About this service
Publications that actually get published
Publication plans exist in most pharma companies. But manuscripts stall, authors don’t respond, and timelines slip — until articles are no longer strategically useful by the time they appear.
We manage the full publication lifecycle — from strategic planning and journal selection to author coordination, submission management, and reviewer response handling.
AI supports literature landscape analysis and timeline tracking — while medical writers and publication managers keep everything moving on schedule.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Can you manage our existing publication plan?
Yes. We can take over an existing plan — audit the current status, identify stalled projects, and get everything back on track.
How do you handle multi-author coordination?
We use structured review cycles with clear deadlines, consolidated feedback, and proactive follow-up — so authors know exactly what’s needed and when.
What journals do you target?
We assess journals based on impact factor, audience relevance, review timeline, and acceptance rates — matching each manuscript to the optimal target.
Can you support regulatory publications?
Yes. We manage clinical study report publications, safety updates, and regulatory-required disclosures alongside strategic publications.
How does AI help with publication planning?
AI monitors competitor publications, tracks timelines, and identifies gaps in the publication landscape — helping us optimize timing and positioning.
