In a recent survey by members of MedCommsTech and Galanthus Scientific Group, freelance medical writers (contractors) and industry and agency employees who contract them (contractees) were asked for their perspectives on the utilization of freelance medical writers for publications. We are now delighted to be able to share the results!
The topline results were presented yesterday (12 May 2025) by first author Alex-Torre-Tasso (Galanthus Scientific Group) at the 21st Annual Meeting of ISMPP in Washington, DC, USA: Poster #71 “Perspectives on freelance medical publication writers: contractors and contractees”
For those not attending the ISMPP meeting – a copy of the poster and supplementary material, including the full survey methods and results can be accessed below:
