Cactus completes over one year as the official editor for Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology

Cactus Japan KK, the Japan arm of global editing solutions provider Cactus Communications., entered into a collaboration with Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology (TIGG) since March 2008. As part of its responsibilities, Cactus has been offering its editing expertise to TIGG to facilitate the latter’s progress toward attaining a position of international standing in the relatively nascent fields of glycoscience and glycotechnology.

Midori Matsumoto, Associate Editor on the editorial board of TIGG, played a significant role in fructifying this move. Elaborating on how TIGG and Cactus came together, she remarks, “As a client of Editage (Cactus), I had been using their services for the last 3 years and I found them to be consistently reliable. During discussions about the need to have professional editing assistance, our editorial board realized that Cactus could add considerable value to TIGG’s publication in terms of improved readability. What followed then was a natural progression.”

This move is seen as an important step in Cactus’ endeavors to leave a footprint in various emerging academic fields. Glycotechnology is being increasingly viewed as a technology for the future, and Forum: Carbohydrates Coming of Age (FCCA), the body that publishes TIGG, is actively contributing toward this growing perception.

Editage participates in the annual conference of the American Medical Writers Association

Louisville, Kentucky, USA

On October 25, Editage, the scientific communications arm of Cactus Communications., held a presentation at the annual conference of the American Medical Writers Association in Louisville, Kentucky. This presentation focused on the current medical writing scenario in India and touched upon “smartsourcing” as an increasingly viable alternative for tapping the vast medical writing talent pool in India. Interestingly, to enunciate the point about how technology can be used to bridge geographical distance, the two speakers representing Editage—Elvira D’souza (Manager, Medical Writing Services) and Donald Samulack (VP, Medical Affairs and Strategic Partnerships)—addressed the audience from two different continents by using Skype and WebEx, softwares that allow video and web conferencing over the Internet.

Editage participates in the chapter meeting of the Society for Technical Communication

Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA

On October 11, Donald Samulack, VP, Medical Affairs and Strategic Partnerships, Editage, held a presentation at the chapter meeting of the Society for Technical Communication. The presentation provided a real-life perspective of the challenges involved in coordinating team and customer relationship management activities across geographic and time-zone differences and offered practical strategies for international communication. Speaking on the occasion, Donald, who is a PhD with an insider’s perspective of both clinical and academic spheres, remarked, “The importance of strategies and technologies in managing medical writing and editing workflows, customer relationship management, as well as in overcoming regionalization in Web development, cannot be understated if you want to nurture a global brand in a small corporate setting.”

Editage starts offering local telephone support for its Japanese clients

Tokyo, Japan

Editage has started offering local telephone support for its Japanese clients. The Japan website of Editage now lists a Tokyo telephone number that clients can use between 10:30 am and 19:30 pm (JST) to inquire or place an order in Japanese. The provision of this facility is a direct offshoot of Editage’s continuous efforts to make its systems more user-friendly for its clients. Reflecting on this development, Hamami, Online Brand Manager, remarks, “Until now, we had been giving clients our Indian hotline number; however, the response we received was not as expected. Realizing that making international phone calls in English is not the best option for Japanese clients in terms of cost and convenience, we decided to provide a Tokyo number. This will help our clients

Editage client servicing now available 13 hours a day

Tokyo, Japan

Editage has extended its operating hours for its Japanese clients. It now works between 11 am and midnight JST (13 hours), as opposed to the former working hours of 12:30 pm to 11 pm. This move comes as a direct recognition of the needs of Cactus’ Japanese clients, who have increasingly desired shorter response times. In this regard, Vibha Singhania, Client Manager for Japan, remarks, “In the past, because of the difference in time zones, sometimes it would be afternoon by the time a client would receive a response for an overnight query. With the extended shifts that we work now, clients will hear back from us much sooner. This will also help spread our job flow over a longer span and thereby enable us to service clients better.”

The US is the base for most large pharmaceutical companies. A foothold here will help us gain a deeper understanding of the medical communications industry and fill any gaps in the services we offer. Further, a physical presence in the US will ensure that our clients have someone to talk to in their own time zone. It will reduce any perceived barriers due to geographical distance.”

Editage launches medical writing services

2008

Editage, the preferred scientific communications partner for several reputed academic institutions and business organizations, has further expanded its offerings by launching a medical writing service. This service caters to the communication needs of pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs), academic departments, and individuals. It includes everything from clinical manuscripts, clinical study reports, and safety reports, to scientific manuscripts, grant applications, scientific poster presentations, and pharma marketing material.

The seed for such a service was sown in 2005, when Editage became a member of the American Medical Writers Association—a globally reputed organization that offers “educational programs, various publications, and unparalleled opportunities” for members to extend their professional expertise. In the ensuing months, Editage acquired a much better understanding of the requirements of the medical communication industry and considerably benefited from the training received through AMWA.

Shedding light on the market for such a service, Elvira D’souza, Manager - Medical Writing Services, remarks, “Drug companies and CROs are increasingly outsourcing non-core activities to where they can be done more efficiently and at lower costs. Outsourcing in the clinical trials industry is growing at almost 31%. Also, researchers need well-written documents that will stand the scrutiny of competitive peer-review processes.” In light of these market needs and the requisite in-house talent at the disposal of Editage, medical writing is a natural extension of its service portfolio. In the immediate future, Editage aims to establish itself as a key player in the medical writing industry.
