Celebrate Clinical Trials Day by sharing your data and get CRedIT!

Clinical Trials Day is celebrated on May 20, commemorating the day in 1747 on which James Lind is believed to have begun the first known controlled trial. Clinical trials remain the cornerstone of effective scientific and health research, and the clinical research data gathered provides valuable resources for further research, advancing science, and improving human health.

Sharing data is valuable not only to the research community, but also benefits the researchers who have conducted the trials and gathered the data. The Vivli platform enables researcher teams who submit and store their clinical research data to receive CRedIT on their ORCID profiles. Subsequent secondary analysis publications that are derived from the initial data are cited and tracked in Vivli.

Learn more about how data sharing with Vivli can contribute to your CRedIT in this new informational video.
