The role of the medical writer is no longer confined to execution. This session explores how medical writers can expand their impact by being valued strategic partners in publication planning. It discusses their role in shaping publication plans through strategic thinking, navigating ethical and regulatory requirements, and their understanding of critical success factors to assess the impact of publications. We close with a panel discussion tackling the timely issue of recognition of the contribution by medical writers to journal publications — addressing current challenges and envisioning reforms for the future. Attendees will gain practical insights to elevate their roles from writers to strategic partners within publication teams.
