Scientific copy-editor in environmental and agricultural sciences

Profile Summary

I am a freelance scientific copy-editor with four years of experience in editing, proofreading and reviewing pre-submission academic journal manuscripts usually for authors with English as a second language (ESL). My subject areas are soil and agricultural sciences, environmental sciences and atmospheric sciences. I have developed experience handling hundreds of pre-submission manuscripts with companies such as Edanz Group, Accdon LLC, Nature Research Author Services and independently at Soil Science Editing. I can act as an editor, mentor and consultant to provide detailed support to help you get the best out of a research manuscript. I can help with copy-editing, formatting, manuscript optimization, answering peer reviewers, cover letter drafting, abstract creation and journal selection. Please get in touch to discuss your needs.
