NOTES:
∘ My specialist expertise is in metabolism, biochemistry, nutrition, and exercise science, with a focus on cardiometabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, I can provide services across a broad range of health and medical sciences, and have worked on projects on cancer, immunology, inflammation, neurological diseases (dementia, Alzheimer's), heart disease, reproductive health, and food/dietary supplements.
∘ This service is not available for student theses or dissertations.
∘ I will only request co-authorship on journal manuscripts if, in addition to drafting or revising the manuscript, I make substantial contributions to the conception/design of the work or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data AND provide approval of the version to be published AND agree to be accountable for the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work I have provided. These criteria are based on ICMJE guidelines.
The process:
Initial no-cost consultation
You email me a brief description of your project, including the word count (if relevant), the service you need, and your deadline.
I contact you by email to discuss the details. This might include a phone call or video chat to help me understand your needs and what I can do to help.
Cost estimate
When the details of the project are confirmed, I will email you a cost estimate for your project along with an expected time frame, tailored to meet your deadline.
I get to work
If you agree to the project terms and confirm that you want to proceed, you email me your file(s) and I get to work.
When I have completed the work, I email you the new file(s) and an invoice for payment.
If aspects of my work need clarification, I offer a no-cost follow-up communication to answer questions.
Repeated edits of files/documents beyond the initial follow-up will incur additional charges at the hourly or per-word rate, whichever is applicable.
