NAMSA provides a wide range of specialized medical writing, manuscript submission and evidence communication services. Our world-class team of clinical medical writers is expert at identifying, organizing, interpreting and presenting clinical data accurately and professionally for submission to various regulatory bodies. NAMSA’s medical writing services team is also experienced and skilled in developing Clinical Evaluation Plans and Reports to comply with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and MEDDEV 2.7.1 rev. 4, as well as Performance Evaluation Plans and Reports to comply with the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), in collaboration with our EU Regulatory Team.

NAMSA’s global medical writing services team is comprised of dedicated medical writers from a diverse range of clinical and scientific backgrounds of whom >90% hold advanced degrees.

Working in close partnership with NAMSA’s Regulatory , Clinical and Biostatistics Teams, our medical writers are highly responsive to individual needs and are instrumental in helping clients achieve commercial objectives. When working with NAMSA , clients are also provided with a personalized plan to help guide future compliance activities.

Clinical Evaluation Reports & Plans (CERs | CEPs) / Performance Evaluation Reports & Plans (PERs | PEPs)

Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs) / Performance Evaluation Reports (PERs) are vital technical documents required for market approval of medical devices and In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) within a variety of markets. Clinical evaluation is a structured and ongoing process, involving collection, appraisal and analysis of clinical data relating to the device. The purpose is to demonstrate compliance with specific safety and performance requirements as related to its intended purpose. This process involves the evaluation of the clinical benefit-risk profile for the device using the latest available clinical data, e.g., derived from clinical studies, published literature, and active post-market surveillance.

The Clinical Evaluation Plan (CEP) / Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes the scope, methodology and systematic approach to employ within the evaluation. While the CER/PER provides a detailed description of the actual conduct of the clinical evaluation, information analyzed and conclusion(s) reached. Both documents require regular updating throughout the life cycle of the medical device and are subject to review and scrutiny by the regulatory authorities.

NAMSA’s team of CER/PER medical writing experts is highly qualified and skilled, producing approximately 200 CERs/PERs annually in compliance with market-specific requirements. Collaborating with NAMSA’s Regulatory Team, who have worked for various Notified Bodies, our medical writers are equipped with in-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements and guidelines specific to varying global regions and have extensive experience supporting clients with CER/PER submissions.

Together, we ensure the correct match of skills and expertise required to organize, interpret and present data accurately, efficiently and professionally that is highly recognized and trusted by global regulatory entities. We take particular pride in our reputation for speed of delivery, the quality of our reports and our outstanding record for approvals. NAMSA consistently receives positive feedback on our medical writing services from clients and major Notified Bodies, resulting in hundreds of clients passing the approval process without issue.

NAMSA provides CERs/PERs and CEPs/PEPs covering all device classes and therapeutic areas, including combination products. Clinical and Performance Evaluation services offered by NAMSA include:

• Ad-Hoc Medical Writing support
• Medical Writing of plans and reports
• Maintenance or regular updates of plans and reports
• Bundled plans and reports, covering multiple product variants
• Clinical and Performance Evaluation guidance, training and SOP writing/updating
• Gap analyses per international guidance
• Systemic literature review
• Physician or peer review

Clinical Literature Reviews

Clinical literature reviews can be valuable in strengthening a manufacturer’s product portfolio. A thorough search and robust synthesis of available literature relevant to a particular medical device may provide important information to guide further product development, reveal much-needed evidence to substantiate current clinical indications, identify potential ‘off-label’ applications or flag critical adverse event (AE) data.

Depending on the scope, such a review might also consider information gathered from pre-clinical studies for regulatory purposes or to provide information of commercial interest concerning a competitor device. Within the U.S. in particular, both FDA guidance and the Code of Federal Regulations stipulate the need for literature reviews as sources of information regarding safety, efficacy and ‘known use.’

Our medical writers come from diverse clinical, technical and scientific backgrounds to provide you with the objective answers you need to support your desired commercialization and business outcomes.

Labeling, Instructions for Use and User Manuals

Compliance with evolving legal labeling requirements is essential in all countries in which a medical device is distributed. Errors and inaccuracies in labeling and Instructions for Use (IFUs) may threaten patient safety and result in damaging recalls and fines.

Within the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) administers the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) and stipulates that from 24 September 2020, all devices—including Class I and unclassified medical devices—must have appropriate UDI labeling. This must include brand name, description, catalog number, handling instructions, expiration date and other pertinent information. NAMSA supports manufacturers in labeling needs by managing UDI exception requests and reviewing labeling and instruction requirements to ensure that all remaining portfolio products are compliant.

A similar, although crucially different, system will operate within the European Union with the rollout of a European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED), together with the introduction of European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) EU 2017/745. This will present significant challenges for many manufacturers, as although labeling requirements have been well defined under MDD, with harmonized standards and guidance documents available to aid interpretation, the MDR requirements described in the GSPRs (Annex I) are more complex and descriptive. They include a large number of new elements, especially for implantable and sterile devices, and currently there are no harmonized standards available to help navigate these requirements. Also new in the MDR is the “General requirements regarding the information supplied by the manufacturer” (SPR 23.1), indicating a new format for the presentation user information, more specifically; eLabeling as described in (EU) No 207/2012 on electronic IFUs for medical devices.

