The role :

The growth and success of ARW in providing RWE has resulted in over 1000 publications over the years. The need to formalise the publication process, and to achieve a consistency and quality across all of our outputs, resulted in establishing the internal Publications Team to organise, co-ordinate and provide overall management of publications.

Historically, publications have been handled individually by the therapy area teams and written predominantly by our externally resourced freelance medical writers.

However, due to increased demands a centralised team to achieve higher standards and consistency across the business has been established, now ready to bring a publications and editorial co-ordinator on board.

The role will provide the opportunity to engage in all publication-related processes and support of the Publications Team.

Initial responsibilities will include :

High quality support to ARW Franchise teams and the Publications Team

Submission of abstracts, posters and presentations to international conferences and congresses

Submission of manuscripts to scientific journals for peer review ensuring journal guidelines are met

Co-ordinating response to reviewers’ comments and resubmission of manuscripts in a standard format

Gathering any author information required for submissions such as approvals, disclosure forms, e-mail addresses, etc. in a well- organised and timely manner

Liaising with Franchise teams to follow and incorporate authors’ feedback (ARW and external authors)

Organising, storing and (re-)referencing publications using Reference management software (i.e. EndNote)

Liaising with Franchise teams to see what publication support is needed

Co-ordinating communications between Franchise teams and clients

Supporting Franchise teams and clients by creating, managing and co-ordinating the quality of data record keeping

Following publications from their start to successful publication

Co-ordinating the internal and external review process

Monitoring due dates to identify approaching deadlines and liaise with Franchise teams to follow-up appropriately

Proactive work with Franchise and Publications teams to ensure databases are up to date and reviews completed on schedule

Liaising with Business Development Team to advertise ARW publications on LinkedIn and keep ARW website updated

Ensuring the publication process and all materials produced comply with current relevant guidelines

Other Publications Team support including Publication Database updates, etc.

The person we are looking for is it YOU?
