PhD Academic Editor - manuscript editing, journal targeting & response-to-reviewers for SSCI/Scopus publication

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified applied linguist and academic editor with 14+ years of research, teaching, and manuscript-development experience. I help researchers particularly those writing in English as an additional language, turn their work into publishable papers and place it in international SSCI- and Scopus-indexed journals. Editing and publication support: I provide developmental and substantive editing, copyediting, and proofreading; refine structure, argument, clarity, and academic register to APA 7th and journal house styles; and advise on journal selection, scope-and-fit assessment, desk-rejection diagnosis, and response-to-reviewer strategy. Research and analysis: I design and conduct corpus-based and discourse studies, and offer corpus analysis (AntConc, Sketch Engine, #LancsBox, WordSmith, Wmatrix), critical and multimodal discourse analysis, thematic and qualitative coding (NVivo), and quantitative/statistical review (SPSS, R). My subject expertise spans applied linguistics, education and TESOL, communication and media/discourse studies, the social sciences, and humanities. Selected ongoing work includes corpus-assisted discourse studies (e.g., framing in digital and social media), multidimensional analyses of newspaper language, and gendered-language studies in professional and educational discourse. I am the author of 30+ peer-reviewed articles including in SAGE Open, Springer's Corpus Pragmatics, and the RUDN Journal of Language Studies (Q1) and I have mentored 40+ postgraduate researchers to completion and publication. Education: PhD and MS in Applied Linguistics, and an MA in English. I am formally trained in SSCI publication standards (University of Queensland, 2026). I welcome projects in manuscript editing, journal targeting, corpus and discourse analysis, statistical review, and dissertation coaching.