NAMSA’s multidisciplinary, cross-functional medical writing service teams understand the criticality of ensuring accuracy, completeness and ergonomic usability of information contained within medical device labels, IFUs and user instruction manuals. Working together, our regulatory and medical writing experts have extensive industry experience to help you design and review these materials to ensure compliance to applicable global regulatory requirements.

Periodic Safety Update Reports and Post-Market Surveillance Reports (PSURs | PMSRs)

The European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) EU 2017/745 requires the preparation of Post-Market Surveillance Reports (PMSR) or Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSUR); (Chapter VII, Article 86), depending on device classification. A PMSR is intended for low-risk class I devices, while a PSUR is intended for moderate and high-risk devices (class IIa, IIb, III, implantable). Irrespective of whether a medical device has a valid certificate under the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC or MDR, all manufacturers must comply with Post-Market Surveillance requirements outlined in the MDR after the date of application of 26 May 2021.

NAMSA’s highly experienced medical writing team, together with our Clinical and Regulatory experts, support manufacturers in the production and submission of both PMSRs and PSURs. (See Table 1 below)

Table 1 : PMSRs and PSURs—Overview of Reporting Requirements by Risk Category

Scientific Publications & Conference Abstracts

With regular and frequent shifts in global regulatory requirements, reimbursement policies and user requirements, it is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers to demonstrate transparency. Also critical is ensuring that results obtained from Post-Market Surveillance activities and clinical studies are made publicly accessible and adequately described in clinical and scientific literature.

Publishing scientific articles in relevant medical journals and presenting clinical findings at conferences is beneficial for manufacturers. Scientific dissemination of pertinent information helps strengthen awareness and recognition of a product, together with the overall reputation of the manufacturer, among relevant clinical audiences. These activities may support a manufacturer’s marketing efforts and yield direct commercial benefits in terms of sales, especially when the results are favorable. However, even limited data and inconclusive findings, placed in the public domain, may positively influence third-party decisions relating to market access, reimbursement and clinical guidelines when combined with other available data (e.g., in the form of meta-analyses or health economic evaluations).

With solid industry experience and extensive scientific and academic training, NAMSA’s medical writing services can help your business take charge of its global presence and scientific assets. Even if you have not taken the opportunity to involve NAMSA in conducting your clinical research, our medical writers are available and ready to support you in disseminating clinical data regarding your products by preparing ready-to-submit scientific publications and conference abstracts. To achieve this, our medical writers will partner with your organization and study investigators, in addition to NAMSA’s Biostatistics Team (if required) to translate clinical findings into relevant, publishable scientific literature that will support your commercial objectives.

NAMSA’s professional medical writing services include a variety of evidence communication outputs, including:

• Advisory panel presentations
• Conference abstracts, presentations and posters
• Health economic evaluations
• Professional education materials (e.g. clinical summaries)
• Scientific publications, including journal articles (e.g. study protocols, case studies, PMCF studies, clinical trials, etc.)
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• White papers and other manuscripts

Summaries of Safety & Clinical Performance (SSCPs)

The European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) EU 2017/745 requires that manufacturers of implantable and class III devices (other than custom-made or investigational devices) must create a Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP). The SSCP document is intended to provide public access to an updated summary of clinical data and other information about a medical device’s safety and clinical performance for healthcare professionals and, if relevant, patients.

This obligation is in addition to the requirement for creating a Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR). All manufacturers must comply with Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) requirements detailed in the MDR after the date of application on 26 May 2021, irrespective of whether a medical device has a valid certificate under the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC or MDR.

NAMSA’s experts have carefully analyzed the requirements and recommendations of the MDR and associated guidance documents to help guide clients through this early period of enforcement with ease and confidence. Working closely with our EU Regulatory Team, NAMSA’s medical writers have the expertise and knowledge to create SSCPs tailored towards intended users/healthcare professionals and patient/lay audiences in compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Clinical Study Protocol

A clinical study protocol is a document that describes the objectives, design, methodology, statistical considerations and organization of a clinical trial. Ensuring the quality, validity and ethical conduct of a study involving human subjects is essential. A well-written protocol can ease the approval process by regulatory authorities, ethics committees, and funding agencies, ultimately ensuring the study is conducted as intended, avoiding costly delays and protocol amendments.

NAMSA offers a comprehensive service for developing clinical study protocols. Our experienced medical writers work closely with our clinical, regulatory and biostatistical experts to create protocols tailored to your specific device, indication and target market. We can help you define the study objectives, endpoints, sample size, inclusion and exclusion criteria, randomization and blinding procedures, data collection and analysis methods, safety monitoring and reporting requirements and any other aspects of your trial. We can also assist you with preparing informed consent forms, case report forms, investigator brochures and other study-related documents.

Whether you need a feasibility study, a pilot study, a pivotal trial, or a post-market surveillance study, NAMSA can help you design and execute a clinical study protocol that meets your regulatory and business needs.

Clinical Study Report

Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) are comprehensive documents that summarize the methods, results, and conclusions of a clinical trial. CSRs are essential for regulatory submissions, publications, and marketing activities. They provide the evidence to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a medical device in a specific patient population and clinical setting.

A well-written CSR can help speed up the approval process and the market acceptance of a medical device. A poorly written CSR can lead to delays, rejections, or unfavorable reviews. Therefore, qualified medical writers who understand the regulatory requirements, international standards, and the industry best practices, which will help raise the bar of your report development.

