In the journal #Nature, an #author asks: "My English skills are hurting my chances in #academic #publishing — how can I improve?" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01350-w

That is why I, as a longtime and respectful #MedicalEditor, specialize in #editing such authors' #research #papers before #submission to #MedicalJournals. www.kokedit.com

As a responsible #MedicalEditor, I explain to my #authors when it might not be immediately clear why I make a particular #edit.

#LinkedIn, you big silly! Though my LinkedIn profile makes it clear that I’m a #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditor, you give me info on companies seeking a *medical doctor*. Your #algorithm doesn’t get it that “medical editor” *does not* necessarily mean “physician.” Please write a wiser algorithm!

Your #MedicalEditor is on #vacation in a cabin in gorgeous #Vermont with some family members and did *not* bring a computer or #manuscripts to #edit❣️

#LinkedIn, you just don't get me, do you? If you'd use the services of humans instead of #AI, you'd send me emails about job ops and #freelancing ops I'm qualified for. I'm an experienced #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditor, not a dentist, a CEO, or a mystery shopper. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kokedit_linkedin-ai-medical-activity-7298051316067516419-KmZn/ 🙄

I love it when the brains of the #author group, the #project #managers, and me all click on how to fix a #medical #manuscript issue. What a big serotonin hit! #MedicalEditor
