The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a significant transformation in the communication systems of medical research. Online journals and magazines have rushed to publish articles on the pandemic, prioritizing and soliciting them over other scientific works. This shift has altered the traditional system of free acceptance of scientific contributions. Communication of these works has shifted from traditional scientific congresses to various systems such as websites, streaming platforms, webinars, and virtual conferences.

While this change has brought about some efficiencies and opportunities, it has also created a systematic gap in the communication system of medical sciences. In the post-COVID-19 era (AC), we can expect to see a significant reduction in classical-style conferences, such as the popular ones before the outbreak. However, there will be a surge in webinars, streaming, and virtual conferences.

This new book, "Communication in Medical Research: Bridging the Gap between Traditional and New Tools," aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive guide for researchers on how to effectively communicate their work. The book is based on the legacy left by Michael Faraday, a renowned American chemist who recognized the crucial role of effective communication in scientific research. Faraday famously stated, "A lecturer should appear easy and collected, undaunted and unconcerned," emphasizing the importance of presenting scientific information in a confident and approachable manner.

The book is written by top experts in the field of communication and education, adopting a multidisciplinary approach. It will serve as a valuable tool for scientists at this critical juncture, as they navigate the evolving landscape of scientific communication. The book covers various topics, including the importance of clear and concise writing, effective presentation skills, using social media and digital platforms, and engaging with the public and media.

In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the communication systems of medical research, leading to a shift towards webinars, streaming, and virtual conferences. This new book, "Communication in Medical Research: Bridging the Gap between Traditional and New Tools," aims to provide researchers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively communicate their work in this evolving landscape. By embracing the legacy of Michael Faraday and adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book will be a valuable resource for scientists seeking to excel in their field.