NAMSA offers a full range of clinical medical writing services, from protocol development to final report writing. Our medical writers have extensive knowledge and expertise in various therapeutic areas, device types, and study designs. They work closely with our biostatisticians, clinical operations team, and safety team to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and quality of the CSRs. Whether you need a CSR for a pilot study, a pivotal trial, or a post-market surveillance study, NAMSA can deliver it on time and within budget.

Publication Ethics

We at BMJ, and our partners at Editage, are aware of the increasing pressure that the academic research and publishing community are under today. As a leading provider of editorial and publication support services for the past 12 years, we have on occasion been witness to potential cases of ethical violation while editing research papers. A majority of these are instances of “accidental plagiarism” where authors unwittingly engage in unethical practices, mainly because of lack of information and professional training on the subject.

As the first people to look at research papers, even before journal editors do, we can serve as trusted advisors to thousands of researchers, especially early-career scientists not fully aware of the pitfalls of unethical academic publication by:

• Ensuring quality
• Offering processes for suspected ethical misconduct
• Providing educational initiatives for editors and authors

The ultimate guide for medical manuscript writing.

Medical Manuscript writing can be overwhelming, but there are some tried-and-true techniques and creative tips that can dramatically simplify the process.

We mined the literature for strategies plus revealed some tricks from our seasoned writers to help you get your manuscript written and published.

In this document, we focused our attention on manuscripts since they are one of the most common types of medical writing . However, these are techniques that can be useful for any medical writing project.

What is good medical manuscript writing?

When you’re writing for a scientific audience it’s important to write with three C’s in mind:

• Clear: Don’t be ambiguous or leave anything to the imagination.
• Concise: Use brief, simple language and avoid repetition/redundancy.
• Correct: Be accurate, and don’t overstate the significance of your results.

Good medical writing is never more complicated than it needs to be.

Make it easy for your audience by keeping your language clear and simple.

How is medical writing different?

Many people want to know how writing healthcare blog topics is different from other types of writing. The answer is simple: it isn’t.

Good writing has a goal and a target audience and they will influence how you write, regardless of what you’re writing. A good manuscript is rooted in a good story.

Even data-driven medical texts can be delivered in an engaging way. Most of us can think of examples of stand-out papers in our field of expertise.

At their best these papers are entertaining and thought-provoking even while they deliver complicated, data-heavy material.

Make an Outline for your Manuscript

Before you start writing you need to have a clear understanding of the type and scope of your writing.

For example, consider exactly what you are writing. Is it a case study, textbook chapter , or literature review? These distinctions have important implications for how you craft and present your material.

An outline should be an obvious place to start, but you’d be surprised at how often this step is skipped.

How to structure your medial manuscript outline

When possible, before you start your outline you should understand the formatting requirements for your targeted publisher.

Many publishers specify abstract headings and have specific requirements for what can (and can’t) be included in the body of your text.

Use the outline as a way to narrow down the research you’ll need to do as you write.

It is an unfortunate fact of life: the abstract is often the only portion of a paper that ever gets read. For this reason, your abstract needs to convey the most important points from your paper in 300 words or less. Note what these points are in your abstract.

Make sure you know what your publisher expects from your abstract. Some journals limit you to 150 words or require that you arrange your abstract using specific headers.

You may need to include an objective or a statement of impact as well.

Most publishers ask authors to provide some keywords. Think about the keywords you’d use to search for your paper and write them down.

Keywords that are more general will increase the number of search results your paper will appear in. For example, use “spinal cord stimulation” instead of “neuromodulation.”

Define your goal

Is your goal to present new research data or to provide a meta-analysis of existing data? By clarifying the goal of your manuscript you can streamline preparation and writing.

Defining the goal is one of the secrets of successful grants and manuscripts of top biomedical PIs . Having a well-defined goal will also help you find the most appropriate publisher.

Keep your target audience in mind as you define your goal.

Introduction/background

The outline for your intro should note the current state of the field and identify knowledge gaps.

A good way to understand how to arrange your intro is by looking at similar papers that have been published by your target journal.

A standard approach to an intro can be broken down as follows:

• First paragraph: Current knowledge and foundational referencesYou’re paving the way for your readers to understand your objective
• Second paragraph: Introduce your specific topic and identify knowledge gaps
• Third paragraph: Clearly identify your aim

Key references and identifying your hypothesis and aim(s).

Methods Briefly list your methods and timeframe, but don’t get too detailed. This is just an outline.

Results The results section can be the most challenging to organize.

To simplify the writing process, state your overall question and create subsections for each dataset.

List the experiments you did and your results.

In your outline, identify data that should be presented in a figure or table. Save any subjective interpretations for the discussion section.

Discussion Your outline for the discussion should pick up where the introduction left off.

For example, if your intro ends with an aim, your discussion should start by restating your aim and reminding your readers of the knowledge gap(s) that you are addressing.

Your discussion needs to address each set of experiments and your interpretation, but don’t simply restate your results section.

Timeline Make a timeline for your manuscript and specify a submission date to help keep you on track.

Questions to consider when making your discussion outline include:

• How do your data relate to your original question?
• Do they support your hypothesis?
• Are your results consistent with what other researchers have found?
• If you had unexpected results, is there an explanation for them?
• Consider your data from the perspective of a competitor. Can you punch holes in your argument?
• Address potential concerns about your data head on. Don’t try to hide them or gloss over them.
• If you weren’t able to fully address your question(s) or aim(s), what else do you need to do?
• How do your data fit into the big picture?

