University of St Andrews Friday Seminar
scientific editing: Behind the scenes of Research communication
- Bonus Material!

Thank you for coming to the seminar on Scientific Editing on Friday. This page lists all the resources I mentioned in the session, and many more. Please note that these lists do not attempt to be exhaustive - they are just starting points to guide you in your own searches. That said, if you think of anything else you'd like me to add, please ask and I'll get right on it.  -Julia

Katharine is a biomedical editor; Louise is not but most of the information on her site can be applied to all aspects of running an editing business.)
