TIME & BUDGETS FOR MEDICAL COMMUNICATIONS AGENCIES
The extra review round still counts.
Author feedback, reference checks and slide amends all take time. Capture those hours against the work and compare them with what the project was meant to take.
Start a timer on the task, then stop it with a note. Keep manuscript revisions and statistics QC attached to the right work instead of rebuilding the whole week on Friday.
