USE CASE #4
Populate specialist thematic portals with evidence-based, newsworthy content
Add value to thematic content portals to boost portal use
Creation of scientifically accurate and highly readable digital stories to populate a thematic hub in a specialist online portal.
Introduction
Pharmaceutical companies and science publishers increasingly rely on thematic portals or knowledge hubs to position themselves in the field, strengthen their credibility, and attract and retain customers. But to be effective, portals and hubs must provide value to customers through constantly updated and relevant information. With the speed and volume of scientific and medical outputs, populating portals and hubs with relevant, useful and even personalised content is a massive challenge. SciencePOD’s content factory makes populating portals and hubs easy and predictable with regular delivery of evidence-based digital stories (text and visual) that are scientifically and medically accurate.
