Profile Summary

I am an MBBS-trained medical researcher and scientific writer with 5+ years of experience in peer review, systematic reviews, and evidence synthesis. I have authored and reviewed work published in indexed international journals including The American Journal of Gastroenterology, Gastroenterology, Circulation, and Annals of Medicine and Surgery. I specialize in fast, high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses, managing the entire workflow from literature search to submission-ready manuscripts. I am highly proficient in Rayyan and Covidence, with experience screening 10,000+ records, performing risk-of-bias assessments (Cochrane RoB-2), GRADE evaluations, and structured data extraction. I have completed 40+ verified peer reviews for Elsevier and PLOS journals, focusing on methodological rigor, statistical validity, and adherence to reporting standards (PRISMA, CONSORT, STROBE). My work is known for speed, accuracy, and clear, actionable feedback. I offer paid, remote support for systematic reviews, literature reviews, manuscript drafting/editing, peer-review support, and research consulting. I deliver publication-ready work on tight timelines and communicate clearly throughout the project.
