Journal Manuscript Editing

When you prepare a manuscript for a journal, clear and precise language helps reviewers and readers engage with your research. Editing refines the language and readability of your paper while keeping your findings and arguments intact.

What journal manuscript editing can include

The exact scope is agreed with you before work begins, based on your document and what matters most to you.

  • Language editing for clarity, precision and readability
  • Consistency of terminology, abbreviations and units
  • Attention to the journal’s author guidelines that you share with us
  • Grammar, spelling and punctuation corrections

Editing that respects academic integrity

We work on the text you have written. We do not write assessed work on your behalf, and we never alter your data, findings or conclusions.

If your institution or publisher has rules about editing support, please check them before you get in touch, and we will work within them. We cannot promise grades, acceptance or publication; those decisions rest with your institution or publisher.

How it works

A simple, considered process.

Three steps, with nothing assumed and the scope agreed before work begins.

  1. Step 1: Tell us about your document.

    Share what you are working on: the type of document, its approximate length, and any deadline you have in mind.

  2. Step 2: Discuss the editing support you need.

    We talk through the level of support that suits your document, any style guide you follow, and what matters most to you.

  3. Step 3: Receive the agreed service.

    Your document is edited according to the scope and timeline we have confirmed together before any work begins.
