Over a decade of experience helping optimisation researchers publish their work and acquire funding.
Connolly Editorial is run by Dr. Luke Connolly, who received his undergraduate in English Studies from Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) and his PhD in English Literature from KU Leuven (Belgium). While undertaking his own doctoral research, Luke worked in an internationally renown combinatorial optimisation research group where he helped numerous researchers publish and disseminate their research to maximum effect. He has assisted in the successful publication of over a hundred peer-reviewed papers, mentored dozens of Masters and PhD students through the writing of their theses, and helped secure millions of euro in funding for research projects.
We know what makes for successful research that will be understood, published, and widely cited. But Connolly Editorial is also fully comfortable with the disciplines of combinatorial optimisation and operations research. For researchers operating in these domains, we therefore offer insightful feedback that not only addresses language and structure, but also evaluates whether your work’s scientific substance is (i) being communicated unambiguously and (ii) will be appreciated by reviewers as well as the wider academic community.
Below are just some of the problem areas and methodological approaches we are fluent in.

Where we can help
Journal Papers
Over the years we have helped researchers publish their work in well over a hundred peer-reviewed publications in top international journals. We have extensive experience with all steps of the publication process: brainstorming, structuring, drafting, preparing for submission, and addressing reviewer comments.
Masters & PhD Theses
Preparing your thesis for submission represents the end of a very long academic journey. Although a stressful period, we can work with you to ensure it makes the impact it deserves. Furthermore, we can also help prepare you to respond to questions and deliver any presentation component of your defence.
Funding Proposals
We are comfortable working with individuals seeking a personal grant to conduct doctoral research all the way to consortia of research groups and industry partners seeking international funding. Assistance can be provided at every stage of the proposal preparation process: brainstorming, drafting, and final submission checks.
Writing & Presentation Guidance
We have extensive experience delivering academic writing seminars, workshops, and lectures. These can be given to large groups of undergraduate students or can be fine-tuned to meet the needs of just a few individuals. Contact us with your objectives and we can discuss an appropriate solution.
