Dear friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I welcome you to the first International Symposium on Medical Academic Publishing, which will be held in Chennai on 16th March 2025.

This event brings together some of the brightest minds and leaders in medical academic publishing and research. Editors from leading national and international medical journals will share their insights with us, making this symposium an enriching and enlightening experience for you.

In this symposium, we will examine the latest trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of medical academic publishing. From the IMRaD format to the fundamentals of biostatistics and from editorial workflows and publication misconduct to the strategies for enhancing the impact of published research, we will gain valuable insights from experienced editors. Our discussions will offer essential perspectives for everyone involved in the creation, dissemination, and engagement of knowledge on medical academic publishing.

We are fortunate to have a distinguished lineup of speakers and panelists who will share their expertise on critical topics shaping the future of our field. This symposium also presents an excellent opportunity to network, collaborate, and establish lasting professional relationships.

I extend my deepest gratitude to all our speakers, panelists and academic partners for making this event possible. Together, we aim to foster a productive and supportive environment for exchanging ideas and best practices in medical academic publishing.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Chennai.

Warm Regards
Dr S Sham
