Testimonials
Rebecca Bengtsson Lundin, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Culture and Media Studies
I’ve had the pleasure of working with David since 2013, with proofreading and copyediting of academic text as well as various reports and promotional materials. Working with David is always a stress-free experience and his feedback is always speedy, reliable and to the point, even with short deadlines. When I was writing up my PhD thesis, I had no hesitations about asking for David’s assistance once more. In addition to his meticulous and swift proofreading I also appreciated his thoughtful suggestions, which improved the academic accuracy of my thesis, and his calm and engaged approach to our collaboration helped reduce the stress involved in the end of my PhD journey. Needless to say, I’m strongly recommending David to anyone in need of excellent proofreading or copy-editing to ensure their texts are of the highest standard.
Markus Broström, Professor of Applied Physics and Electronics
We have worked with David as proofreader on numerous projects, and his attention to detail is consistently outstanding. He has a sharp eye for grammar and clarity, which has greatly improved the final quality of our publications. Turnaround times are always prompt, and communication is clear and professional. I especially appreciate the thoughtful suggestions that go beyond basic corrections. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality proofreading.
Klas Göran Sahlen, Former Chair of the Council of Public Health and Deputy Chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health at Umeå University
I have used David as a language reviewer for several of my doctoral students. Regardless of the origin of the student, the language review that David has done has resulted in publications in various scientific journals. He interprets and provides alternative suggestions that make it easy for the student to understand the linguistic deficiency. In addition, he always keeps the agreed time. I am very satisfied.
Kristina Stefansson, Assistant Professor and Specialist Doctor in Clinical Chemistry
I had the pleasure of working with David on my most recent manuscript. He provided great assistance, both with grammar and spelling, as well as valuable tips on how to rewrite certain parts for clarity. He even offered consultation on reviewers’ comments, which was more than I expected. I found him service-minded, great to communicate with, and punctual. I would absolutely recommend David to anyone in need of proofreading services.
Elia Astanterabi Swai, PhD student in Epidemiology and Global Health
I had to move on from more than two proofreading companies, as my expectations were never fully met, and this was before meeting David. As an early-career public health scientist, I have been always satisfied with and greatly benefited from the proofreading services provided by David Boothroyd. This is because English is my third language after Chagga (a native language from Tanzania) and Swahili. However, I initially struggled with scientific writing when preparing my manuscripts. David’s support has not only improved the readability of my work but enhanced my academic writing skills. His service is interactive, professionally delivered, and always timely, offering language support that has been both empowering and enriching.
Stella Macheridis, Researcher in Historical Osteology
It was a joy to work with David: he communicates well and is flexible when it comes to setting the timeframe. He works fast and gives great feedback on the text as a whole, not just on the grammar.
Linda Wallin, PhD student in Clinical Sciences
I have been very pleased with David’s language editing services. His thoroughness and expertise have ensured that my work is always well-polished. Reviewers have never commented on the language in my submissions, which speaks to the quality of his work. I highly recommend David for professional language editing.
Jenny Bergström, Associate Professor in Language Studies
I first came into contact with David’s proofreading services during my time as a doctoral student. I needed a proofreader for my first article, and his company was listed by my university as an approved proofreader. My experience with David’s work has been entirely positive. The service has been quick, smooth, and knowledgeable. We have had a well-functioning dialogue about the text, and the corrections made were of very high quality. After that first article, I have collaborated with David on several articles, and he also proofread my dissertation. David’s thoroughness, expertise, and dialogue-based approach have made me return to him several times for proofreading. I have also recommended him to several colleagues, all of whom have been satisfied with his services. I can therefore warmly recommend him as a proofreader.
Stina Kallerhult-Hermansson, PhD student and lecturer in Nursing
I worked with David on a manuscript for a scientific paper, and his support was invaluable. His meticulous proofreading, insightful suggestions, and deep understanding of academic writing helped elevate the quality of the paper significantly. Thanks in part to his expertise, the manuscript was accepted and published in a respected nursing research journal. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking professional, reliable, and high-quality proofreading for academic work.
Johanna Sandén, PhD student in Nursing
I truly appreciated David’s thorough and precise proofreading of my academic manuscript. His attention to detail, clarity, and consistency significantly improved the quality of my text. He caught errors that I completely overlooked. Working with him was both helpful and easy. I highly recommend his services!
Lina Ärlebrant, PhD student in Epidemiology and Global Health
For me, the collaboration with David has truly been a positive experience because the communication has been clear, and I have always received prompt responses to my questions. The language review David conducted on my texts has not only covered the linguistic aspects but the content, which made me feel confident as a researcher that David truly understood my research and the message I wanted to convey. This is very important to me since English is not my first language, and I want to be confident that we have not misunderstood each other. The comments David provided made me reflect on my text and improve it, also in terms of clarity and content. I am very satisfied with the work he has done and would recommend him to others!
Anton Glans, PhD student in Radiography
I came into contact with David during my PhD studies, and it was a gift sent from heaven. David proofread two article manuscripts as well as my whole thesis; always on time, always meticulous and with great respect for my research field (and my field of MRI physics is pretty fringe). Whenever I had a question or wanted to discuss something, David always replied promptly, informed yet modest, and with an open mind to suggestions. That process really suited my needs, and greatly increased the quality of my manuscripts. 5/5, I cannot recommend him enough!
Yeo-Ae Yoon, PhD student in Language Teaching and Learning and Educational Work
Deep appreciation to David for his thorough and detailed proofreading. As an early career researcher, his professional, specific and complete feedback was of enormous help to me. I recommend David for those who feel unfamiliar or lost in writing. More than satisfactory!
