Consultation Overview
Article Preparation
Preparing an article goes beyond experimental details, results, and discussions. Many factors decide a good article, which, sadly, are not introduced to PhD students. They are expected to learn on the go. Though learning by repetition is part of research, repeated efforts on the same thing is time-consuming. Time is a luxury that most PhD students in the last lap of their research or with family commitments cannot afford, especially if they are working part-time jobs too. I offer my services to these students, starting with setting the article's intent, organising the sections, figures, and tables, and referencing the article.
Services focus on manuscript intent, narrative structure, figures and tables, references, journal fit, and reviewer-ready documents. Confidentiality assured; no data fabrication or manipulation.
Core deliverables (choose per package)
Intent & target‑journal selection: clarify research angle and recommend 1–2 journals with fit and impact considerations.
Structured outline & story arc: 1–2 page outline mapping sections, key messages, and logical flow.
Figure & table optimization: annotated suggestions to improve clarity, captions, and layout.
Results & Discussion polish: rewrite and reorganize to emphasize claims supported by data.
Methods checklist & reproducibility notes: ensure essential experimental details and suggestions for SI.
Reference formatting and citation cleanup per journal style.
Cover letter and submission checklist: tailored draft and required items list.
Mentoring sessions: synchronous calls to set intent and review drafts.
