About us

 

Company Background

Stallard Scientific Editing is an online-based editing company that provides a quality English-editing service for researchers worldwide whose native language is not English.

We are based in Nelson, New Zealand, with most of our professional editors/researchers also being based in New Zealand.

Stallard Scientific Editing was established in 2006 by the husband-and-wife team of Dr. Aaron Stallard and Annabel Boyes. Having worked for many years in their respective professional fields of Earth Science and Medical Imaging, Aaron and Annabel then gained considerable experience as freelance scientific editors working for leading Japan- and Europe-based editing companies before deciding to establish their own editing company. With their in-depth knowledge of the research and editing environments, Aaron and Annabel are able to provide a first-class and timely editing service that provides a supportive, good-value, and responsive service to our clients.

Stallard Scientific Editing is the trading name of Stallard Scientific Limited, a Limited Liability Company registered with the New Zealand Companies Office.

Our Editors

Our native-English speaking editors are carefully selected and trained in-house to ensure a first-class editing service for our clients. Most of our editors are New Zealand scientists with postgraduate degrees and a strong background in research and/or industry who actively combine careers in editing and research; many are published authors and have experience as reviewers for international journals. Whatever your field of research, we make sure that your manuscript is edited by a specialist in your field with excellent writing and editing skills.

Director Profiles

Dr Aaron Stallard - Cofounder of Stallard Scientific Editing, Managing Editor, and Earth Science Editor

Aaron completed his M.Sc. (Hons) degree in Earth Science at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 1994, followed by a PhD (Earth Science) at James Cook University, Australia. Subsequent research posts included a 2-year JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship at Shizuoka University, Japan, and a 4-year FRST Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
Aaron has a strong university-level background in all fields of geology and geography and a specialized research background and publication record in tectonics and structural and metamorphic geology ( click here to see a list of Aaron's publications). In recent years, Aaron has used his extensive experience in research and writing/publishing to edit hundreds of manuscripts in all fields of Earth and environmental science, including solid-earth geology, seismology, remote sensing, ecology, meteorology, forestry, climate change, oceanography, and environmental modeling, to name a few.

   
Annabel Boyes - Cofounder of Stallard Scientific Editing and Medical Editor

Annabel has more than 15 years professional experience in medical imaging, including senior roles in CT and MRI, in hospitals in New Zealand, Australia, and England, and has presented work at a number of major conferences. Seeking a more flexible routine following the birth of her three children, Annabel made good use of her professional experience and writing skills by working as a freelance editor for leading Japan-based editing companies. Annabel is now a co-director of Stallard Scientific Editing and handles the editing of our medical manuscripts.
