In-depth medical editing for
researchers and academics

Welcome! My name is Zoltán Sárkány, I am a freelance medical editor. I help researchers and academics improve the clarity, coherence, and impact of their writing.

Services

Developmental editing

Scientific writing is a complex process that requires more than just subject knowledge. I provide structured, in-depth feedback to improve the logic, organization, and clarity of your text.

This includes evaluating the overall flow of the manuscript, restructuring sections where needed, identifying gaps in logic or inconsistent framing, and suggesting ways to present complex ideas more clearly.

I work collaboratively, often across multiple rounds, so your voice stays intact, while your message becomes more focused.

Language editing

I provide precise language editing by correcting grammar, punctuation, and syntax errors; enhancing clarity, flow, and coherence; improving structure, transitions, and readability; and ensuring consistency in style, formatting, and terminology.

This type of editing is best suited for texts that are already well organized and near submission-ready. The goal is to improve the overall quality of your manuscript and its chances of publication.

Writing guidance

If you are still developing your draft or unsure how to begin, I can help you shape your ideas into a clear, well-structured manuscript.

This includes early-stage planning (outlining or restructuring), feedback on partial drafts, and guidance on integrating reviewers’ comments. Think of it as developmental editing plus mentoring, tailored to your writing goals.

About me

I have a PhD in medicine and more than 15 years of experience in academic publishing.

I graduated from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Târgu Mureș in 2004 and developed a strong interest in scientific writing during my studies. After graduation, I joined the university’s medical journal, where I gained hands-on experience in editing and editorial processes.

Since 2015, I have edited for several journals, including titles in the ESCI and the Nature portfolio. I understand what editors and reviewers expect, and I support authors in meeting those expectations.

Get in touch

If you are working on a manuscript, thesis, or research proposal and want structured, thoughtful editing support, I would be happy to discuss how I can help.

Pricing depends on the service type, word count, and level of editing required. Developmental editing starts at €0.05/word, language editing at €0.025/word, and writing guidance at €400 for up to 3 rounds of feedback.
