Our professional document editing service ensures that only an expert document editor works on your document. Our document editors are subject-matter experts with many years of experience in research and scientific editing. What’s more you can consult these experts even after the edit and utilize the Client Questions service to clarify any doubts that you might have. Authors can also choose an editor of their choice at a premium and subject to availability.

All our manuscript editors and writers go through the Basic Editor Training (BET) program that comprises 5 standard modules and various customized programs. Our medical writers receive specific training in ICH–GCP, CONSORT, and ICMJE guidelines. In addition, all our editors also receive intensive English language training. They attend external training programs and workshops that offer updates on grammar, punctuation, and style for American and British English.

We place a lot of emphasis on subject-area expertise. Our editorial team includes physicians, PhDs, MDs, postgraduates, engineers, and even journal peer reviewers. Over 60% of our manuscript editors come from a research background. Depending on their academic qualifications and professional experience, our editors work within one of 20 editing Centers of Excellence (CoEs). The editors within each CoE have a high level of technical competency in that specific field of study and an incisive understanding of the finer nuances of your subject, relevant writing conventions, terminology, etc. Learn more about the CoE model or review our editors’ profiles.

Yes, you can change the type of editing service if the editor has not yet begun editing your manuscript . If the editor has already begun editing your manuscript then you will not be able to change the type of service. Please contact your Client Manager if you would like to change the type of editing service.

If you would like to keep your document at the same word count as at the time of submission then please mention this in the online submission form.

Yes, we do format documents for journal submission. You can request formatting using the online submission form and insert the URL of the journal you are submitting your article to so that our editors can make sure that your submission fulfils all the journal’s formatting requirements.

When we receive editing requests for certain sections of a manuscript, we format only those sections. However, editing of only some sections of the document is not recommended when opting for formatting, as some aspects of formatting will necessarily include editing. Therefore, we recommend that the entire document be edited when opting for formatting so that we can ensure that all aspects of the document comply with submission requirements.

We do not accept software-translated documents for editing. We request you to have your document translated by a professional before sending it to us for editing.
