PLATFORM FEATURES
Everything a Publication Team Needs — Built for Medical Affairs
A comprehensive feature set designed specifically for the review, annotation, approval, and governance requirements of pharmaceutical Medical Affairs and publication planning teams — not adapted from a generic document management tool.

Unlike generic document collaboration tools adapted for pharma use, MphaR's platform is built from the ground up for Medical Affairs publication workflows — with every feature designed around the specific compliance, scientific accuracy, and multi-stakeholder governance requirements of abstract and manuscript review in regulated pharmaceutical organisations.

Inline Document  Annotation

Reviewers annotate directly on the document — at the word, sentence, or section level — with comments, suggested revisions, and scientific queries captured precisely in context and attributed by reviewer.

Annotations exportable with full reviewer attribution for response tracking.

Multi-Round Review Management

Structure the review process across as many rounds as required — with each round producing a clean new version, a consolidated change log, and a clear record of which comments were addressed and how.

Round-by-round version comparison available for all stakeholders

Structured Approval Workflow

Define multi-stakeholder approval chains — Medical Affairs, regulatory review, legal, external authors — with configurable approval sequences, mandatory sign-offs, and automated escalation for overdue reviews.

Parallel and sequential approval configurations supported.

Version Control & Document History

Every version of every document is stored, accessible, and clearly labelled — with a complete history of changes, reviewer contributions, and approval decisions from first draft to final submission.

Full document lineage available to Medical Affairs and compliance teams at any time.

Deadline Management & Automated Reminders

Set congress submission deadlines, internal review milestones, and reviewer assignment deadlines — with automated reminders, escalation alerts, and a real-time deadline dashboard for programme managers.

Critical path tracking for time-sensitive congress submission windows.

Reviewer Assignment & Tracking

Assign reviewers by document type, therapeutic area, or review round — with real-time visibility into who has reviewed, who is pending, and what each reviewer's contribution has been at every stage.

Conflict-of-interest declarations can be built into reviewer onboarding workflow.

Discussion & Resolver Threads

Every annotation can spawn a threaded discussion between the reviewer, the author, and Medical Affairs — with comments resolved, responded to, or escalated within the platform, maintaining full context throughout.

Open and resolved comment status tracked with timestamp for audit purposes.

Review Templates by Document Type

Set congress submission deadlines, internal review milestones, and reviewer assignment deadlines — with automated reminders, escalation alerts, and a real-time deadline dashboard for programme managers.

Critical path tracking for time-sensitive congress submission windows.

Compliance, Security & Audit Export

A fully secure, role-based access environment with complete audit log export — providing Medical Affairs teams with a defensible, timestamped record of every review action for regulatory, governance, and publication ethics compliance.

GDPR-compliant with configurable data retention and access permissions.

REVIEW WORKFLOW
From Submission to Approval — Every Step Structured & Tracked
MphaR's platform guides every document through a defined, auditable review lifecycle — eliminating ambiguity about document status, reviewer responsibilities, and approval requirements at every stage of the process.
