Support for UTCVM Researchers

Science Editing

Faculty and staff at UTCVM have the option to have their grants or manuscripts edited in-house at no charge.  The college employs a full-time science editor, Emily Ford​, who will copyedit proposals, journal manuscripts, and other scholarly works for language, mechanics, and conformance to agency/journal guidelines, as well as edit substantially for logical flow, clarity, concision, and consistency.  She asks that you please allow one week for completion of all editing requests.

Literature Searches

Veterinary medicine librarian Jeanine Williamson is available to assist with literature searches and maintains a Research Support web page. She also assists with replace, reduce, refine searches for IACUC protocols.
