Services
Defined work,
defined outcomes.
Every engagement is quoted against a written scope. Nothing is billed that was not agreed, and nothing is edited that the author did not ask us to touch.
Editing
Language, structure and apparatus
Academic language editing and proofreading
Grammar, syntax, register and terminological consistency across the full manuscript, with author queries flagged rather than silently resolved.
Structural and technical editing
Chapter logic and signposting, table of contents, table of tables, table of figures, page numbering, and table and figure sources.
Reference, citation and formatting verification
In-text citations reconciled against the reference list, style applied consistently, and formatting matched to faculty templates.
Improvement of already written manuscripts
Substantive editing of drafts that are complete but not yet persuasive — tightening argument, evidence and transitions.
Econometrics
Specification, diagnostics, replication
Econometric consultation and model specification
Advice on estimator choice, identification, stationarity, cointegration, panel structure and robustness strategy.
Code, diagnostic and results verification
Independent review of estimation code and output, including diagnostic tests and the correspondence between tables and text.
Reproducibility and data-quality audits
A structured check that your results can be regenerated from your data and code by a third party.
Research-methodology and econometrics workshops
Training for cohorts, departments and supervisors — delivered in person in Windhoek or online.
Publication
From chapter to accepted article
Author-led conversion of theses into journal manuscripts
Restructuring a chapter into an article the author owns: framing, contribution statement, length and section balance.
Journal identification and submission compliance
Shortlisting credible outlets by scope and indexing, then checking the manuscript against each journal's requirements.
Editing responses to journal reviewers
A measured, point-by-point response letter that answers criticism without conceding the contribution.
