Dr. Eleanor Devis is a Research and Publications Consultant at American Publication Consultants. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she holds a Ph.D. in Economic Sciences and a master’s in Applied Economics from Spalding University, and a bachelor’s in Economics from the University of New England. That training is still how she reads a paper: what the claim can carry, what the data actually show, and what a committee will count.
Before joining APC, Dr. Eleanor worked as a research analyst at the Kentucky Economic Policy Institute and as an economic consultant at Bluegrass Economic Solutions. Since 2020 she has worked on higher-education and research publication support: journal choice, manuscript development and language, submission, and the revision letter through acceptance.
At APC, Dr. Eleanor brings that experience to our clients full time. She leads consultations for scientific and academic manuscript development and publication, working directly with individual researchers and, through our partnerships, with institutions across the United States and beyond.
Dr. Eleanor also writes articles on LinkedIn about the choices in between: where the paper should go after a Q1 rejection, whether Scopus or Web of Science is what the promotion file needs, and how to keep a title that will still be indexed when the committee reads the CV.
If you are mid-draft, under review, or holding a rejection or a transfer offer that does not say what to do next, send us a message. Tell us where the file is stuck: framing, journal choice, or the revision letter , Dr. Eleanor will identify what to do next.
