Abstract
Prompt publication of clinical trial results in peer-reviewed journals is essential to advance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. The involvement of professional medical writers (PMWs) in the preparation of these clinical research manuscripts can enhance their quality and shorten publication timelines. For early-career PMWs, research manuscript projects can be daunting. In this guide, first I share my perspective on how PMWs contribute to such projects and the essential skills and competencies we should provide. Then, I describe my tactical approaches to initiating these projects, developing the first draft of a detailed outline or manuscript, and avoiding some common pitfalls that can undermine the quality of a manuscript. Finally, I share some tips for working with challenging personalities.
