Medical & Scientific Writing

For clinicians, medical researchers, and hospital teams who have anonymised clinical data and need a publication-ready manuscript drafted, structured, and formatted in natural British English for their target journal.

What's Included

From Anonymised Clinical Data to a Publication-Ready Manuscript

Five Levels of Preparation in Every Medical Paper

• Complete Drafting & Structuring in British English: Full manuscript preparation (structured abstract, introduction, case presentation, discussion, and conclusions) built directly from your clinical dataset and team notes.
• Clinical Table & Figure Caption Formatting: Clear, consistent presentation of patient variables, laboratory results, and clinical outcomes, cross-checked against the main text.
• Strict Target-Journal Compliance: Full adherence to your target journal's instructions for authors, word-count limits, and citation format (Vancouver, AMA, or house style).
• Reference & DOI Verification: Cross-checking in-text citations against the bibliography and verifying biomedical references and active DOI links prior to submission.
• ICMJE Ethical Transparency: Clinical interpretation always remains with the named authors, and my medical writing support is disclosed in the acknowledgements in accordance with ICMJE guidelines.

The Process

A rigorous, hands-on process

Scholarly publication requires absolute precision. I never simply run a text through a machine and send it back: I edit and check every line myself, and nothing leaves my desk without my full review. Every paper undergoes a thorough three-stage refinement cycle.

01. Send Your Anonymised Data

Email your anonymised clinical dataset, a brief outline of your core clinical findings, and your target journal to mark@markbyrnecopyeditor.com.

02. Fixed Quote Within 24 Hours

I send you a fixed fee and delivery schedule within 24 hours, including one revision round after team review and a second round following peer-reviewer comments.

03. Publication-Ready Delivery

I deliver the complete English manuscript ready to upload, alongside a tracked-changes copy. All clinical data are handled in strict confidence.

Common Questions

Publication and logistics

Which style guides do you support?

How do we handle specialized terminology?

I work with all the major academic style guides, including APA, Chicago, AMA, Vancouver and Harvard. Just tell me your target journal's requirements.

We collaborate closely. You can provide a glossary of preferred terms, and I verify every technical term against established peer-reviewed literature in your field.

How quickly can you deliver?

Do you offer publication guarantees?

Yes — including Horizon Europe and ERC applications. Grant proposals have their own conventions and hard deadlines, so I'd recommend contacting me as early as possible before your submission date to make sure I have capacity.

Yes. All documents are treated in strict confidence as standard, and I'm happy to sign an NDA for grant proposals, unpublished research, or any material your institution requires it for.

Do you edit grant or funding proposals?

Turnaround depends on the length and complexity of the text, and I'll always agree a deadline with you before starting. I'm known for being reliable — I've never missed a deadline in 35 years.

Do you sign confidentiality agreements?

No honest editor can guarantee acceptance — that depends on your research and the reviewers. What I can promise is that your English won't be the reason for rejection: your text will be clear, correct and idiomatic.
