CORE Reference offers globally applicable resources for clinical study reporting, including a user manual and a mapping tool, and continuous professional development (CPD) resources. This report presents the results of the 2023 Utility Survey conducted by the CORE Reference Project Team to measure the awareness and perceived usefulness of these resources by the regulatory medical writing community. The survey found an increased use of the CORE Reference open-access manual, compared to results of the 2017 survey. Most respondents found the resources extremely, or somewhat, useful for preparing disclosure-ready clinical study reports. Over half of the respondents were aware of the CORE Reference CPD resources. Most respondents found the bi-monthly news summary extremely, or somewhat, useful. One-third of the respondents required knowledge of the reporting and public disclosure landscape in Asia and found the updates of Asia extremely, or somewhat, useful. The survey results indicate a positive reception of the CORE Reference Project amongst regulatory medical writers.
