Editing
of Research Manuscripts and Review Articles
 English
is the common, required language of science, since
today nearly every international science journal publishes
in English. While this standard greatly facilitates
the flow and exchange of scientific information worldwide,
it can also be an obstacle to scientists whose native
tongue is not English. With life sciences journals
typically receiving far more manuscripts than they
are able to publish and journal editors reluctant
to encumber their referees, the usual fate of a poorly
composed manuscript is rejection, even though the
work may have scientific merit.
At
Squirrel Scribe we are proficient writers of technical
English with firsthand experience of science editing.
We also have a deep understanding of the scientific
enterprise, because we’re scientists, too. If
writing in English is not one of your strengths, but
you desire to have your work published in the best
journals possible, then let Squirrel Scribe improve
your manuscript, before you submit it to a journal
and peer review.

obligation. We welcome manuscripts from any life sciences
field.

Copyediting,
Proofreading and Fact-Checking of Works for Medical,
Pharmaceutical and Other Specialty Publications
 Need
a second opinion on your AMA-style article or promotional
copy? We can help. At Squirrel Scribe we scowl when
we read in the popular press that E. coli is
a virus or that Watson and Crick discovered
DNA (actually, it was Miescher, circa 1872). We know
that milli-something units won’t do where micro was intended, yet we encounter this thousand-fold slipup
all too often when copyediting. Our point is simply
this: at Squirrel Scribe we believe that accuracy is
essential in science and medical writing. If your written
material requires the highest standards of copyediting,
proofreading or fact-checking, then contact Squirrel
Scribe today for a free, no-obligation quote. |

Reviewing
and Editing of Grant Proposals
 At
Squirrel Scribe we strongly recommend the Grant Application
Writer’s Handbook (2004) by Liane Reif-Lehrer,
which provides essential advice for creating your best
possible NIH or NSF proposal. However, we are also mindful
of Dr. Reif-Lehrer’s admonition, that “…bad
writing can turn a good idea into a poor grant proposal.”
Whether you are seeking funding from the National Institutes
of Health, the National Science Foundation or another
agency, if your ideas are good but your writing needs
improvement, then Squirrel Scribe can help you succeed. |
