Publication Summaries
Create transparent communication with the public about your scientific research.
Create a plain language summary of a publication (PLSP) for patients, the public, physicians and healthcare professionals.
The Problem
Scientific publications are difficult for the public to understand.
To someone without a scientific or medical background, research publications are complex documents where the key information is hard to find. These publications can hold inaccessible knowledge that requires translating into plain language.
CISCRP's Solution
Our summaries of publications increase visibility and transparency of scientific research.
Physicians and healthcare professionals tend to be time-restricted and find value in PLSP as a tool to assist in conversations with patients.
Per ICMJE guidelines, PLSPs are considered acceptable secondary publications. PLSPs can be published alongside the original scientific publication or as a stand-alone, fully citable piece in another peer-reviewed journal. Also, PLSPs can be used on a sponsor’s website, printed for participants, or posted to an online portal.
