Editing services for scientific manuscripts can be categorized into several types:
Language Editing Focuses on correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure. It ensures that your manuscript reads smoothly and professionally.
Substantive or Developmental Editing This service goes beyond basic language corrections. Editors improve the overall structure, clarity, and coherence of the manuscript while ensuring logical flow and consistency in tone.
Scientific Editing Performed by editors with subject-matter expertise, scientific editing improves not only language but also the scientific content. This includes suggestions for refining your arguments, clarifying technical terms, and ensuring accurate use of data.
Formatting and Reference Checking Editors ensure that your manuscript follows the target journal’s formatting requirements, including reference styles like APA, MLA, Chicago, or specific journal formats.
