Rachel P.
Scientific & Evidence Editor | Health & Life Sciences
I’m a scientific editor with a PhD in Biological Psychology and 15 years’ experience across academic research and life sciences consultancy. I specialise in making complex scientific, health and research-based content accurate, clear, well structured and useful. My work often goes beyond line editing. I enjoy getting into complex content and information, tracing it back to source material, identifying inconsistencies and gaps, improving how information is structured, and developing consistent approaches that can be applied across content. I can support with: - Scientific and health editing - Content auditing and quality assurance - Evidence, claims and fact checking - Critical appraisal and literature reviews - Content and information structuring - Scientific writing and evidence synthesis - Reference, data and consistency checking - AI-assisted content review and editing My strength is work where quality depends on understanding the information behind the content, not simply correcting grammar and style. I’m particularly suited to projects involving complex source material, structured information, evidence checking and systematic editorial QA.
