Would you like a scientific professional to translate your manuscript, presentation, poster, or any other document from French to English language or vice versa?

Clarendon Scientific is your number one solution. Dr. Kirkman has lived in France for several years and is able to provide a professional translation between French and English language documents to support your research career.
Do not trust or rely on online / AI translation tools; they are not reliable, and risk you communicating factually incorrect information or inadvertently adopting an unprofessional tone.
Take the stress and the risk out of translation of your documents.
Contact us (in French or English) to learn more.
Souhaitez-vous qu’un professionnel scientifique traduise votre manuscrit, présentation, affiche ou tout autre document du français vers l’anglais ou vice versa ?

Clarendon Scientific est votre solution numéro un. Le Dr. Kirkman vit en France depuis plusieurs années et assure une traduction professionnelle de vos documents français-anglais pour vous accompagner dans votre carrière de chercheur.
Ne vous fiez pas aux outils de traduction en ligne/IA ; ils ne sont pas fiables et risquent de vous amener à communiquer des informations factuellement incorrectes ou à adopter involontairement un ton non professionnel.
Éliminez le stress et les risques liés à la traduction de vos documents.
Contactez-nous (en français ou en anglais) pour en savoir plus.
Dr. Kirkman is an expert in scientific communication and has presented widely on the topic. Accordingly, he has developed a range of scientific communication courses to meet the needs of individual researchers as well as clinical and scientific departments and organisations.

There are three course levels available–beginner, intermediate, and advanced–and completion of each results in the award of a certificate.
Furthermore, as Clarendon Scientific is an agile organisation, the courses can be modified to meet your personal, department, or organisation’s needs.

Do you need support with the analysis of data you have collected as part of your research? Perhaps you have not yet collected any data yet, and you seek guidance on study design, data collection techniques, statistical power calculations, and outcome variable(s) definition / measurement? Alternatively, have you already analysed your data and you are looking for the data to be transformed into professional-looking images (including graphs) and / or tables?

Look no further than Clarendon Scientific. Dr. Kirkman has extensive experience of clinical and scientific data analysis and can help with all of the above.
This service is a good accompaniment to the manuscript writing and presentation / poster services.

Are you unsure of which journal to submit your manuscript to, and would like a professional, objective opinion? Look no further than Clarendon Scientific’s journal choice support service.

Based on Dr. Kirkman’s extensive experience as a journal Editorial Board member and peer reviewer, one of the commonest reasons for manuscript rejection is a poor alignment between a manuscript’s research topic and a journal’s scope. Poor decision-making regarding journal choices risks multiple rejections, delaying time to manuscript publication and wasting your precious time in the process. In a world where career progression can be defined and determined by publication of your research, Clarendon Scientific can help you get ahead.
Clarendon Scientific can provide you with an objective and honest analysis of your research in a formal written report. This will allow you to submit your manuscript to a well-aligned journal, saving time, rejections, and potentially your career.
The report will provide an indication of a number of journals that would be appropriate choices for submission of your manuscript, along with key changes required to your manuscript in order to maximise the chance of successful submission to each of the journals.
For the very best outcome, combine the Clarendon Scientific journal choice support service with our manuscript editing and / or medical writing services to ensure that your manuscript is enhanced, meets all the submission requirements, and is ready to submit to the journal.
Contact us to find out more.
Do you wish to obtain confidential advice about how to raise your personal and / or your department / organisation’s research profile? How to use social media to your advantage?

In addition to his vast experience as an academic researcher and clinician, Dr. Kirkman worked at the management consultancy McKinsey and Company, where he provided tailored, strategic advice to some of the world’s largest organisations.

Have you already submitted your manuscript to a journal and received feedback? Would you like help with addressing the issues raised by the journal’s Editor and / or peer reviewers?

Clarendon Scientific can help you with this. Even if your manuscript was formally rejected from the journal, we can help you address the comments raised and prepare your manuscript for submission again.
Need help with writing the response to the reviewers’ comments to accompany your resubmission? No problem, Clarendon Scientific can do that too.
