Sponsored Webcast: Efficient Personalization: Mastering Style Guides and Lexicons for Tailored Submissions (On Demand)
It can be challenging to ensure standard language is used when writing regulatory and medical documents, especially when every agency and customer has their own rules. This session explores how to establish and apply consistent style conventions and how to harness technology to automate style guides and lexicons. This session is structured in two parts to address those challenges:
1. The Foundation: Style Guides and Lexicons
Explore why styles guides and lexicons are indispensable for document quality and learn how to adapt them as a standard for every document that the team writes
2. Working Faster: Enforcing Style Conventions Through Automation
Certara will outline and teach how to gain efficiencies in document development through technological tools like PerfectIt that are widely used among medical writers.
