Content Ed Net Ltda (Portugal)

Content Ed Net is a medical communications and publishing services company that works with medical affairs and marketing teams in pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Founded in Madrid in 2002 by William Dolben, the company was built to give medium-sized publishers and medical societies the same geographical reach as the largest publishers, and to make it easier for the global pharmaceutical industry to source high-quality scientific content around the world. Its services span reprints and rights, medical writing, and local communication, with the stated goal of helping clients create, publish, buy and disseminate content more efficiently, more reliably and with reduced risk. The company describes itself as having one of the most extensive office networks of any healthcare communication provider, with around 40 physical offices and 36 companies in roughly 31 countries. These local entities are legal entities able to employ staff, invoice with local taxes, contract services and pay locally in a tax-compliant and efficient way. This structure is presented as a differentiator: it allows pharmaceutical clients to work with local teams who understand culture, language, regulatory environment and educational need, while still benefiting from global reach and simpler logistics. Content Ed Net's service lines include Reprints & Rights, which provides content from medical publishers; Medical Writing, which supports publishing and dissemination of research; and Local Communication, which offers tailored solutions to support client goals. The company states that since 2002 it has delivered over 50,000 reprint and e-print projects in over 90 countries, and that its writers and editors have provided manuscript assistance to over 1,700 peer-reviewed published articles. Its medical writing team is described as ISMPP accredited. The company is led by founder and CEO William Dolben, with a senior team based across multiple countries, including operations, editorial, commercial and business development roles in cities such as São Paulo, Auckland, Madrid, Lyon, Cambridge, Basel, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Montreal, Shanghai, Prague, Paris, Munich, Budapest, Mumbai, Rome, Tokyo, Mexico City, Warsaw, Bucharest, Moscow, Seoul, Johannesburg and Taipei. Content Ed Net is a private company; its Portuguese entity, Content Ed Net Ltda (Portugal), is based in Lisbon.

Content Ed Net was founded by William Dolben in Madrid in 2002. Dolben had spent 15 years working in pharmaceutical sales and marketing and then in medical publishing before starting the company. His stated aim was to give medium-sized publishers and medical societies the same geographical reach as the largest publishers, and to make it easy for the global pharmaceutical industry to source high-quality scientific content around the world. From its base in Madrid, the company developed a model based on local offices and local legal entities that could serve pharmaceutical clients across many countries. In 2005, Dr Steve Clissold joined Content Ed Net to lead the medical editorial services group. This marked the expansion of the company's medical writing capabilities. Content Ed Net began actively assisting healthcare professionals, societies and pharmaceutical companies to publish research in international journals. Its writers and editors have since provided manuscript assistance to over 1,700 peer-reviewed published articles. The company has highlighted the problem of publication bias, noting that around half of local clinical studies are estimated not to be published, often because of a lack of local medical writing support, difficulties with English and a lack of understanding of the international publishing process. Content Ed Net positions its local support and training as a way to make it easier for physicians to publish their research internationally while reducing the publication bias of non-publication. The medical writing team is described as ISMPP accredited. Over the following two decades, Content Ed Net expanded its office network globally. By the time of its public statements, it described having around 40 physical offices and 36 companies in roughly 31 countries, with over 150 people from backgrounds in basic science, pharmacology, pharmacy and medicine, experienced medical publishers, and creative solution providers. The company reports having delivered over 50,000 medical reprint orders and reprint and e-print projects in over 90 countries, and having supported thousands of medical communications programs. Its network spans North and South America, Asia, Europe, Australasia and Africa. The company's structure of local legal entities is central to its operating model. These entities can employ, invoice with local taxes, contract services and pay locally in a tax-compliant and efficient way. Content Ed Net states that many clients benefit from its ability to invoice locally because it reduces administration costs associated with internal recharges. The Portuguese entity, Content Ed Net Ltda (Portugal), is based in Lisbon and forms part of this international network.
