What This Service Covers

I edit journal articles for clarity, coherence, and completeness. I assess whether arguments remain focused and whether the introduction and conclusion and all methods, results, and discussion come through clearly and effectively.

I focus on how the journal article reads to peer reviewers and editors who assess rigor, structure, and fit with a journal’s scope and standards.

How I Work

I review journal articles with attention to structure, logic, and consistency across sections. I identify unclear claims, gaps in explanation, missing context, and presentation issues that distract from the contribution of the work.

I edit with peer review in mind, shaping the writing so arguments, methods, and findings come through clearly under formal editorial and reviewer scrutiny.

Style Guides and Requirements

I follow the style guide and submission requirements specified by the target journal. This includes formatting, citations, references, headings, tables, figures.

I work most often with APA and also follow journal-issued guidelines and publisher standards provided at submission.

  • APA
  • Chicago
  • MLA
  • Turabian
  • Institutional or program-specific guidelines

Who You’ll Be Working With

Since 2008, I have edited journal articles across disciplines and publication contexts. I bring judgment shaped by long experience reviewing journal articles that must withstand peer review.

Before founding my editing practice, I served as an English-language editor at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, editing academic and technical documents for international audiences.
