ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (CPT) publishes peer-reviewed supplementary issues to the main volume and special issues. These supplements must be sponsored and offer an opportunity to have the sponsor's brand affiliated with top-quality scientific material. Although editorially independent, presentation and delivery can be tailored to company-specific needs, and there are opportunities for bulk sponsor's copies for further distribution. These supplements provide a unique chance to reach potential customers in a way that will show that your corporation has an interest in research.

Supplement sponsorship offers your company the opportunity to be associated with high-quality, product-related research. E-mail Michelle Libby for more information.
