Research and Dissemination
We support, allow, and deliver world-class health and social care research that improves people's health and well-being while also stimulating economic growth. Medical conferences are a valuable source of information, especially newly discovered insights. Access to conferences and conference proceedings is increasingly important for discovering up-to-date findings in biomedical fields.

Conference proceedings key to faster dissemination of findings
New research presented at conferences
Conference proceedings are an increasingly important mode of rapid dissemination of biomedical research findings. In fact, presenters may not even finish their presentation until shortly before the conference. Conferences often accept talks based on an abstract. There is no need for multiple rounds of revisions before publication. This practice of acceptance based on a promising abstract may seem counter to the idea of peer-reviewed science, but it is not.
