Language Editing - author services

In response to the growing number of international authors requiring editing for their papers, our services include Language Editing or 'polishing'. Designed for researchers who are non native speakers of English and are writing in English as a second language, your paper will be checked for correct use of Standard English, including grammar, spelling, style, and readability. By polishing the language of your manuscript you can improve your chances of being accepted for publication in your chosen journal or book.

Our Language Polishing service conducts an expert review of your paper. Editors may also suggest changes to make the content more coherent and understandable and more accurate. For example:

• Title: Is your title appropriate for content?
• Structure: Does your paper correctly follow conventions of standard scientific formats?
• Spelling: Is your spelling standard, consistent, and correct for either US or British styles?
• Punctuation: Is your use of punctuation correct for US or British style?
• Grammar: Are your sentences grammatically correct and clear?
• Terminology: Is your use of technical terminology correct and consistent?
• Accuracy: Are all the facts you present consistent across text, tables and figures?
• Figures/Captions: Are your figures clear? Do the captions properly explain the content?
• References: Are all references present, complete and correctly formatted?

Our team of qualified editors has extensive knowledge of the difficulties that non-native speakers of English face when attempting to get their work published.

We can also tailor our editing to accommodate the particular style of your target journal.

We are also able to undertake editing of transcripts, presentations and speeches. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
