English services
As a native English speaker and research scientist with over twenty years' experience of writing, correcting, editing and redrafting documents, I undertake academic correction and editing work on a selective basis.
My principal areas of interest are science, technology and medicine, but texts on any theme are considered.
Correction / editing work may involve:
• Corrections of spelling, punctuation, phrasing and style,
to bring your document up to a native English standard.
• Any document type: manuscripts, theses, letters, reports, articles,
CVs / résumés, grant or funding proposals, application forms.
• Advice and comments: provided in parallel to the corrected document.
• Methods: I prefer editing Microsoft Word files using 'Track Changes' mode, but
other file types, and old-fashioned 'pen and paper' methods are also possible.
Scientific manuscript service
A comprehensive 'package' is offered that includes correction / editing of the:
• Main text document
• Figure and table legends, and figure annotations
• Cover letter to the editor
• Revised manuscript, plus letter of response or rebuttal (where necessary)
Also included, where appropriate, are comments and suggestions relating to manuscript style, scientific content, coherence and logical flow. Comments and suggestions are also made regarding the clarity and presentation of figures and tables.
