Job Description

Overview
We are looking for a scientific article writer to prepare a full, structured draft of a biomedical narrative review article.
The goal of this role is not to deliver the final, fully polished manuscript, but to produce a comprehensive, well-organised first draft that:
  • Covers all major themes and subtopics
  • Integrates and cites the relevant literature
  • Provides a clear logical structure and flow

This draft will then be used by us as the basis for paraphrasing, rewriting, and shaping the final article. You are therefore responsible for:
  • Identifying and organising the key literature
  • Extracting and summarising important content (with proper citations)
  • Structuring the narrative and sections coherently
  • Producing a complete, detailed draft that we can later refine and rewrite

Collaboration Type & Location
  • Project-based engagement focused on one narrative review, with potential for improvement to a full-time job if the collaboration goes well
  • Your main deliverable is a complete, well-structured draft article with references, ready for us to paraphrase and rewrite
  • Emphasis on:
    • Coverage and organisation of the literature
    • Quality and clarity of structure
    • Correct and consistent referencing
  • Geographically flexible; remote work is possible
  • Physical presence required only in exceptional cases
  • Strong written English required (journal-level clarity is a plus, but we will do the final rewriting and polishing)

Core Mission & Responsibilities
Your mission is to produce an end-to-end initial draft of a narrative review article:
  • Topic Understanding & Outline
    • Discuss and refine the general scope and boundaries of the review with us
    • Propose a clear outline (sections/subsections) and adjust it based on feedback
  • Literature Search & Organisation
    • Search, identify, and collect relevant papers from major databases (e.g., PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar)
    • Organise the literature by theme, mechanism, or conceptual category
    • Maintain a structured record of which papers support which parts of the draft
  • Drafting (Copy–Organise–Cite)
    • Extract key points, findings, and arguments from the selected literature
    • Write a continuous draft that:
      • Covers all agreed sections
      • Clearly indicates which ideas come from which references
      • Includes citations wherever needed
    • You may use copy–paste with proper attribution and citation as part of building the draft, provided:
      • Sources are clearly referenced
      • The structure, ordering, and connections between sections are your own
    • Ensure that the draft is readable and logically coherent, even before final paraphrasing
  • Referencing & Documentation
    • Use a reference manager (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, etc.) or maintain clean citation lists
    • Keep references properly formatted and consistent
    • Provide us with:
      • The draft (Word/Google Docs or similar)
      • The reference list / library (e.g., .bib, .ris, or exported reference file)

You will:
  • Own the timeline for delivering the outline and the full draft
  • Incorporate one or two rounds of structural/coverage feedback (e.g., adding/removing sections, adding missing topics)
  • Focus on content completeness, structure, and referencing, knowing that we will do the final paraphrasing and stylistic refinement

Preferred Background & Experience
Education (one or more of):
  • Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Pharmacy, or related health/biomedical disciplines
  • Alternatively, strong self-taught background plus clear evidence of working with biomedical literature

Experience:
  • At least 2–3 years of experience with academic/biomedical writing or research assistance, including:
    • Literature reviews for theses, dissertations, or research projects
    • Drafting sections of scientific articles, reports, or reviews
  • Comfortable working with primary research papers and review articles
  • Experience using scientific databases and reading full-text articles (not just abstracts)
  • Experience with reference management tools and citation styles

Preferred:
  • 4+ years of experience and a track record of co-authoring or drafting scientific articles (especially review papers), where you had a significant role in literature collection and drafting
  • Previous work where you were responsible for preparing initial drafts that others later refined or finalised

Skills
Technical / Academic Skills
  • Ability to efficiently search and filter biomedical literature
  • Comfortable extracting key information (methods, findings, limitations) from papers
  • Familiarity with reference managers and standard citation styles
  • Solid ability to produce clear, logically structured drafts in English

Analytical & Structural Skills
  • Ability to organise large amounts of literature into a coherent outline and narrative
  • Sensitivity to evidence quality and limitations (e.g., distinguishing strong vs. weak studies)
  • Ability to connect ideas across multiple papers into a unified draft structure

Application Process
Please submit your application via your Jobvision panel and include:
  1. Subject line
    Scientific Article Draft Writer – [Your Full Name]

    Briefly describe:
    • One project where you prepared or contributed significantly to a literature review, thesis, or scientific article draft (context, your role, and outcome).
    • Your main strengths in this type of work (e.g., literature search, structuring reviews, handling references, drafting long sections, etc.).
  3. Up-to-date CV / résumé
    Optionally add:
    • Links to published or draft scientific texts you have worked on (if allowed)
    • A sample of your academic writing (e.g., a thesis chapter, report, or review section) showing your ability to summarise literature and organise content
  4. Current city of residence

Selection Process
  • Shortlisted candidates will be invited to:
    1. A 15–20 minute screening conversation
    2. One short trial task related to:
      • Finding and organising literature on a defined micro-topic
      • Drafting a short, structured section with proper citations
  • A final offer will follow successful completion of these stages.
