About Becaris Publishing Limited

Real-world evidence (RWE) is now accepted by a wide range of stakeholders to support decision making across the pharmaceutical product lifecycle as well as in clinical practice to provide true patient-centric care.  Real-world data (RWD), and the evidence generated by analyzing this data, serves to complement, or even broaden, the data derived from clinical trials. From identifying unmet patient needs to learning more about how treatments are used in real life, RWE can guide the development of new therapies, support regulatory approvals and inform treatment strategies. Use of RWE and big data offers the potential to harness vast amounts of medical data, but also brings significant methodological, legal and ethical challenges.

Becaris Publishing is dedicated to this space by providing accessible and trusted, evidence-based information across the RWE spectrum. The Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research publishes the latest peer-reviewed, open access research and opinion written by leading experts in the field. Complementing the journal, The Evidence Base® curates news, opinion, multimedia content and more in an online forum to enable a wider audience to learn about the latest developments in the application, discussion, research and debate around RWE.
