I am a native English speaking US-based doctoral researcher with over 15 years of experience in academic writing, proofreading and editing. My degrees are in agricultural sciences and entomology and my editing experience has covered a wide range of subject areas including agriculture, forestry, marine biology, medicine, wood engineering and environmental policy. I currently hold an editing position with a journal and have been guest editor for several issues of an international peer-reviewed journal with an impact factor of 0.655. I work closely with authors to revise their articles/theses to publication-ready standards. My work is largely centered on comprehensive editing with language check (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and terminology check). Additionally I often suggest revisions that include rephrasing and reorganisation for logic and clarity, as needed. Many of the academic papers I take in are authored by researchers from around the world, whose native language is not English. Understandably, these researchers struggle with getting their excellent work published due to the language barrier. I take pride and satisfaction in helping get their papers publication-ready. I copy-edit onscreen, in Word, using track changes and comment boxes. My rate is $25 per 1000 words. I would be pleased to give you a no obligation quote.