Include a discussion subsection for each of your results subsections where you can subjectively interpret your data. Your outline should include the points you want to make in each subsection as well as your overall goal.

Conclude your discussion with a one sentence summary of your conclusion and its relevance to the field.

Again, don’t forget to write to your target audience!

Know the Literature Before You Write Anything

An effective medical or scientific manuscript provides compelling information that builds on the existing literature and advances what is currently known.

This means you need to have a thorough understanding of the relevant literature!

Your goal is to collect all relevant references into a structured document. Make note of the aim and conclusion of each reference. Use this as a foundation to refer back to when you’re writing your paper.

Organize your research into buckets.

When you find a relevant source, ask yourself:

• Are the data consistent with what’s already known?
• If not: why are they different and how do they affect what’s known?
• Do your data support or refute the data presented in the source?
• You’ll need to explicitly address inconsistencies and identify potential resolutions.

Find Scholarly Sources

If you are writing an original research article , how do your data fit into the broader topic?

Google searches don’t usually produce scholarly resources unless you know where to look.

There are numerous FREE and Paid online resources available to find the right sources.

Top Scholarly Databases for journals, news, and articles

These tools can be used to find all the reputable sources needed to flesh out quality medical writing.

PubMed (MEDLINE):

PUBMED is an extremely popular and free search engine hosted by the NIH (National institutes of Health and U.S. National Library of Medicine. It can be used to access a vast index of peer-reviewed biological and medical research.

EMBASE is a database of literature intended to aid in organizational adherence to prescription drug regulations. Whereas it does contain some references that are not returned by PUBMED, there is a subscription fee associated with EMBASE.

Cochrane Library

The Cochrane Library is a curated database of medical research reviews, protocols, and editorials. While a subscription is required, the Cochrane is a critical resource for evidence-based medicine.

Web of Science

The Web of Science is another subscription service similar to those that have already been mentioned, albeit with an expanded range of academic disciplines including the arts, social sciences, and others.

Google Scholar

Google Scholar leverages Google’s powerful search engine to retrieve published literature from the whole internet (rather than just biomedical journals). This means you’ll get textbooks, theses, conference proceedings, and other publications that won’t show up in PubMed or EMBASE searches. Google Scholar is a powerful tool but it lacks the curation of other search tools, so a careful vetting of any information from this source is important.

Other databases:

Faculty of 1000 (F1000) offers Faculty Opinions and F1000Research. Faculty Opinions are links to recommended life-science articles, while F1000Research is a database of open-source research papers and results.

EBSCO is an online library providing a wide range of services, including its research databases that allow powerful searches of journals in a variety of academic disciplines.

iSEEK Education:

iSeek Education is a search engine geared specifically for academics. The resources from iSeek are meant to be dependable and from reliable sources, such as government agencies and universities.

RefSeek is another popular option for academically oriented search engines. RefSeek is designed to pull results from a large number of sources but not commercial links. 

Virtual LRC:

The Virtual Learning Resources Center is a modified Google search of academic information websites. Its index of websites has been chosen by qualified curators.

Organize Your References:

One other point on knowing the literature: find a strategy that helps you keep references organized. 

If you’ve ever written a paper and couldn’t remember where on earth you saw that one, perfect reference you know how important this is! 

Rather than putting things into a long word document start with a research template.

Know your audience

It’s important to know your audience before you start writing. This will help you define your goals and create an outline.  

For example, if you’re preparing a case study for specialists your manuscript will be different than one for a multidisciplinary audience. 

Ask yourself what your message is and find out how it aligns with the goals of your readers to maximize your paper’s impact.

Formatting requirements

Whenever possible, find out the formatting requirements you’ll need to follow before you start writing. They will explicitly state the layout, word limits, figure/table formatting, use of abbreviations, and which reference style to use.

If you’re writing for a journal their website will have a Guide for Authors that specifies formatting. If you’re not sure what the requirements are, you should contact the editor or publisher and ask them. 

Types of medical manuscripts

Knowing what kind of manuscript you’re writing will help you organize your material and identify which information you should present. In addition, many publishers have different formatting requirements for different types of articles.

Although each publisher has their own guidelines for authors, many journals encourage authors to follow reporting guidelines from the EQUATOR Network (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research). 

Original research

The goal of an original research article is to convey your research findings to an audience. These articles typically follow the same structure:

• Introduction 

Methods & Materials

Examples of great original medical research manuscripts:

• Nowacki J, Wingenfeld K, Kaczmarczyk M, et al. Steroid hormone secretion after stimulation of mineralocorticoid and NMDA receptors and cardiovascular risk in patients with depression . Transl Psychiatry . 2020 Apr 20;10(1):109.

Examples of great medical journal publications from The Med Writers :

Rapid communications

Rapid (or brief) communications are aimed at publishing highly impactful preliminary findings. 

They are shorter than original research articles and focus on one specific result. 

Many journals prioritize rapid communications, since they can provide paradigm-shifts in how we understand a particular topic.

5 Examples of Rapid Communications

• Rose D, Ashwood P. Plasma Interleukin-35 in Children with Autism . Brain Sci . 2019 Jun 27;9(7).
• Nash K, Johansson A, Yogeeswaran K. Social Media Approval Reduces Emotional Arousal for People High in Narcissism: Electrophysiological Evidence . Front Hum Neurosci . 2019 Sep 20;13:292.

