ASCA’s medical writing services are designed to support busy healthcare professionals and researchers in preparing manuscripts for academic publication. Our experienced team of expert writers offers reliable and efficient support, allowing clients to focus on their research while we handle the writing process. If you’re struggling with time or resources to complete your manuscript, ASCA is here to help.
Our expert writers, who are specialized in their respective fields, draft original articles or reviews based on an outline and data provided by the author (outline can be in Japanese). The manuscript is developed in three stages (1st to 3rd draft), with incorporated feedback every step of the way. We also offer rewriting services for existing drafts. Estimates are provided based on the manuscript content.
We research the target journal’s submission guidelines and online systems, and provide a list of required documents (e.g., COI disclosure and author agreement forms) and necessary information. If permitted by the journal, we can submit the manuscript on your behalf. For clients who prefer to submit themselves, we offer step-by-step submission guides and screen-sharing support.
Based on your draft responses to reviewer comments (in Japanese or English), our writers revise the manuscript and figures accordingly. We also prepare point-by-point response letters. Turnaround time depends on the volume and complexity of the comments, but we ensure that resubmissions are made in a timely manner.
We provide high-quality English editing and formatting to meet journal submission requirements. Even the most significant research findings must be presented clearly and concisely to be recognized by editors and reviewers.
We propose suitable journals based on your research summary or abstract. Please let us know your desired impact factor range and any specific requirements (e.g., open access, figure limits, and word count). We can also prepare comparison tables of journal submission guidelines for publication planning.
We translate Japanese manuscripts (including mixed Japanese-English drafts) into English for journal submission. Our translators and native editors, both experienced in scientific writing, ensure the final manuscript meets the standards of peer-reviewed journals. Formatting is adjusted to match the target journal’s requirements.
We offer customized academic literature search services, including publication surveys for your own products or competitor’s products, and PICO-based summaries. We tailor the research plan to your goals and budget.

With years of experience and proven expertise, ASCA has developed a clear and efficient writing process. We work closely with each client from concept to completion, ensuring high-quality manuscripts through the following steps:
We provide you with an outline template and request you to complete it in Japanese or English while including background information, methods, results, discussions, novelty, significance, limitations, and desired figures/tables. We also ask you to provide relevant materials (e.g., protocols, SAPs, CSR, and past presentations) before the kick-off meeting.
We hold a web-based (or in-person, if preferred) meeting with the author(s), ASCA writer, and project manager to discuss the outline, target journal, and writing schedule.
The manuscript is developed in three drafts. After each draft, we request feedback (comments or tracked changes). Typically, major revisions are made after the 1st draft, with fewer changes in subsequent drafts.
We hold a web-based (or in-person, if preferred) meeting with the author(s), ASCA writer, and project manager to discuss the outline, target journal, and writing schedule.
