Expert medical writers and editors ensure that all scientific content is:

  • Aligned with strategic messaging platforms and product positioning
  • Compliant with journal or congress requirements, as well as ICMJE, GPP, and regulatory guidelines
  • Written to reflect appropriate tone, format, and referencing style for peer-reviewed publications, posters, abstracts, and scientific presentation

The team manages the end-to-end submission process, streamlining communication with journals, congresses, and platforms such as PubMed Central or clinical trial registries. Rigorous QC processes are embedded at each stage to ensure:

  • Accuracy of data (fact-checking, cross-referencing with source material and tables)
  • Consistency in style, tone, and formatting across multi-asset campaigns
  • Version control and audit readiness, with traceable documentation and systematic review protocols
  • Regulatory and compliance alignment, including adherence to medical writing standards and sponsor-specific SOPs

Handling rejection

Manuscripts are occasionally accepted on first submission without revisions. But it’s rare. At prestigious journals, most manuscripts are rejected. All authors get some form of journal rejection during their careers. Do you amend the paper based on the feedback and resubmit, or do you go back to the drawing board?

Employing our journal response process the Niche team can provide support to ensure a rapid response to rejection and minimise any delay resulting from rejection:

Please review the checklist provided in our Insider’s Insight on handling rejection if you are considering your response to a recent negative journal response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Profiling within the scientific literature provides a major contribution to the successful launch of a proWe start by thoroughly reviewing the journal’s author guidelines, paying close attention to requirements for manuscript formatting, reference style, word limits, figure resolutions, and supplementary material. 

We confirm that the manuscript is formatted accordingly using checklists to track compliance with journal-specific instructions, such as referencing formats (e.g., Vancouver, APA) and figure resolution (typically 300-600 dpi).

Before submission, we run a final check to confirm that all required sections, like ethics statements, conflict of interest declarations, and funding sources, are included.duct. It also provides the reference source for monographs, advertising, sales force documents and other promotional material before and after launch.
We follow the ICMJE and GPP guidelines for authorship criteria, ensuring that all authors have made substantial contributions to the work and that their roles are clearly stated. 

We coordinate collection of conflict-of-interest statements and that any funding sources are disclosed transparently. 

We confirm that submissions include ethical approval statements for human or animal studies and that data transparency is maintained, particularly when reporting clinical trial results.
We adopt a collaborative approach to revisions, incorporating feedback from authors, editors, and peer reviewers in a structured and timely manner. We work closely with authors to agree on how best to address reviewer comments, ensuring that the resubmission process is seamless and well-coordinated. 

For each round of feedback, we create a detailed response letter that addresses every comment, outlining how each point has been resolved or providing justification if changes were not made. 

We ensure that revisions are clearly highlighted in the manuscript, and cross-reference these changes with the response letter to maintain transparency.
