Welcome to ClearScience
EDITOR
Dr. Neysan Donnelly
I am a native English speaker with a PhD in cell biology and 15+ years of experience in providing editing and writing services to scientists and research journals across a range of disciplines.
My expertise extends to
- Rapid, high-quality English and general scientific editing of research and review articles
- Translation of scientific texts from German to English
- Writing press releases and other articles that summarise and synthesise research findings and scientific topics for both specialist and lay audiences.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need assistance with your writing project, be it a journal article, grant application, press release or other communication. I will ensure that your texts will read like they were written by a native speaker. The main message of your research will stand out clearly, and your science will shine through.
I have provided support to a portfolio of research journals, researchers and public relations officers including from several Max Planck Institutes and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, among many others. I would be delighted to hear from you.
Please send me an email at neysan@clearscience.org or call me at +49 176 84 535 123 to discuss your needs.
SERVICES
Press Releases
I write press releases based on research papers, scientific projects or events in clear and engaging English. I am sensible with regards to embargoed material and also work on short notice.
Grant Proposals
I assist with the writing of research grant proposals and scholarship/fellowship applications from the first steps to the final proofs depending on your needs.
Scientific Manuscripts
I offer assistance with writing and editing research articles. I can help you with phrasing and structuring of your manuscript before submission to a journal to ensure that your results are presented in the clearest possible way. All this will give your manuscript a better start in the reviewing process.
Language Proofs
Do you have your manuscript ready and just need a quick English check? I provide copy editing for all types of scientific documents. I proofread your manuscripts for spelling, grammar and consistency to ensure correct (British, American or European) English.
TESTIMONIALS
Neysan played a pivotal role in supporting our team as a scientific writer for the EBRAINS 2.0 project proposal, which was successfully granted by the European Commission, and the Science Vision Paper of the Human Brain Project, which was first published on Zenodo and later in Imaging Neuroscience. His exceptional editing and revising skills helped refine the content, ensuring clarity and coherence while maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the scientific information. Neysan’s ability to grasp complex scientific concepts, attention to detail, and his timely delivery were invaluable assets. His excellent writing skills and collaborative approach significantly contributed to the success of our scientific paper and project proposal.

I’ve worked with Neysan on multiple grant proposals and research papers, and his contributions always elevate the clarity and impact of my writing. Neysan has consistently introduced high-quality edits according to the agreed schedule. Moreover, he thinks a long with me and has a keen eye for detail.
