• We asked Mary Nishikawa to write a clinical trial report. We were relieved to receive the timeline before the writing. The process ran smoothly as she promptly responded to inquiries, and the project was completed on time. In addition, we received advice on tips for writing a paper, which was a great learning experience.  — Anonymous (Pharmaceutical manufacturer)

• Mary Nishikawa’s high-level English editing of our paper RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RdRP, a promising therapeutic target for cancer and potentially COVID-19 (https://doi.org/10.1111/cas.14618) was possible because she had sufficient knowledge of molecular biology and biochemistry and understood the contents of our paper. Understanding the logic of the research, she was able to propose the best title. Also, we were able to receive appropriate advice on responding to the peer reviewer comments, after she fully understood the points we would like to make as authors. She was requested to edit, but in the end, I feel that Mary Nishikawa was involved as a reliable “co-author.”     — Kenkichi Masutomi, M.D., Ph.D., Division of Cancer Stem Cell Chief, National Cancer Center Research Institute, Japan