• Nilsson I, Palmer J, Apostolou E, et al. Metabolic Dysfunction in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Not Due to Anti-mitochondrial Antibodies . Front Med . 2020 Mar 31;7:108.
• Rabiei S, Sedaghat F, Rastmanesh R. Is the hedonic hunger score associated with obesity in women? A brief communication . BMC Res Notes. 2019 Jun 10;12(1):330. 

Case reports

Case reports detail interesting clinical cases that provide new insight into an area of research. 

These are brief reports that chronicle a case, from initial presentation to prognosis (if known). 

Importantly, when writing a case report, you need to clearly identify what makes your case unique and why it’s important. 5 Examples of Great Case Studies

• Scoles D, Ammar MJ, Carroll SE, et al. Cytomegalovirus retinitis in an immunocompetent host after complicated cataract surgery . Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep . 2020 Apr 6;18:100702.
• Yanagimoto Y, Ishizaki Y, Kaneko K. Iron deficiency anemia, stunted growth, and developmental delay due to avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder by restricted eating in autism spectrum disorder . Biopsychosoc Med . 2020 Apr 10;14:8.
• Pringle S, van der Vegt B, Wang X, et al. Lack of Conventional Acinar Cells in Parotid Salivary Gland of Patient Taking an Anti-PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor . Front Oncol . 2020 Apr 2;10:420.

• Tsai AL, Agustines D. The Coexistence of Oculocutaneous Albinism with Schizophrenia . Cureus . 2020 Jan 9;12(1):e6617.

Literature review

A good literature review provides a comprehensive overview of current literature in a new way. There are four basic types of literature review:

Traditional: Also known as narrative reviews, these reviews deliver a thorough synopsis of a body of literature. They may be used to highlight unanswered questions or knowledge gaps.

Li X, Geng M, Peng Y, Meng L, Lu S. Molecular immune pathogenesis and diagnosis of COVID-19 . J Pharm Anal . 2020 Mar 5. 

Wardhan R, Kantamneni S. The Challenges of Ultrasound-guided Thoracic Paravertebral Blocks in Rib Fracture Patients . Cureus . 2020 Apr 10;12(4):e7626.

Lakhan, S.E., Vieira, K.F. Nutritional therapies for mental disorders . Nutr J 7, 2 (2008). https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2891-7-2

A minireview is similar to a review, but confines itself to a specific subtopic:

Marra A, Viale G, Curigliano G. Recent advances in triple negative breast cancer: the immunotherapy era . BMC Med . 2019 May 9;17(1):90.

  Systematic : These are rigorous, highly structured reviews that are often used to shed light on a specific research question. They are often combined with a meta-analysis or meta-synthesis. 

Asadi-Pooya AA, Simani L. Central nervous system manifestations of COVID-19: A systematic review . J Neurol Sci . 2020 Apr 11;413:116832.

Katsanos K, Spiliopoulos S, Kitrou P, Krokidis M, Karnabatidis D. Risk of Death Following Application of Paclitaxel-Coated Balloons and Stents in the Femoropopliteal Artery of the Leg: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials . J Am Heart Assoc . 2018 Dec 18;7(24):e011245.

Meta-analysis: A meta-analysis analyzes data from multiple published studies using a standardized statistical approach. These reviews can help identify trends, patterns, and new conclusions.

Zhang J, Zhang X, Meng Y, Chen Y. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules: An updated meta-analysis with comprehensive heterogeneity analysis . PLoS One . 2020 Apr 20;15(4):e0231775.  

  Meta-synthesis: A meta-synthesis is a qualitative (non-statistical) way to evaluate and analyze findings from several published studies.

Stuart R, Akther SF, Machin K, et al. Carers’ experiences of involuntary admission under mental health legislation: systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis . BJPsych Open . 2020 Feb 11;6(2):e19. 

At this point you’ve established three things for your manuscript:

• Your goal : Is your goal to convey the latest research? You should find a way to describe what you want to accomplish with this article. 
• Your target audience : The most effective medical writing is done with a specific audience in mind. 
• Type of manuscript : The type of article you’re writing will influence the format of the document you are writing.

You probably have a target journal or publisher in mind and you should have checked out their formatting requirements. Now it’s time to start writing!

Notably, many seasoned authors don’t write their articles from beginning to end. For example, if you’re preparing an original research manuscript they suggest writing the methods section first, followed by the results, discussion, introduction, and, lastly, the abstract. This will help you stay within the scope of the article.

Generally, the title for a medical document should be as succinct as possible while conveying the purpose of the article. 

If you’re writing an original research article your title should convey your main finding as simply as possible. 

Avoid using unnecessary jargon and ambiguity.

Some authors recommend including keywords that will help people find your writing in the title.

Your publisher may have a specific abstract format for you to follow. There are three general types of abstract:

• Indicative (descriptive) abstracts provide a clear overview of the topics covered. They are common in review articles and conference reports.
• Informative abstracts summarize the article based on structure (e.g. problem, methods, case studies/results, conclusions) but without headings.
• Structured abstracts use headings as specified by the publisher.

Good abstracts are clear, honest, brief, and specific. They also need to hook readers or your article will never be read (no pressure!).

Many publishers will ask you to come up with some keywords for your article. Make sure they’re specific and clearly represent the topic of your article. 

If you’re not sure about your keywords the National Library of Medicine’s Medical Subject Headings ( MeSH ) website can help. Just type in a term and it will bring up associated subject headings and definitions.

Introduction

The goal of the introduction is to briefly provide context for your work and convince readers that it’s important. It is not a history lesson or a place to wax poetic about your love of medicine (unless you’re writing about history or your love of medicine). Everything in your introduction needs to be directly relevant to the overall goal of your manuscript.

Introductions vary in length and style between the different types of manuscript. The best way to understand what your publisher is looking for in an introduction is to read several examples from articles that are stylistically similar to yours.

Broadly speaking, an introduction needs to clearly identify the topic and the scope of the article. For an original research article this means you explicitly state the question you’re addressing and your proposed solution. For a literature review, the topic and its parameters should be stated.

Importantly, don’t mix the introduction with other sections. Methods and results don’t belong in the introduction.

Abbreviations

If you use terms that are abbreviated, some journals will ask you to include a section after the introduction where you define them. Consult the authors guide to learn how you should handle abbreviations. Also check to see if they have standard abbreviations that you don’t need to define in your manuscript.

A couple of tips for abbreviations:

·        Terms that are only used once or twice should be spelled out, not abbreviated

·        Don’t capitalize each word in an acronym unless it’s a proper noun (e.g. ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), not Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS))

A good methods section will contain enough information that another researcher could reproduce the work. Clearly state your experimental design, what you did in chronological order, including equipment model numbers and specific settings you used. Make sure to include all equipment, materials, and products you used as they could account for future variability. Describe any statistical analyses.

The methods section should describe the following:

·        Population and sampling methods

·        Equipment and materials

·        Procedures

·        Time frame (if relevant)

·        Analysis plan

·        Approaches to ensure reliability/validity

·        Any assumptions you used

·        Scope and limitations

If you are using methods that have been described before you can refer to that publication or include them in your supplementary material, rather than re-writing them in the body of your text.

The results section is where your findings are objectively presented (save your interpretation of the results for the discussion section). Figure out which data are important for your story before you write the results section. For each important data set provide the results (preferably in a table or graph) and include a sentence or two that summarizes the results.

It’s easy to lose sight of the goal of the paper when you’re relaying numbers through the lens of statistics. Make sure to tie your results back to the biological aspects of your paper.

The discussion section is where you sell your interpretation of the data. Your discussion section needs to tie your introduction and your results sections together. A common strategy for the discussion section is to reiterate your main findings in light of the knowledge gaps you outlined in your introduction. How do your findings move the field forward?

Consider each of your results with respect to your original question and hypothesis. If there are multiple ways to interpret your data, discuss each of them. If your findings were not in line with your hypothesis, state this and provide possible explanations.

If your data are inconsistent with other published literature it’s important to consider technical and experimental differences before concluding that you’ve stumbled onto a groundbreaking medical discovery. Discuss all potential reasons for the divergent data.

Key points to include in your discussion section:

·        What your results mean

·        Whether your methods were successful

·        How findings relate to other studies

·        Limitations of your study

·        How your work advances the field

·        Applications

·        Future directions

Don’t draw grand conclusions that aren’t supported by your data; some speculating is okay but don’t exaggerate the importance of your findings.

It’s important to remind your reader of your overall question and hypothesis throughout the discussion section, while you are providing your interpretation of the results. This will ensure that you stay on track while you’re writing and that your readers will understand exactly how your findings are relevant.

This is your final chance to convince your readers that your work is important. 

Start your conclusion by restating your question and identify whether your findings support (or fail to support) your hypothesis. 

Summarize your findings and discuss whether they agree with those of other researchers. 

Finally, identify how your data advances the field and propose new or expanded ways of thinking about the question.

It’s important to avoid making unsupported claims or over-emphasize the impact of your findings. Even if you think your findings will revolutionize medicine as we know it, refrain from making that claim until you have the evidence to back it up.

Figures/Tables

Many readers will get the bulk of their information from your figures so make sure they are clear and informative. Your readers should be able to identify your key findings from figures alone.

Tips for figures and tables:

·        Don’t repeat data in tables, figures and in the text

·        Captions should sufficiently describe the figure so the reader could understand it even if the figure was absent

·        Keep graphs simple! If a basic table will work there’s no need for a multi-colored graph

Acknowledgements

Use the acknowledgments section to identify people who made your manuscript possible. Include advisors, proofreaders, and financial backers. In addition, identify funding sources including grant or reference numbers.

Make sure to use the reference style specified by your target journal or publisher. Avoid too many references, redundant references, excessive self-referencing, and referencing for the sake of referencing. Personal communications, unpublished observations, and submitted, unaccepted manuscripts should generally be avoided.

It should go without saying that you need to be ethical when preparing medical manuscripts. Fabricating or falsifying data is never acceptable, and you put your career at risk. It’s not worth it.

Plagiarism is not a viable strategy for getting works published. Any indication that you’ve plagiarized will be investigated, and if you’re found to have plagiarized your career and scientific reputation are at stake. Any time you refer to published work you need to reference it, even if it was your own publication. Be very careful about self-plagiarizing!

To learn more about ethical writing take a look at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guide: Avoiding Plagiarism, Self-plagiarism, and Other Questionable Writing Practices: A Guide to Ethical Writing , by Dr. Miguel Roig.

Ethics standards require that you submit your manuscript to only one publisher at a time. If you’re caught submitting to multiple editors none of them will publish your work.

