Scientific and regulatory work depends on method, traceability, and integrity. Assignments are executed with documented procedures, accurate citations, and language calibrated to the strength of evidence. Claims are supported by primary sources wherever available, and uncertainty is stated when material to decisions.
Authorship and contributorship follow ICMJE recommendations and target-venue policies. Contributions are documented at scoping, acknowledgments are obtained where required, and funding and potential conflicts of interest are disclosed in writing on request. Publication ethics align with COPE guidance. Plagiarism, duplicate submission, and guest or ghost authorship are not permitted.
Methods and reporting standards are applied as appropriate to the assignment. Examples include ICH E3/E6(R2) for clinical documentation, CONSORT for clinical trials, PRISMA for systematic reviews, and discipline-specific checklists when relevant. Terminology is harmonised across sections, cross-references are maintained, and links from narrative to tables, figures, and source data are preserved for audit.
Data integrity is treated as a core requirement. Figures and tables are produced from verifiable sources, calculation steps are archived, and units, thresholds, and effect directions are checked against originals. Image or figure manipulation beyond clarity adjustments is not performed. Any post-hoc analysis or re-analysis is labelled clearly as exploratory.
Use of computational and generative tools is controlled. No undisclosed automated text generation is used in deliverables. Drafting assistants may support formatting and phrasing under strict human review; literature searches, data extraction, and evidence grading follow protocolled steps when specified, and responsibility for accuracy remains with the author. Client data are never used to train external systems.
Confidentiality and data protection are maintained under GDPR. Where applicable, a data processing agreement can be executed, with data residency observed on request. File transfer uses encrypted channels, access is limited to named participants, and version control preserves change history. Materials are retained only for the period required by the statement of work and client policy; secure deletion can be certified on request.
Corrections and retractions are handled transparently. If an error is identified after delivery, an amended version is prepared without delay and the change history is documented. Where a public record exists, language suitable for an erratum, corrigendum, or other formal notice is provided as appropriate.
Editorial independence and compliance are preserved across assignments. Sponsor and stakeholder input is incorporated with clear attribution, and competing interests are recorded. Language that could overstate efficacy, understate risk, or imply unsupported certainty is avoided. Regional regulatory expectations are respected when documents are prepared for multiple jurisdictions. Services are limited to scientific and technical work for organisations and do not include patient-facing clinical advice.
