After I published the announcement about creating collaboratively an open-access set of guidelines that pharma companies could use for free and personalize for their own needs and preferences, I received several e-mails and tweets from people who want to participate. If you want to participate, please send me an e-mail to “info at webicina.com” and I give you permission to edit the document.
Webicina.com happily hosts the platform on which we can create this guide. Check it out here!
