CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Society of Quality Assurance's (SQA) charity arm, the SQA Learning Foundation, released its inaugural eBook, Data Integrity: The Science, The Regulations, The Use. Crafted by Quality Assurance professionals, for Quality Assurance professionals, this new resource delves into the crucial data integrity requirements pertinent to Good Clinical Practices (GCP), Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Vigilance Practices (GVP), and other areas within regulated sciences.
Within quality assurance, substantial variations exist in company policies and training surrounding data integrity, including differences in defining data quality and integrity, allocating organizational responsibilities, addressing data integrity challenges, and differentiating between electronic and paper-based data collection systems. This eBook addresses these critical facets, offering invaluable data principles, case studies, real-world examples, and auditing tips in a single, comprehensive resource.
"What sets this ebook (sic) apart is its seamless integration of scientific principles with the stringent demands of regulatory bodies such as the FDA, EMA, and MHRA along with international organizations such as OECD," said Eric S. Pittman, MBA, an SQA member and Former Division Director of Bioresearch Monitoring of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. "It goes beyond merely outlining the rules and delves into the rationale behind them, empowering quality professionals to implement robust and sustainable compliance systems."
More than 70 SQA members were selected through an application process to participate as contributing authors for this eBook. Their expertise spans multiple disciplines within Quality Assurance and represents many years of experience in regulated industry, academia, and other sectors. A full list of Editors-in-Chief, Editors, Authors, and Reviewers can be found at the conclusion of this release.
Data quality and data integrity are vital to ensuring public health and environmental safety, and Data Integrity: The Science, The Regulations, The Use serves as an essential tool for professionals committed to upholding these standards. The eBook is available for purchase online at Barnes & Noble.
