English as a Second Language authors face additional challenges in getting their work published in major international English-language journals. Journal editors and peer-reviewers sometimes reject ESL manuscripts because English-language mistakes make it difficult to understand the writing and assess the scientific rigor of the research. I can help improve your syntax, sentence structure, grammar, and word choice to make your ESL writing sound more natural to English speakers, so that your work is judged on its own merits.
I have experience editing in US, UK, and Canadian English. I make sure that each manuscript adheres to the correct grammatical, spelling, and diction rules and customs of each region.
I have experience as a writer, editor, and peer reviewer for medical, nursing, and health sciences research articles. For other forms of scientific research, I cannot advise you on the subject matter itself, but I can provide editing, proofreading, referencing, and formatting services and help you meet journal requirements and best practices for scientific communication. For literary or non-scientific writing, I can only provide English-language editing and proofreading services, and help you format your references.
I can work with dissertations, reports, case studies, conference papers, and other types of writing. Please contact me for more info.
