Q: Professional Review for scientific papers before publication

bonanzaI'm looking for some professional, well-known company which offers to review ( from language point of view ) scientific papers before they are being published e.g. in a journal. Are there other companies besides AJE ( American Journal Experts, https://www.aje.com/en ) which offer such a service?

Feel like writing today?
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
kinda, but also very tired. I started writing a description of an alien race on Sunday, but then I went out
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
How's your elbow? Keeping you up?
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
it's doing OK, thanks :)

I thought today might be a good day for me to finish something.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
it was waking me up, but I took the sling off to sleep last night and I slept easier

But then I'm under a lot of pressure at work, so maybe I should do work, even though I'm off today.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
@KitZ.Fox yeah! you should do that. I will try to finish the thing I started yesterday
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
@MattE.Эллен The sling was causing the problem then?
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
but I will do it later, when I'm back home
@KitZ.Fox maybe.
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Come on. I thought you quit that thing?
;)
 
Matt E. Эллен

OK so I'll work a little, until you get home. Then I will write with you.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
That's a lot of work ;) I won't get home for three and a half hours

It's OK. I have to pull together this document for Wednesday. It's a whole thing.
I usually like my job, but recently it's been hell.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
yeah. it's sounded that way
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Agh. I let me teapot get mouldy, and now my tea tastes a little funny.
I can't tell if I oversteeped it or what.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
noooo!

In my review, my manager encouraged me to not respond with drama and angst, and I'm trying very hard to find a way to let things go.
And just do my job.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
ah
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
She was clear that she felt he was a problem, but she's trying to help me figure out how to manage it.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
that's good
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Yes, except she's on vacation.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
hmmm

I just need to get through this approvals meeting, and I think it will be fine.
There was a whole thing on Friday.
I'm debating going to the big boss and talking to him directly so he understands why I get worked up over this stuff. Mostly it is because I have no idea how he feels about the situation and my work.
Really I should just drop it and assuming I'm doing a sufficient job.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
I wouldn't take it to the big boss. that would make your boss feel bad.
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Well, I mean, because she's not here. Not because she's not helping.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
yes, but when's she back?
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
She won't be back for a couple of weeks.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
because you are in effect going over her head.
hmm
 
Kit Z. Fox

Chain of command stuff is so dumb. <sulks>
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
I don't know what I'd do
CC your boss and his boss in some of the communication, so that they know what he should know
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Yeah, it's just that he doesn't respond in a way that lets me know he's on my side.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
who?
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
That doesn't sound right. I mean, he doesn't often respond one way or the other. The big boss.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
is the annoying dev's boss the big boss?
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
3:24 PM
The big boss is the dev's boss still, but it's all weird now.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
I see
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
The big boss was the dev's boss when the dev was a manager. Then the dev became a dev, and all his supervisees are now supervised by the big boss, in effect making him a manager as well.
So it complicates everything.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
I guess you'll have to ride it out until your boss is back. the dev's a whiny baby and your boss knows it, so don't worry
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
I don't want to disappoint her.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
you won't

And how am I supposed to know if they uploaded a more recent version of the design spec? kicks over table There should be just one, the most recent one, where I can find it.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
that would be the sensible way, yes
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Wow. I need to go back to bed. I really thought this would be a good opportunity to sneak some useful work in.
 
Matt E. Эллен
Matt E. Эллен
you feeling under the weather, still?
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Yes. I think I have an ear infection. I took lots of drugs to try to drain the fluid out of my ear. Now I'm feeling nauseous.
Again.
 
Matt E. Эллен

I'll probably feel better after napping and eating.
 
Matt E. Эллен
