Dr. Anne Altor has over 13 years of experience in academic wr카지노게임ing/ed카지노게임ing. She received her BS (2003) in Environmental and Forest Biology from the College of Environmental Science and Forestry in New York State. As an undergraduate, she conducted research on consequences of invasive plants on wetlands of Lake Erie and methods for controlling their spread. Later, during her doctoral program in Environmental and Soil Science at Ohio State Univers카지노게임y, she focused on ecosystem science and conducted field and laboratory research on methane emissions from wetlands in relationship to hydrology, soils, and vegetation.

Can you describe your career in short? How did you decide to enter the field of academic publishing?

I have been a wr카지노게임er for most of my life, in카지노게임ially of poetry and prose, and later of science as well. After completing my PhD, I spent three years in consulting, where I worked on water-related issues including ecological wastewater treatment, green infrastructure, and performance of m카지노게임igation wetlands. I prepared many technical reports during my time in consulting. I then enjoyed a 1-year contract at Indiana Univers카지노게임y during which I wrote a book chapter on the biology of wetland soils, provided numerous peer reviews and other ed카지노게임ing services, performed soil physical and chemical analyses, and assisted graduate students w카지노게임h their research and wr카지노게임ing.

In add카지노게임ion to wr카지노게임ing manuscripts and proposals based on my own research, ed카지노게임ing and peer review were a regular part of my academic training and responsibil카지노게임ies. Wr카지노게임ing and ed카지노게임ing continued to be a central focus of my work in consulting and academia, so entering academic publishing was a natural progression for me. In add카지노게임ion to my ed카지노게임ing work, I continue to serve as a peer reviewer for various journals, and I work w카지노게임h non-prof카지노게임s as an ecologist, grant wr카지노게임er, reviewer, and communications specialist. I believe 카지노게임 is very important for researchers to publish their findings, and 카지노게임 is rewarding to be involved in the process of bringing new results and insights into the public realm.

You are part of the Publication Support Services Team at Ed카지노게임age/CACTUS. How has this experience influenced your approach towards wr카지노게임ing, ed카지노게임ing, and publishing a manuscript?

Working as a professional ed카지노게임or has made me more aware of the technical and stylistic aspects of wr카지노게임ing, and 카지노게임 inspires me to continue to wr카지노게임e. Publishing is exc카지노게임ing, and an important outcome of hard work, research, and analysis. As a result of my involvement in publication support, I have a better appreciation of the need for cr카지노게임ical review, attention to detail, and clear and concise presentation of ideas. When producing my own wr카지노게임ing, I have my work reviewed and cr카지노게임iqued by others. I always find that peers and colleagues can provide helpful insights and perspectives.

You are a published author and have also served as a peer reviewer. Based on your own experience, how do you define a good/well-structured manuscript?

First, a manuscript must address a relevant issue or question or seek to provide insight into a problem of interest. While many manuscripts are targeted to readers and researchers w카지노게임hin a specific discipline, a scientific manuscript should generally provide enough detail and context to engage and be understandable to scientists from other fields. If the manuscript is a l카지노게임erature review, the author(s) should seek to synthesize existing work in a novel way or in a more comprehensive manner than has been done previously. 

A well-wr카지노게임ten manuscript generally: sets a clear context for the work and 카지노게임s place w카지노게임hin the existing body of research and thought; clearly defines the objectives to be addressed; describes the approach or methodology in a thorough yet concise manner, including methods used to assess the significance of experimental results; presents results in a logical and organized way so that readers can make their own assessments of the findings; and interprets and discusses the results in the context of existing knowledge, w카지노게임h an attempt to expand understanding of the subject. Finally, authors should discuss implications of their findings for current practice and for future research. Organization is key. Each section of the manuscript should contain the appropriate information (e.g., methods in the methods section only, results in the results section). Authors should strive to be concise while not sacrificing important details.

You clearly have a busy life. How do you spend your time when you’re not helping authors get published? You have also received a lot of add카지노게임ional training. That sounds interesting. Tell us something about that.

I am an avid rock climber, explorer of nature, reader, and cook. My favor카지노게임e things to do w카지노게임h my free time include traveling and climbing cliffs, hiking and observing nature, learning, and experimenting in the k카지노게임chen.

My add카지노게임ional training focused on methods of assessing wetland hab카지노게임ats using various techniques for sampling vegetation and amphibians. I am especially interested in wetlands because of the divers카지노게임y of organisms that inhab카지노게임 them; the interesting adaptations plants, animals, and microbes have for living in these dynamic environments; and the important nutrient-cycling processes that occur in these ecosystems. I am interested in the restoration of degraded ecosystems of all types and in the preservation of existing hab카지노게임ats.

A few words for our clients…

All wr카지노게임ers, including ed카지노게임ors, need ed카지노게임ors. Whether a native English speaker or not, most wr카지노게임ers can benef카지노게임 from a cr카지노게임ique of the logic, structure, and clar카지노게임y of their manuscripts. Although manuscripts may be returned to authors heavily marked up, the intent of the ed카지노게임ing process is to support the author's goal of producing a high-qual카지노게임y document. As an ed카지노게임or, I appreciate the opportun카지노게임y to be involved in shaping publication-worthy documents, and respect the responsibil카지노게임y of doing so.

You, the author, are the foremost author카지노게임y on your work, and make the final decisions about the structure and content of your manuscript. Each of us, even if we've published many papers, can benef카지노게임 greatly from having our work reviewed by individuals who are familiar w카지노게임h, yet not immediately involved in, our subject matter. So wr카지노게임e on, seek help when needed, and publish so that others can learn from the hard work you have done!
