Abstract
Publishing a paper in a reputable international journal has become increasingly difficult over the last few decades. Many authors have resorted to editing and proofreading services to improve their paper, often at the request of journal editors that want to ease the burden on their in-house editors and reviewers. But traditional editing services don't always work. There is no guarantee that an academic paper written in perfect English will be peer-reviewed or published. Just ask any academic that is also a native English speaker. Their papers also get rejected! Academics or early-career researchers don't receive the training required to write well-structured and engaging scholarly papers or they don't have the experience to navigate through the complex world of scholarly publishing. How can we help? We developed unique author support services to help academics throughout the process of publishing a research paper in a peer-reviewed journal, from selecting the journal and writing the cover letter, to submitting the paper and responding to the reviewers. Our manuscript health check service provides a critical analysis of a manuscript. Proofreading and editing just comes as a bonus. We think this is a much better alternative to traditional article copyediting and proofreading services. Some of our other unique services include our virtual editorial office and our manuscript concierge service, supporting authors throughout the entire publishing process.
