STM Editor with 5+ years of experience; writer, peer-reviewer

Profile Summary

Skilled and experienced professional with excellent knowledge of STM publication, scientific writing, and editorial guidelines. Would love to connect for a suitable role to help clients using my education and past experiences. 
My educational background and strong scientific writing skills have helped me master scientific terms, concepts, and jargon. Furthermore, my 6 years of research experience provided me the opportunity to work on several different projects ranging from Master’s and doctoral thesis editing, assisting my principal investigator with accurate editing and proofreading scientific manuscripts, and writing grants and reports.
In the last year of my Ph.D. at the National Institute of Immunology, I started working as a Freelance Scientific Editor for a reputed firm. My job here involved substantively editing and proofreading scientific manuscripts (Life Sciences/Medical Sciences) and checking them for consistency, flow, syntax, and grammar to produce informative, readable, and valid scientific documents.
I joined a Medical Publisher in 2017 as a copy editor (books and journals) and was promoted to the position of Assistant Project Manager within 6 months. I then worked here as a Project Manager and oversaw the entire editorial and production process of assigned journals—from the stage of acceptance of articles to their online and print publication—thus maintaining the overall health of journals. This also involved liaising with the authors and editors to streamline the overall work and bring out the publications in a timely manner. This honed my eye for minute details, improved my organizational and multi-tasking skills to manage multiple assignments successfully, and meet tight deadlines.
I am currently working for an international firm in the field of Science Communications and I am involved in editing manuscripts targeted for publication in biomedical and health science journals. The work involves thorough checking of all elements of a manuscript for language, grammar, proper sentence structure, and facts, along with rephrasing and providing suggestions to authors, thereby maintaining the author’s message. Meanwhile, I also got a few opportunities to showcase my writing abilities by writing case reports and research articles for ESL authors. Besides, working on manuscripts for an international journal honed my peer-review and content developmental skills as I was involved in working on raw manuscripts and carefully scrutinizing them for scientific content quality, and performing deep editing.
I have a good command over both UK and US English styles, an understanding of AMA and other style guides, and experience working in a publishing house, with good knowledge of publication ethics. My expertise lies in the field of Microbiology, Biomedical Sciences, Cell and Molecular Biology, Pathology, and Infectious Diseases.
