MANUSCRIPT EDITING
Your manuscript represents months or years of work. Isn’t it worth the best possible presentation? An edited manuscript demonstrates high professional standards and will help maximize the impact of your results
GRANT EDITING
Grant proposals are the foundation of a research career. With success rates now approaching 10%, you will face stiff competition. Editing will help your proposal stand out in a crowd
MEDICAL TRANSLATION
Understanding a medical text is crucial. As a fluent Dutch speaker and medical researcher with 30 years experience, I can provide a highly professional Dutch-English medical translation
Editing levels
BASIC
Basic Editing “an error-free text”
Basic editing is for authors with near-native English. English grammar and spelling will be checked and corrected where necessary, but the text will not be rearranged or rewritten. Editing will specifically address the following issues:
* Spelling (UK or US), punctuation, capitalization, and use of italics
* Grammar issues, including word order, run-on sentences, comma splices, fragments, agreement of tenses, etc.
* Appropiate use of words, ambiguities and weaknesses in communication (indicated only)
INTERMEDIATE
Intermediate Editing “a clear message”
Intermediate editing is for authors with a good command of English who may struggle to produce a manuscript of acceptable quality. Intermediate editing extends the editing process to include:
* Natural structure and clarity of sentences
* Stylistic weaknesses such as awkward constructions, inflated sentences, etc.
* Redundancy, repetition and ambiguous statements
* Comments on the overall clarity and logic of your presentation
ADVANCED
Advanced Editing “conveying ideas”
Advanced editing is about communicating the message in your data. The style and flow of your writing can work for your message or against it.
* We will help you to communicate clearly and succinctly
* The title should grab attention and the abstract should clearly convey your central message and most important findings
* In addition, special attention will be paid to the overall layout and structure of your document

Testimonials
“Al sinds vele jaren heb ik zeer positieve ervaringen met de redactionele bewerking van mijn Engelse teksten voor publicatie in internationale tijdschriften. Het is verbazingwekkend hoe goed de redacteur JP zich inhoudelijk inleest in de context van het manuscript. Afspraken over tijdstippen van terugzending worden nauwkeurig nagekomen. Zeer tevreden over de samenwerking met ‘MedicalEditing.nl’ in de voorbereiding van manuscripten tot internationale publicaties.”
Professor (emeritus) Rob A.B. Oostendorp, Scientific Institute for Quality of Healthcare, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
“Excellent editing. High quality, reasonable pricing, and always on time. Highly recommended.”
Professor Joost Dekker, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Amsterdam UMC Location VUmc, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“I have been working with Medactie for many years now for many manuscripts and grant proposals at the Dutch cancer society amongst others and I am very satisfied with the service. Not only very relevant help in improving the readability of the text, but also a very strong substantive contribution. In addition, the speed and the price are very good.”
Dr. Maartje Nielsen, Department of Clinical Genetics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Your editor: Dr J-P Bayley
Following a bachelors in Biochemistry and a studentship at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, I carried out doctoral research in molecular immunology and genetics (Department of Rheumatology, Leiden University Medical Center). In 2002 I joined the lab of Prof. Peter Devilee (Human Genetics, LUMC) and have since focused on clinical genetics, SDHD tumor inheritance, as well as animal and cell models of paraganglioma. In 2005 I established the LOVD SDH Variant Databases for SDHA, B, C, D, SDHAF2 and FH, which presaged my current research focus on understanding genotype-phenotype correlations of SDH genes in paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma. I am currently running the 2025-6 phase of the International SDH Genotype-Phenotype collaboration.
