Manuscript Editing
I offer comprehensive editing services for scientific manuscripts. I provide an accurate and thorough service specifically aimed at helping non-native English speaking scientists communicate their research findings more effectively.
My areas of expertise are analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry.
My editing ensures the scientific content is expressed clearly and correctly with attention given to:
- Correcting spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors
- Editing into proper scientific American or British English
- Eliminating improper language and poor word choice
- Ensuring your manuscript meets journal formatting requirements
- Ensuring references meet journal specifications (verifying references is NOT included)
- Checking for consistency, completeness, and sentence structure
- Checking the manuscript’s content for logic and flow
- Free re-editing (unlimited*) until your manuscript is publication-ready
- Free editing of your cover letter or rebuttal letter to address reviewers comments
*On the condition that you do not make textual changes after my editing is complete.
Comprehensive editing for scientific manuscripts is completed within the standard turnaround time of 5–7 business days for orders up to 6000 words, and 7–10 business days for orders ranging from 6000–12000 words. For documents exceeding 12000 words contact me for a turnaround time.
