ABOUT US

History and Mission

For over three decades, Medwrite has provided expert medical content development and education. During its first decade, Medwrite grew from a founding medical writer to an organization with multiple international peer colleagues in research writing and editing, statistical analysis, publishing, and interactive media. In the recent nearly two decades, we have formed strategic alliances with an ACCME university CME partner, a medical-specialty translation group, and two worldwide publishing consortiums to support our scientific publishing initiatives.

Medwrite’s goal is to help customers communicate research outcomes in the published scientific literature by providing expert manuscript development capabilities and research-writing training.

Our modus operandi is meticulous care in project execution and integrity in our business dealings.

Our publication commitment to you...

In order to minimize the potential for conflict of interest in research publishing and ensure fair attribution of authorship, Medwrite is committed to the following "Good Publications Practices" (GPP) charter:

"Good Publication Practices" Charter

Medwrite endorses and is a practitioner of the 2003/2009 "Good Publication Practices" document, the American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) Code of Ethics, and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Code of Conduct that mandate transparent writing collaboration through the clear crediting of all writers and editors of scientific articles, and the clear disclosure of sponsorship. Thus, it is Medwrite policy that a Medwrite writer whose work merits co-authorship, as determined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines (http://www.icmje.org/ethical_1author.html), will receive authorship credit on an article’s byline; alternatively, if he/she works in a substantive revision or editorial capacity, he/she is credited with having performed that work in the article’s Acknowledgments section.

Medwrite is very pleased to assist customers at any level of service selected.
