Manuscripts
I help clients write, edit, submit, and re-submit research manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals.
Clients provide starting material that ranges from a rough outline to a complete manuscript. I can also assist with figure preparation, statistical analyses, and writing or editing rebuttals for manuscript re-submission. Being listed as an author depends on my contributions.
Some recent examples:
Constraints on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity: limits and costs of phenotype and plasticity
My Contribution
This paper resulted from a working group at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center. I helped formulate ideas underlying the paper and edited the paper.
Breath gas metabolites and bacterial metagenomes from cystic fibrosis airways indicate active pH neutral 2,3-butanedione fermentation
My Contribution
I helped interpret data, prepare figures, write sections of the manuscript, and edit complete manuscript drafts. I was involved from early draft stage through proof corrections.
