Manuscripts that get through peer review.
Original research articles, case reports, reviews, editorials and letters, written for the journal you are targeting. Subject-matter editors, journal-specific formatting, plagiarism and citation compliance.
Each manuscript is paired with a subject-matter editor suited to the study's clinical context.
What a manuscript & article writing involves
Medical research articles vary widely in shape and purpose. An original research paper, a case report, a systematic review, a letter to the editor and an editorial each have their own expected structure, word count and level of evidence. Medical article writing therefore starts with knowing which format the target journal expects, not with a generic template. Getting the format right is half of getting accepted; the other half is being honest about what the data shows.
We work with clinicians, faculty and researchers to shape a manuscript against the specific target journal, not a generic template. That means applying the right reporting checklist for the study design (CONSORT 2025 for randomised trials, STROBE for observational studies, CARE for case reports, PRISMA 2020 for systematic reviews), conforming to the journal's author guidelines, and framing the discussion against what the journal's audience typically expects.
Our role is editorial and analytical. You provide the data, the clinical insight and the authorship; we shape the argument, check the statistics, organise the citations and prepare the submission package. Every draft is reviewed in-house by a second editor before it leaves our desk, and every final file is cleared through Turnitin or iThenticate.
Article types we handle
- Original research articles (RCT, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, diagnostic accuracy)
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA 2020 compliant)
- Scoping reviews, narrative reviews and umbrella reviews
- Case reports and case series (CARE-compliant)
- Clinical images and brief reports for journal image sections
- Editorials, commentaries and invited perspectives
- Letters to the editor responding to published work
- Clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements
- Protocol papers for trials in registered journals (e.g., BMJ Open)
- Education and training articles for medical education journals
How we work on a manuscript
- 01
Scoping and target journal
We start with a short brief: what is the study, who is the audience, which journal are you targeting, and by when does the draft need to land with your co-authors. If you do not have a target journal yet, we propose a shortlist before writing so the voice and word count are set from the start.
- 02
Outline and literature mapping
A structured outline is agreed with you, mapped against the journal's article-type requirements. We run a targeted literature search around the claim you are making, so the introduction and discussion draw on the most-cited relevant work and the gap your study fills is framed honestly.
- 03
Methods and statistical support
The methods section is drafted against the reporting guideline that fits your design (CONSORT 2025, STROBE, CARE, PRISMA 2020). If statistical re-analysis or clearer tables are needed, a statistician works on the data in SPSS, R or STATA and returns publication-ready output.
- 04
Drafting and internal review
Introduction, methods, results and discussion are drafted and iterated with you. Every draft is reviewed by a second editor for structural integrity and clinical plausibility before it returns to you. Tables, figures and supplementary material are prepared in the journal's specified formats.
- 05
Submission package and compliance
Cover letter, author contributions, conflict-of-interest disclosures, ethics and funding statements, reporting-checklist annex and supplementary files are assembled. The final manuscript is run through Turnitin or iThenticate, and the similarity report is shared alongside the deliverables.
What you get
- Target-journal-ready manuscript, word-count-compliant, with the relevant reporting checklist attached
- Cover letter addressed to the editor, framing the contribution and novelty
- Author contributions, conflict-of-interest and funding statements in ICMJE format
- Tables and figures in editable and publisher-accepted formats (TIFF, EPS, high-res PNG)
- Reference list in Vancouver / ICMJE, AMA or the journal's prescribed style
- Supplementary material (data tables, appendices, protocol addendum) as required
- Turnitin or iThenticate similarity report with the final delivery
Standards we follow
Authorship, disclosure and editorial-process expectations.
30-item checklist and flow diagram for reporting parallel-group randomised trials. CONSORT 2025 superseded the 2010 statement in April 2025; journal editors are instructed to reference CONSORT 2025.
Reporting for cohort, case-control and cross-sectional observational studies.
13-item checklist for case reports; ensures uniqueness, diagnostics, timeline and patient perspective are captured.
27-item checklist, abstract checklist and updated flow diagram.
Ethical framework for authorship, redundancy and misconduct.
Common questions about manuscript writing
Can I list one of your editors as a co-author?
No. ICMJE authorship requires substantial contribution to conception and design, acquisition or analysis of data, drafting or critical revision, and final approval - combined. Our editorial and analytical role does not meet those thresholds as we do not own the data or clinical decisions. If you wish to acknowledge our support, we are listed in the acknowledgements the way a medical writer or statistician normally would be, which ICMJE explicitly provides for and many journals require.
What if the journal rejects the manuscript?
Rejection is normal; even first-choice submissions in well-matched journals have single-digit first-round acceptance rates. When reviewer comments come back, we draft the rebuttal letter point-by-point and revise the manuscript against every substantive critique. If the decision is a hard reject, we re-target to a better-fit journal - revising the cover letter, adjusting the introduction and discussion to the new audience, and reformatting to the new journal's author guidelines. Our role continues through to acceptance under the original engagement.
Do you write to a specific journal's style from the start?
Yes. We ask for the target journal (or a shortlist) at the scoping stage and write against its author guidelines from the first draft - word counts, section structure, abstract type, citation style, figure specifications. Writing generically and adapting later is slower and more error-prone. If you are undecided, our Journal Selection service shortlists journals before drafting starts.
Can you write a systematic review or meta-analysis?
Yes; systematic reviews and meta-analyses are a distinct service handled under our Literature Review engagement because they require a protocol, PROSPERO registration, dual screening and bias assessment before the writing begins. If you have already completed those steps and just need the manuscript written to PRISMA 2020, we pick up from there under this service.
Will you check for plagiarism and self-plagiarism?
Every manuscript we deliver is cleared through Turnitin or iThenticate (which shares the Crossref Similarity Check platform), and the similarity report is shared with the delivery. We also flag self-plagiarism - reuse of text from your own prior publications - because many journals now explicitly screen for it under COPE's text-recycling guidance.
