I'm Dr. Ermias Cheru, a licensed medical doctor with extensive, hands-on, trusted experience in medical research, literature review, systematic review, and meta-analysis. Over the years, I have supported researchers, academic teams, hospitals, healthcare organizations, NGOs, pharmaceutical consultants, and publishers in turning raw clinical questions into rigorous, evidence-based, publication-ready research outputs. My clinical background as a practicing physician means I don't just process data — I understand the underlying medicine, pathophysiology, and clinical relevance behind every study I review, screen, or synthesize.
I specialize in producing high-quality, methodologically sound systematic reviews and meta-analyses that meet the standards required by peer-reviewed journals, academic institutions, and evidence-based guideline committees. Whether you need a full systematic review from protocol to publication, a focused literature review, or statistical support for an existing dataset, I can deliver accurate, well-documented, and properly cited work on time.
WHAT I OFFER:
Comprehensive, reproducible literature searches across PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar
PRISMA-compliant systematic review design, execution, and reporting
Full meta-analysis workflows, including effect size calculation, heterogeneity testing, forest plots, and funnel plots
Study screening and selection using Covidence, Rayyan, and EndNote
Risk-of-bias and quality appraisal using Cochrane RoB 2, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, AMSTAR, and GRADE frameworks
Statistical meta-analysis execution in RevMan, R (metafor and meta packages), and STATA
Manuscript writing, structuring, and formatting for journal submission (IMRaD format)
Citation and reference management with EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, and Paperpile
Narrative reviews, scoping reviews, rapid reviews, and umbrella reviews
Critical appraisal of clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and observational data
Research protocol writing and PROSPERO registration support
Health policy research, clinical guideline review, and evidence summaries
Data extraction, tabulation, and synthesis from large or complex datasets
Academic proofreading, editing, and plagiarism checking for medical manuscripts
Question bank development, USMLE-style item writing, and medical education content review
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME:
As a practicing medical doctor, I bring genuine clinical context and domain expertise that goes far beyond generic freelance research support. I understand the science, the statistics, and the real-world clinical implications behind the numbers. I'm detail-oriented, methodical, and deadline-driven, with strong written English and the communication skills needed to collaborate smoothly with co-authors, biostatisticians, supervisors, and journal editors across time zones. I take search strategy, transparency, and reproducibility seriously, and I document every step so my work can withstand peer review and academic scrutiny.
I'm comfortable working independently on end-to-end projects or joining an existing research team to handle a specific stage of the workflow, whether that's screening, data extraction, statistical analysis, or final manuscript polishing. I respond quickly to messages, communicate clearly about timelines, and welcome detailed feedback throughout a project to make sure the final deliverable matches your exact expectations.
IDEAL PROJECTS:
Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, literature reviews, evidence synthesis projects, clinical research writing, manuscript preparation and submission support, research protocol development, medical and scientific writing, health policy and public health research, academic editing and proofreading in medicine and life sciences, biostatistics collaboration, and medical education content including USMLE-style question banks.
Let's discuss your project in detail. I'm ready to help you move from research question to publication-ready evidence with accuracy, transparency, and clinical insight you can fully trust and rely on.
KEYWORDS: medical doctor, systematic review, meta-analysis, literature review, evidence-based medicine, PRISMA, PubMed research, medical writer, clinical research, scoping review, GRADE assessment, Covidence, Rayyan, RevMan, R meta-analysis, STATA, biostatistics support, academic writing, peer review, manuscript preparation, health research, EBM, medical literature search, research methodology, clinical evidence synthesis, PROSPERO protocol, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, forest plot, health policy research, medical editing, USMLE question writer, medical education content, public health researcher, clinical data analyst, observational study review, cohort study analysis, randomized controlled trial review, clinical trial conduct study.
