Institutional research agreements

One agreement.
A clear plan for your research.

Bring your departments, available data, and publication priorities into one coordinated program. Sanad offers research and scientific writing support to hospitals, associations, universities, and other organizations.

Discuss an institutional agreement

Paid programs are scoped around your material, priorities, and available expertise. Original research requires data that have already been collected and are available for authorized use.

Research workstreams

What one agreement can include.

Original articles
Collected and available data.
Review articles
Topics selected by your institution.
Clinical case reports
Complete records and publication consent.

The delivery detail is shared with clients

The workflow, deliverable lists, agreement models and downloadable briefs are shared directly with organizations we are in conversation with. If you have an access code from Sanad, enter it here. If not, use the form below and we will send it.

Before we scope your program.

Can one agreement cover several departments?
Yes. A shared framework can cover multiple departments, with a clear scope and accountable institutional lead for each workstream.
Do we need an existing dataset for a review article?
No. For reviews, agree on the topic, review type, evidence sources, and responsibilities. Original data-based articles require collected and available data.
Is publication in a Q1 journal guaranteed?
No. We can target suitable Q1 journals when appropriate, but journal fit and editorial decisions determine the outcome. Agree on deliverables the team can control.
Are article processing charges covered?
Yes, when a paper is accepted in a well-indexed Q1 or Q2 journal, on the terms set out in your agreement. The agreement also sets out who pays in any other case. Our publications to date have been predominantly in Q1 journals, with a small number in Q2.
How is a program priced?
After reviewing the material, complexity, planned outputs, and support required. The proposal states the scope, currency, milestones, and applicable terms.

Tell us what your institution wants to achieve.

Start with your organization, departments, available material, planned outputs, and preferred timing. A nonconfidential outline is enough for the first conversation.

Please do not send patient records, identifiable images, or datasets through the public inquiry form.
