publication planning, authorship, transparency, reporting, and professional responsibilities.
