We wanted to list our favorite news, trends, and data sources in the clinical trial space. We hope you’ll take advantage of this list. Please feel to comment and submit more websites!

• Applied Clinical Trials: Applied Clinical Trials is a global, peer-reviewed journal and website for the global clinical trial community that designs, initiates, manages, conducts, and monitors clinical trials. Most articles on their website are peer-reviewed and always of excellent quality. Definitely a reference for clinical trial professionals.
• Pharma Voice: Also a trusted source of news in the industry, Pharma Voice is written and edited by some of the industry’s most knowledgeable journalists. They’re very present and invested at conferences and community events and deliver complete coverage on every aspect of pharmaceutical business from molecule to market: clinical development, commercialization, regulation, technology, and much more.
• CenterWatch: Combining a news website, a journal and a clinical trial directory, CenterWatch is the ‘swiss army knife’ of the drug development industry. The list of recruiting clinical trials, the latest FDA approved drugs and the industry providers profile are very useful to drug developers and clinical trial professionals.
• FiercebiotechIT: Part of a series of news websites owned by FierceMarkets, FiercebiotechIT is one of the only website focused on eClinical systems, big data, and eClinical Cloud. It is particularly relevant to us as the provider of cloud-based eClinical system ClinCapture . Noneless, it is one the largest website as far as web traffic and readership.

It is particularly useful to read a snapshot of breaking news about large or mid-sized pharma companies. Biospace also organizes quality networking events and career fairs.
