Clinical trials publication
Clinical Trials Publication
Clinical trials publication (pronunciation: /ˈklɪnɪkəl traɪəlz ˌpʌblɪˈkeɪʃən/) refers to the process of making the results of clinical trials publicly available. This is an essential part of the scientific method, as it allows other researchers to verify the results, and the public to be informed about new medical treatments and their effectiveness.
Etymology
The term "clinical trials publication" is derived from the words "clinical", which comes from the Greek word "klinike" meaning "bedside", "trials", which comes from the Latin word "trialis" meaning "threefold", and "publication", which comes from the Latin word "publicare" meaning "to make public".
