Independent clinicians
Build a case report, case series, retrospective study, or other publication-ready project even without an institutional research office or personal data team.
For doctors · clinics · hospitals
Your clinical question deserves a complete research team.
microscopIA gives independent clinicians and facilities an integrated alternative to separately hiring epidemiology, data-science, scientific-writing, and publication specialists—from feasibility through the journal pathway.
A feasibility and governance review takes place before any project is accepted.

Review the full framework ↗Collaboration models
The right level of support for the question in front of you.
Each engagement is scoped around scientific value, data readiness, governance, timeline, and the decision the work should inform.
Clinics and hospitals
Access rigorous epidemiology, analytics, writing, and publication management without maintaining a full internal research staff.
International facilities
Use one coordinated partner instead of separately contracting epidemiologists, data scientists, writers, and publication professionals.
Satellite research department
Create an embedded function for recurring study design, analytics, publishing, and portfolio coordination.
How collaboration works
You provide the data. We build the evidence together.
This is not a manuscript-preparation or editing service. After the governed research package is approved, microscopIA leads the remaining scientific workflow while the submitter remains the clinical and data partner.
You bring
The clinical question, governed database or case, approvals, clinical context, and timely expert input.
microscopIA leads
Protocol refinement, data quality, epidemiology, clinical-data analysis, geospatial or economic analysis where relevant, tables, manuscript development, and the journal pathway.
We publish together
Both teams interpret the findings, approve the final manuscript, meet authorship criteria, and respond to editors as one collaboration.

Conduct data management, analysis, interpretation, writing, and internal review.
05Publish
+
Coordinate iterative improvements, reviewer responses, and sequential submission to as many as five journals.
What microscopIA provides

Data-management planning and quality control
Statistical, epidemiological, economic, and geospatial analysis
Scientific writing, figures, tables, and reporting compliance
Journal selection, submission, and reviewer responses
Open-access charge planning when applicable
Bespoke scientific publishing
Book chapters and medical-book editing
By request, microscopIA also supports chapter development, scientific editing, contributor coordination, and medical-book editorial workflows. Scope, schedule, and price are assessed individually.
Enquire about a book project ↗Ready-to-start gate
The service clock begins only when the research package is complete.
The eight-week timeline covers analysis, manuscript development, internal review, and submission to the agreed journal. It does not include journal peer review or acceptance.
01Complete, analysable database or case file
02Ethics committee approval or documented exemption, where applicable
03Signed institutional authorization
04Variable dictionary, clinical context, and contributor details
05Secure transfer route approved by both parties
For prospective studies, clinical trials, and community pilots, data collection must be complete and the database locked. Study design, enrolment, or implementation is scoped separately.Required authorizations
Choose the documents that match your evidence.
Do not upload identifiable patient data through a public form. After eligibility review, microscopIA provides a controlled transfer route.
Clinical study authorization
For retrospective/prospective studies, trials, economic evaluations, and community pilots. Requires the facility research director’s signature.
Download in this language ↓Case report authorization
Requires signatures from the treating clinician, head of the treating department, and patient or legal guardian.
Download in this language ↓Authorship declaration
Every proposed author must certify a qualifying contribution, approve the manuscript, and accept accountability before submission.
Download in this language ↓Templates support screening and must be adapted to local law and institutional policy.
Commercial clarity
Lower entry cost. Shared commitment to the outcome.
The fee contributes to microscopIA team salaries, analytics, manuscript development, and the eligible article processing charge. microscopIA absorbs the remaining delivery cost. Fifty percent is due after proposal approval and 50% only after journal acceptance.
Article processing charge: article processing charge means article processing charge: a fee some journals charge for open access. Every proposal states whether one is expected and how it will be covered.
Colombia: more than 80% of submitter authors must hold Colombian affiliations and the proposal must arrive by day 10. Americas: more than 80% must hold affiliations in other countries of the Americas and the proposal must arrive by day 10. Otherwise, the international rate applies.
Compare Colombia, Americas, and international pricing ↗Authorship & editorial responsibility
A collaborative publication—with defined positions and real accountability.
Qualifying submitter authors occupy the first positions: up to five for a case report and up to eight for every other output. Each additional qualifying submitter author costs USD 150; Colombian projects are invoiced in the COP equivalent.
microscopIA reserves the final four positions for qualifying microscopIA contributors and designates the corresponding author to coordinate the editorial and publication process.
microscopIA contributors may be current network members or supervised students and professionals enrolled in its educational programmes. Payment or enrolment alone never confers authorship; every author must meet the journal’s criteria and sign the authorship declaration.
Beyond the journal
Evidence ready to communicate.
When the work supports it, microscopIA may develop, submit, and track a congress abstract. The partner covers registration, travel, and attendance; acceptance remains the congress organiser’s decision.
Before sharing data
Understand the rules that govern every partnership.
The Trust Center explains acceptance, data handling, responsibilities, authorship, editorial control, publication costs, intellectual property, conflicts, complaints, and integrity safeguards.
Open Transparency & Governance ↗Questions institutions ask
Important answers before a proposal is submitted.
01What must a partner provide?+
A clear question, appropriately governed data when relevant, clinical context, approvals, and timely input. A database alone is insufficient if provenance, permissions, variables, or quality cannot be established.
02Is publication guaranteed?+
No. Journals retain independent authority. The outcome-aligned payment model means the second 50% becomes due only after journal acceptance.
03What happens after a rejection?+
microscopIA reviews the decision, improves and reformats the manuscript, and may submit sequentially to as many as five appropriate journals under the agreed scope.
04Who owns the data?+
Ownership and permitted use depend on the source institution and written agreement. Access, processing, storage, confidentiality, and publication rights are defined before transfer.
05Can microscopIA be our satellite research department?+
Yes. A longer-term model can cover portfolio selection, protocols, analytics, manuscripts, publication management, and internal capacity.
06Can microscopIA support a chapter or medical book?+
Yes, by request. Chapter writing support and medical-book editing are individually scoped and priced after an editorial assessment.
