I enthusiastically recommend Carl Richmond as an editor of scientific manuscripts. He is an excellent writer, well-versed in the AMA manual of style, and is a fine choice for medical and scientific professionals seeking a high-quality editing service.

The Medical Editor is a medical and scientific editing service for physicians, faculty, and health care professionals. We have particular expertise helping authors whose first language is not English.
We provide medical editing and rewriting services, medical proofreading, medical copyediting, and scientific copyediting and proofreading of medical and scientific articles, book-length manuscripts, grant applications, and technical documents in most disciplines of biology, biomedicine, biotechnology, and the social sciences.
At The Medical Editor, we help authors improve their chance of publishing in peer-reviewed medical journals by assuring their ideas are expressed clearly in grammatically and idiomatically correct English.
We carefully edit every document in 4 key areas:
- Substantive editing
When needed, we will rewrite sentences, eliminate redundancies, restructure paragraphs, condense materials, remove jargon, check your nomenclature and usage, and otherwise ensure that your manuscript clearly and effectively presents its information to your intended audience. (read more) - Copyediting and Proofreading
We edit every manuscript so that it meets the stylistic requirements of the American Medical Association. We edit for sense, style, preferred usage, and correct grammar. We eliminate jargon. We change words to ensure consistency in tense and format. And we edit for proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. (read more) - Formatting
We will format the abstract, references, text, Tables, Figures, and legends so that they conform to the journal's instructions to authors or to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. (read more) - Reference Accuracy
At The Medical Editor, we ensure the accuracy of your Reference section by verifying each reference at the National Library of Medicine. And if we can’t determine the accuracy of a reference at PubMed, we’ll contact the journal or we’ll use another database. (read more)
We understand that manuscripts destined for peer review are judged not only by the quality of the research they contain—but also by how well they are written and how easily the reader can understand them.
If you do not have the time for the intensive editing that medical writing demands, if English is not your first language, or if you have personnel in your laboratory who have not yet acquired the writing expertise to publish in peer-reviewed journals—then our services will benefit you.
At The Medical Editor, we have been editing medical materials since 1991. Our references are excellent for a reason. You can see who our clients are here, and you can read what they say about us here.
