Why hire an editor?
Scientists and researchers communicate their work to the world via several written means. Journal papers, client reports and press releases are just a few of these channels of communication. Although scientists are passionate about the work that they do and are specialists in their fields of research, not all scientists enjoy writing.
What word for when?
Word lists are tools created by authors and editors to ensure correct spelling and word choice, and consistency of those across one or many documents. The purpose of a word list is to document preferred word spellings so that the author, editor, reviewer and publisher may refer to the list, as they might a dictionary, to ensure the preferred spelling is being used.
Reference wrangling
One of the more time-consuming issues to correct in a document is referencing. Authors can save money, and time, by doing a few checks themselves before editing begins.
