Cofactor offers advice and coaching to researchers to help you get your papers written and published.

Our advice stems from Anna Sharman’s long experience with scientific publishing together with expertise on particular subject areas from freelance editors and associate trainers.

This can be:

• face-to-face
• by email
• by phone or video call
• ongoing or one-off
• one-to-one or for a group

We can help in the following situations:

• Has your paper been rejected and you don’t know what to do next?
• Are you unsure which journal is best for your work?
• Would you like help in addressing reviewer comments?
• Would you like to discuss your group’s overall publishing strategy?
• Are you unsure which new developments in scientific publishing would be useful to you?
• Do you need help getting the motivation to draft and finish a paper?

We can also provide training for your research group or department to improve your researchers’ skills and knowledge in getting published.

And we can support a writing retreat or provide ongoing coaching to help you complete your manuscripts.
