SUCCESSFUL PUBLICATIONS:

Popular science book, 2019

Dr. Goran Jakšić: The Freshwater Fish of Aquatika, 2019


Publisher: Aquatika – Karlovac Freshwater Aquarium

“Above all a dedicated professional, Linda took on the task of translating my popular science book entitled Freshwater Fish of Aquatika, addressing the book as a whole, while delving into every little detail in order to find the perfect word, masterfully translating the scientific terminology, while retaining the lyrical component in the poem opening each chapter. Her broad experience in scientific translation made sure that the content is clear and understandable to readers, while her distinctive, female touch added a note of sophistication. With the beauty of the translation in mind, Linda both understood and improved the language and style, all within the set deadline and budget. The human brain has two sides: the logical, sharp and mathematical side, and the intuitive, gentle, poetic side. Linda has succeeded in fathoming and deciphering both.”

Evidence for Subtle Genetic Structure in the two sympatric species, Mullus barbatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Mullus surmuletus (Linnaeus, 1758) within the Mediterranean Sea

Nowadays, effective proofreading is highly important to the production of high-quality scientific papers. Linda’s great attention to detail in grammar, sentence structure, formatting, combined with her strong knowledge in the life science, make her perfect choice. She goes deep in the subject, very carefully and thoroughly, resulting in a great improvement of the paper. She returns work very quickly. Without hesitation I would recommend her excellent editing services.

The applicability of the Sludge Biotic Index in a facility treating sugar refinery effluents and municipal wastewater

When writing scientific papers, regardless of the effort we put in, we often have to face our own limitations in the use of English. Despite knowledge the language, terminology and grammar, mistakes are inevitably made, and sentences are inadequately structured. Linda Zanella, both a native English speaker and experienced editor, and a Master of Biology, is the ideal person for editing our scientific papers. Thanks to her broad education in the natural sciences and her fundamental understanding of the principles of writing scientific papers (she herself has authored several), her editing help to linguistically improve our papers and the writing style. I believe that oftentimes, this is what weighs the scales in favour of getting the paper accepted for publication.
