ISMPP U - Digital Features - Are They Really Worth the Effort?

Thank you

Digital features have become an important consideration in the publication of peer-reviewed medical and scientific articles. Many peer-reviewed journals now publish plain language summaries and a wide range of digital content, such as videos, podcasts, and infographics. Many authors and sponsors have embraced these features, recognizing they provide an opportunity for bitesize summaries of the content and represent an innovative approach to reaching diverse audiences.

However, questions remain: What is the evidence for their impact? Do digital features increase readership, social reach, and citations? What is their effect on comprehension? Do they help readers retain information? Are they really worth the effort?

This webinar’s faculty will share the latest data on digital features and explain what it means. They will talk about how to use this evidence to encourage support of, and investment in, digital features. You will be introduced to the most popular and innovative features and learn the latest in best practices for digital feature development and publication.

Most importantly, you’ll know whether digital features are worth your effort.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this session attendees will
●Be familiar with the research evidence that demonstrates the impact of digital features and their impact on publications
●Recognize the most common and popular types of digital features published with peer-reviewed publications
●Understand the types of articles that benefit most from digital enhancements
●Use the latest best practices to develop digital features that enhance publications
