Medical and Scientific Publications
Integrating a wealth of publications writing experience with innovative thinking and strong project management, we provide full scientific publications support for the biopharmaceutical industry. From writing, editing, and graphic design to strategic planning and publication management, Acumen has you covered. With experience supporting both small and large clients, we provide strategic and engaged publications leadership, no matter what stage of your program’s development.
“We worked closely with Acumen’s publication team on the successful acceptance of our Phase 2 manuscript by a major medical journal. Acumen’s team was very flexible, responsive and provided excellent technical guidance for medical journals and authorship.”
Publications Writing
At Acumen, our experienced team of PhD-level clinical and nonclinical writers has deep and broad experience supporting the full range of publication needs and is adept at driving International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and Good Publication Practice (GPP) compliance.
The majority of our publications writers hold PhDs in relevant scientific fields; the majority of our lead clinical writers are certified medical publication professionals (CMPP™).
Our full-service team supports the development of your abstracts, posters, presentations, and manuscripts from conception to final submission, including writing, graphic design, editorial review, quality control, and submission/resubmissions.
Manuscripts
At Acumen, our expert writers support your author team to efficiently develop strong, clear, and accurate manuscripts. We support author teams with all aspects of manuscript development, assisting with journal selection, author collaboration, timeline management, and comprehensive writing and editorial support.
Our work only ends when your work appears in print.
Conference Presentations
Unlike many medical writing companies that simply format your data into a poster or slide deck, we go further by tailoring your presentation for the appropriate audience and visually enhancing your presentation.
At Acumen, we leverage our extensive experience to ensure your content stands out at conferences. We provide full-service support for conference presentations, from writing and submitting abstracts to creating polished, professional posters and slide decks. Our team ensures your key messages are clear and supported by accurate text and high-resolution graphics. We also manage all aspects of sizing, printing, and shipping your final materials, giving you the time you need to focus on other essential preparations.
Strategic Planning Support
Medical Communication Strategy
As your program develops, our dedicated team stands ready to support you. Together, we will craft a cohesive scientific narrative that serves as the cornerstone of an integrated strategic medical communication plan. We collaborate closely with your team to ensure the consistency and clarity of scientific messages across various dissemination channels, enhancing the impact and reach of your research.
Congresses
With our congress planning tool and database of up-to-date congress information, we help you plan ahead for your abstract submissions. Once you’ve targeted the right congress, our team of writers and editors can help you to produce all the materials that you will need.

Technology Makes our Med Pubs Better
At Acumen, we seek to enhance efficiency through technological innovation. Our team has created the Acumen Smart Document Solution, tailored specifically for scientific writers and editors. This software includes a customizable electronic style guide (a Microsoft Word add-in) that allows all documents to be scanned to ensure they meet your or your target journal’s exacting consistency and editorial standards. AcuCite, our advanced reference management system, streamlines citation collection and formatting, with direct access to databases like PubMed. And, we’ve developed a Publication Writer Guide that provides guidance (or best practices) and checklists in a side panel to ensure that each publication is meticulously crafted and reviewed to uphold industry-leading standards.
To learn more about how these and other tools can help your team, please schedule a demo.
