Please bear with me while I update this website. To explore working together or if you have a question, contact me here or on LinkedIn. Thank you!
On this page, I showcase my editing and proofing work, beginning with research articles published in international peer-reviewed journals with impact factors of up to 9.8. This type of work sits between my translation services and the scientific writing coaching that I also offer. Occasionally, such contracts grow into long-term research partnership and co-authorship. Get in touch and we will find which collaboration option on this spectrum works best for you!
My editorial expertise draws on over 22 years of experience supporting faculty members and PhD students at major Romanian universities. Apart from publishing my own educational and research work, I taught scientific writing at PhD level, and I contributed translation, editing, or proofing of numerous curricular and scientific texts at the „Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy Iași during 2003-2021.
Since 2018, I have been providing freelance editorial services along with certified medical translations between English and Romanian.
See examples below and contact me to discuss how I can help you get your manuscript published. Please note that I am not the author of these texts, so I am not responsible for the accuracy and originality of the contents.
If you need full translation in the language pair English <-> Romanian, visit my Translation page.