Traps to avoid

Seasoned writers told us some of the pitfalls they’ve learned how to watch out for:

Writing versus editing

Writing and editing are not the same. Get comfortable writing , that is, pouring out all of your ideas without editing yourself. Then go back and edit.

Lack of editing

One of the toughest parts of writing is opening yourself up to critique. As hard as it can be, the best way to get a polished and meaningful manuscript is to have other people read it. As writers we can get attached to particular phrases or styles that may not read as well to other people.

Scientific manuscript editing is the toughest of any manuscript editing but if you keep patience and edit honestly it will get easier over time. Imagine that you’re editing someone else’s document to help give you fresh eyes. If possible give yourself a couple of days without looking at the manuscript, then go back and read it.

Being unfamiliar with the literature

It’s important to be familiar with the current literature on the topic you’re writing about. A fatal flaw of any research manuscript is proposing a hypothesis that has already been tested or posing questions that have already been answered.

Not formatting properly

If your manuscript is not formatted properly, it is less likely to be accepted. Make sure your font and line spacing are correct, that you’ve adhered to word and figure limits, and that your references are in the correct style.

Useful tips

Here are some helpful tips that you can use to improve your writing:

Framing your manuscript

A common trope in outlining manuscripts is the inverted triangle approach, which starts generally and ends specifically. A more useful method is to consider an hourglass-shaped outline, which starts generally, specifically addresses your contribution to the field, then ties your contribution back to current knowledge and unanswered questions.

Passive and active voice

Medical writing has long used passive voice to communicate and, while this is still the status quo for many journals, don’t be afraid to get out of that mire. As journals begin to recognize that active voice is not only more economical but can also be more readable they are becoming more comfortable publishing articles that include active voice.

Don’t edit while you write

Get a first draft onto paper as quickly as possible and then edit. Don’t waste time trying to get a paragraph perfect the first time you write it.

Ask someone else to edit

Medical writing does have some unique challenges associated with it. Your audience may not be experts on the material you are delivering, so an ability to communicate complicated information in an accessible manner is very helpful. Improve on your skills by asking people outside of your field to provide constructive criticism on writing samples.

It can be a very useful practice to edit some manuscripts that other people have written. This will help you understand what editors are paying attention to.

Keep track of references

Make sure to keep detailed notes of where you got your references so that you can easily and accurately cite the literature you used. There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to remember where you saw a really great reference.

Before you submit your manuscript

Ideally, you’ve left yourself plenty of time to proofread and have other people edit your document. At the very least make sure you budget some hours to carefully proofread. Triple check that your paper adheres to formatting requirements. You can learn how to proofread scientific manuscripts before submitting them for publication.

Cover letters

If you’re submitting an article for consideration you’ll need to write a cover letter. Take the time to find out who the editor is and address your letter to him or her. This is your chance to communicate with the editor! A generic “To whom it may concern” won’t impress anyone.

Your cover letter should be brief, but it needs to convey the value of your paper to the journal. Describe your main findings and their significance and why they’re a great fit for your publication of interest. 

If you have conflicts of interest, disclose them in your cover letter. Also, if your paper has already been rejected, let them know. Include the reason (if known) and reviewer comments, as well as discussing changes you’ve made to improve the paper.

You can also suggest peer-reviewers or people who shouldn’t review your paper. Be cautious when suggesting reviewers! Some of the most critical reviews come from suggested reviewers.

Your cover letter is an excellent opportunity to prove that you know what the goals of the journal are and that your article furthers them. Don’t waste it!

Reviewer comments/Revisions

If the publisher asks you to address reviewer comments, take the time to do this seriously and thoughtfully. Understand reviewer comments and address them objectively and scientifically (be polite!). If you disagree with a comment, state why and include supporting references. When more experiments or computations are requested, do them. It will make your paper stronger.

When you resubmit your manuscript make sure to identify page/line numbers where changes were made.

What if you’re rejected?

Don’t despair! Rejection happens to every writer. Try to understand why your manuscript was rejected. Evaluate your manuscript honestly and take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

A rejected paper isn’t a dead paper. You’ll need to make some substantial revisions and may need to change your formatting before resubmitting to a new journal or publisher. In the cover letter to the new editor you’ll need to state that your manuscript was rejected. Include any information you got about why your manuscript was rejected and all reviewer comments. Identify changes you made to the paper and explain why you chose to submit to the new journal.

Medical writing can be very rewarding but it’s important that writers have a clear understanding of what publishers are looking for. High-quality, original works that advance the medical field are much more likely to be published than papers that are not original or that have little medical or scientific interest.

Quality medical writing should have clarity, economy of language, and a consistent theme. It’s important to always state the question or topic you’re addressing early and refer to it often. This will help you stay focused and within the scope of your article during the writing process and it will help your readers understand your intentions. Using an outline is a very helpful way to make sure your article is consistently on-topic.

Following the tips and techniques provided here will definitely improve your writing skills, but the most effective way to get better at medical writing is to do it. There is no single best way to prepare a medical manuscript and even professional writers are continuously tweaking their writing strategies.

Hopefully these tips have helped you create a great manuscript. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and want some help with your medical writing or editing, we at The Med Writers can help. Contact us to learn more about our writing and editing services.

