Scientific Proofreading and Editing - ESL Specialty
Description
Scientific Journal Article Proofreading/Editing – ESL Specialty
Service
I provide a proofreading and editing service to help prepare your scientific article for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. I can work on specific sections (e.g., abstract, introduction) or whole articles (including reference formatting).
I specialize in helping academics whose first language is not English by addressing common syntax mistakes, spellchecking, and making comments while leaving the original voice of the author intact. Please note that I will not write assignments or essays - my goal is to preserve your voice and ideas while addressing errors.
What you can expect to receive
You will receive a document with tracked changes along with your original copy. There may be comments attached to address any inconsistencies or missing information, as well as pointing out formatting issues. Lastly, if there are common, repeated errors, I will provide information and links to websites to help you learn how to avoid these errors in the future.
Normal editing time is 2-3 days, but can be as fast as same day depending on my current workload and length of document.
Qualifications
MSc from an R1 university and over one decade of tutoring and scientific/academic writing experience. I am currently an active researcher and am up to date on current publishing trends. I have several first-authored peer-reviewed papers in publication (highest impact factor = 7.1; writing samples available upon request).
