The Division of Life Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), conducts and shares about neuroscience research, particularly on Alzheimer’s disease. They needed a professional copy editor who could deliver on quick turnaround times with high-quality results.
Copy Editing & Proofreading
As a copy editor for the Division of Life Science at HKUST (from 2021 to 2023), I edited and proofread:
- Manuscripts and reviews being submitted to scientific journals
- Reviewers’ comments on submitted manuscripts
- Abstracts
- Press releases
- Presentation scripts
- PhD theses
- Research proposals
- Letters
- Forms
- Etc.
I edited copy (and figures and tables when required) to ensure the writing was concise, clear, and consistent.
I also used editing tools and style manuals, adhered to journal style guidelines and scientific naming conventions, and researched terms and information as needed to ensure a high degree of consistency, organization, and accuracy.
Requested deadlines were often within 24 hours, and I always delivered on time.

A press release I edited for HKUST. Read it here.
More recently, my work with HKUST has been more focused on editing nomination forms, but it was a pleasure to spend two years providing support for the critical research and knowledge translation HKUST is doing to contribute to improved population health.
