ALEX EDELMAN & ASSOCIATES SCIENTIFIC EDITORS
|
Alex Edelman & Associates is a team of expert scientific writers trained to PhD level in biological sciences. Every member of our team has experience in research and has been trained in scientific writing. Our goal is to use our expertise to edit (improve and, where necessary, rewrite) articles for research scientists whose first language is not English. We also offer translation and scientific writing services.

We have more than one thousand regular clients, most of whom are research scientists at public research institutions, universities and hospitals. We also work with a number of companies and European institutions. We have been active in this domain for more than a decade and have improved many thousands of research articles for publication in major scientific journals, including some of the most prestigious (Nature, Science, The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine, for example). |

|
A good scientific paper must convey complex ideas and information clearly and succinctly. This can be difficult to achieve if you are writing in a foreign language. We help scientists whose first language is not English to get their articles published, by correcting and modifying draft manuscripts to make the message clear and the style appropriate. |
|
Every member of our team has a PhD in biological science and has been trained in scientific editing. This specialist background enables us to go beyond simple grammar and spelling correction. We can improve the presentation of articles, modify the structure and style appropriately and check that the ideas flow logically. We can eliminate linguistic problems, ensuring that your article is judged on its scientific merits rather than on the way in which it is written.
Types of text edited
We edit all types of text directly related to scientific research including:
- Research articles
- Review articles
- Letters to editors
- Responses to referees (please enclose the referees' comments)
- Referee's reports
- Book chapters
- Grant proposals
- Posters
- Slides
- Seminars (we can also provide you with a cassette recording so that you can perfect your pronunciation).
Turnaround time
Normal service
Texts are dealt with in order of arrival and consequently the turnaround time is variable. Please inform us of any deadline you have to keep.
Priority service
We offer a rapid service with a guaranteed turnaround time of 3 working days for correction (up to 10,000 words) and for translation (up to 5000 words). On request, it may be possible to deal with some texts more rapidly.
We can translate biological and medical texts directly from French into English. Translations from Dutch or Spanish into English are also possible on request. We do not translate from English into these other languages. We also offer a mixed correction/translation service: you can send us a text written partly in French (or Spanish or Dutch) and partly in English.
We offer a specialist service for writing scientific reports and journalistic-style articles.
Our clients in this field include
-
magazines,
-
international institutions
-
small companies.
