(now part of Agra Informa), and for 15 years he has been Director of Sees-editing Ltd., a company specializing in editing papers written in English by non-native speakers. In these capacities he has written, re-written or edited more than 3,000 papers, theses, reports and texts on diverse topics on behalf of hundreds of clients in more than 30 countries.

This linguistic guide to writing a scientific paper for submission to a peer-reviewed journal also demonstrates how to address referees' comments and responses. It focuses less on grammar and vocabulary, and more on the vital elements of discourse such as tenses and clarity.
