Services

I provide substantive, content-level scientific editing for biomedical manuscripts, revisions, and grant applications. All services focus on scientific clarity, narrative logic, and alignment with how editors and reviewers evaluate work. I do not offer standalone grammar correction or proofreading.

Scientific manuscript editing

Designed for authors preparing original research manuscripts or reviews prior to first submission.

This service focuses on strengthening the scientific narrative and internal logic of a manuscript so that results, interpretations, and conclusions are communicated clearly and evaluated on their merits.

Typical areas of focus include:

Core argument structure and narrative flow
Alignment of claims with data and figures
Anticipation of reviewer objections or points of confusion
Precision and consistency of scientific language

Selective Journal Preparation

Designed for authors targeting highly selective journals or competitive editorial contexts where precision of argument, structural coherence, and reviewer expectations require an intensified level of revision.

This service emphasizes strategic framing and editorial positioning, with attention to how novelty, significance, and rigor are assessed by editors and reviewers at competitive venues.

In addition to full manuscript editing, this may include:

Refinement of framing, emphasis, and scientific claims
Journal-appropriate positioning of significance and scope
Alignment of abstract, introduction, and conclusions with editorial expectations

Resubmission Rescue

Designed for manuscripts undergoing major revision or resubmission after peer review.

This service focuses on strategic revision and reviewer-response planning, with the goal of reducing the risk of repeat rejection.

Work typically includes:

Analysis of reviewer comments and decision letters
Identification of core scientific and interpretive concerns
Guidance on revision strategy and response structure
Editorial revision aligned with reviewer priorities

Grant and Proposal Editing

Designed for NIH-style grants and other competitive funding applications.

This service focuses on clarity of aims, coherence of scientific rationale, and alignment with reviewer criteria, rather than stylistic or surface-level edits.