“As a neurologist, I have a private clinic and possess significant academic interests; however, it has been challenging to continue my practice and focus on writing. Time certainly has a role to play and I just can’t find enough time to sit and write. My interests are in physician writing, book publishing, and scientific paper writing and I have worked in tandem with research fellows and several medical writers over the years. Partnering with Pubrica has made me a full-fledged doctor-writer. I am now able to do both—write journals and practice my profession. This team there does an excellent job producing high quality papers through an interactive collaboration that allows me to control the process while taking the onus off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Pubrica to any colleague interested in the physician writing field.” - Dr. Pascal Bonheur, France.

Time is indeed places a limit and I just can’t find enough time at home or my lab. My passion is to research and write scientific papers in cardiology surgery, and therapeutics. I have worked closely with my fellow research associates and several cardiologists during my tenure as a doctor. I must say that I achieved my passion by working with Pubrica authors. I am now able to do both—write journals and practice my profession. I would highly recommend Pubrica to any colleague interested in scientific/academic writing.” - Dr. Russel Brown, USA.

“How can I ever thank the team at Pubrica. As a physician, I am busy and by the time I get home, I am dead tired. Writing scientific papers has been on my to-do list for a long time and I accomplish this task with the editing and publication team at Pubrica. I am getting a lot of research material published these days thanks to them. Time should not be a limitation for anyone who wants to publish their insights in their chosen field. My passion is to research and write scientific papers in pediatrics. I have worked closely with my fellow research associates and several doctors. I must say that I achieved my passion by working with Pubrica authors. I am now able to do both—write journals and practice my profession. I would highly recommend Pubrica to any colleague interested in scientific/academic writing.” - Dr. Jean-Claude Nicole, The Netherlands.

The Complete Guide to Medical Writing

The Complete Guide to Medical Writing. Mark C. Stuart, editor. London, UK: Pharmaceutical Press. 2007. 491p. $39.95. ISBN: 978-0-85369-667-4

Readers may use articles without permission of copyright owners, as long as the author and MLA are acknowledged and the use is educational and not for profit.

This multiauthored work is from the Pharmaceutical Press (PhP), the publishing arm of the “Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain founded in 1841. The Society is the regulatory and professional body for pharmacists in England, Scotland and Wales. Its primary objective is to lead, regulate and develop the pharmacy profession” [ 1 ]. The book is indeed complete and speaks to novice writers or students who may be new to the health professions, as well as knowledgeable clinicians and researchers who need help compiling examination questions, writing press releases, or adding publications to their resumes.

The editor is clinical editor for BMJ Clinical Evidence, and the foreword is written by Julia Forjanic Klapproth, vice president of the European Medical Writers Association. Most of the more than twenty authors work in Britain, three are from Malta, one is Australian, and, finally, there is the Plain English Campaign. Nearly all are trained in some aspect of pharmaceutics, though they cover a wide range of topics. One is a qualified librarian. The authority of the PhP and the wide range of expertise and experience among the authors give the reader confidence.

The Complete Guide does not just discuss how to write. It describes every aspect of the medical literature and publishing world. The chapters are collected into six sections that discuss medical writing essentials, reviews and reports, medical journalism and mass media, medical writing in education, medical writing for medical professionals, and medical publishing. It appeals to medical novices who are called on to write but need a better understanding of medicine itself, as well as seasoned clinicians, academics, and researchers who need a better, deeper understanding of the types of writing.

The book is designed to be used as a textbook. Chapters provide many summaries, bulleted lists of major points, questions and answers, and other material such as “Further Reading,” “Useful Resources,” “Glossary,” and “Useful Websites.” “Writing” is used loosely to include live presentations, radio programs, slide shows, advertising and posters, and online research.

Much of the advice is very practical (how to print and bind a thesis), and some is amusing (asking grandma to write down her chocolate cake recipe), but the book is packed with facts and examples. Some of the “typical” document examples are British, but this does not detract from its usefulness.

Besides a thorough back-of-the-book index, the book has useful appendixes of “Common Medical Abbreviations,” “Measurements,” “Normal Values for Common Laboratory Tests,” “Proof Correctional Marks,” and “A to Z of Medical Terms in Plain English.” This last contains many British spellings, but most readers should not find this a problem, especially because British journals and websites are widely read and used, and the few Greek diphthongs (oedema, gynaecology) are easily grasped.

The British origin of the publication, however, may be its only drawback. This will depend on how much the reader needs certain parts of the book. Discussion of ethics, copyright, style, appropriateness of audience, organization of content, various forums for one's efforts—all of these are universal and provide much interesting and useful background. However, if one is preparing a news item for release to the press, the sources on page 423 are of little use outside the United Kingdom. This may be minor compared to the otherwise excellent “Checklist for Writing Press Releases” (p. 186) and the thorough discussion of “Principles of Good Advertising” that begin chapter 12 (pp. 176–).

This reviewer expected considerable discussion of the professional literature, writing of theses, academic material, and similar and indeed was not disappointed. Highlights from the book, which rather surprised this reviewer in their novelty, included “Differences in Writing for Magazines and Newspapers” and “Important Points to Consider when Writing for the Lay Press” (pp. 156–) and “The Top 10 Web Design Mistakes of 2005” and “Writing Style for Websites” (pp. 416–).

Anyone involved in the health professions, whether readers or writers, will appreciate and enjoy this book. While not as much fun as Eats, Shoots and Leaves [ 2 ], it is easier to navigate than the excellent reference, The Chicago Manual of Style [ 3 ], and is a joy to read by any lover of language and its many applications.
