About
My name is Dr. habil. Sushma Prasad. I am a geologist with over two decades of experience in different branches of earth sciences. I have initiated, written, coordinated, and successfully completed several international projects. A significant part of my assignment involved not only publication of scientific work, but also supervising students, and teaching them to write successful Masters and doctoral theses. I also regularly review manuscripts for several ISI Journals and assist in formulating research projects.
My services are online-based. I provide:
- editing services in English for journal articles, Ph.D. theses, books, posters, and technical reports. We can also help you improve your CV and cover letter for job applications.
- guidance on writing proposals for funding agencies.
I guarantee full confidentiality.
Editing
Scientific writing, editing and proofreading services in Earth Sciences
Do you wish to
… produce a research paper for submission to a prestigious international journal?
… write a winning grant application?
… write an impressive CV, job application, prepare a slide or poster presentation?
… get your Masters or PhD thesis proofread by an expert scientist?
The main points addressed in the editing process are
- Spelling, punctuation, and grammar
- Writing style
- Clarity
Documents should be sent to us in Microsoft Word format. I use the “track changes” option to highlight the edits, so that changes can be clearly identified.
Proposals & Projects
A high quality proposal should concisely describe your objectives, why they are important, methodology, timeline, and deliverables. Proposal formats differ depending on the funding agencies, the kind of project you aim to formulate and the discipline you plan to work in.
In addition to proofreading and editing, our experts will work closely with you to help you formulate your proposal and maximise your chances of success.
I also offer proofreading and editing services for final project submission reports.
