I’ve gone on record with my disdain for reference sections in documents, and similarly, I am not a huge fan of glossary sections. A glossary section is a point of failure in that the same terms used across documents will inevitably start drifting. A preferred practice is to have a common glossary instead so there is one source of truth. Several eDMS platforms even have this as a feature.
Go a step further and just use the already existing glossaries. The WHO’s Quality Assurance of Medicines Terminology Database is an underutilized resource in the pharmaceutical quality world. One should use this as a starting point for your glossary or, better yet, only provide terms not in this database. Again, I know of at least one eDMS where you can point the glossary feature at this external database.
