GPP 2022 is the third update of the original GPP guidelines, which were published in 2003 and updated in 2009 as GPP2 and in 2015 as GPP3.
With this 2022 update, the GPP Steering Committee focused on several new areas, including alliances, the role of patients in publications, and policies and procedures. Advice is also provided on the use of social media, documentation, and enhanced content, including plain language summaries. Another important feature of the 2022 GPP update is inclusivity. The published text considers inclusivity in terms of demographic characteristics and geography, as well as job roles.
GPP was significantly reorganized to offer guidance and process steps for:
- Steering Committees
- Publication Plans
- Publication Working Groups
- Authorship and Contributorship Determination
- Publication Process
