About the Blog

This blog is for those interested in medical, pharmaceutical, biological, and chemical research and development: the world of life science research. The blog is an extension of the work we at McCulley/Cuppan have done for the past 15+ years in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.

The blog is dedicated to exploring the realm of authorship and the task of creating and managing knowledge. We will consider tools and strategies for improving the quality of knowledge management and the communication of research in the life sciences. Whether you work in an organization of one or one thousand, if you face the task of managing research outcomes or authoring and reviewing research reports or other types of technical or regulatory documents, then this blog will likely offer helpful information.

Any posts dated prior to December 2010 were originally published on our blog Knowledge Management and Communication in the Life Sciences. The Knowledge Management blog will no longer be accessible after February 2010.
