Physical Sciences and Engineering
We understand the challenges faced when writing about technical subject matter while ensuring clarity and flow for the reader. Our experts are familiar with technical terminology, units and conventions – something that a non-specialist editor may struggle with.
A trusted name in proofreading and editing
Our editors are well versed in popular style and referencing guidelines used in physical sciences and engineering, such as IEEE format. We can also accommodate for special requests, such as formatting according to a target journal’s guidelines.
If you have any questions or queries after we have returned your document, we will be happy to address these for you. We believe after-care support is important to ensuring the best possible service experience for our clients.
Physical sciences and engineering subjects include:
Astronomy
Astrophysics
Chemistry
Computer/IT Sciences
Earth Sciences
Energy and Power Engineering
Environmental Sciences
Material Science & Engineering
