Abstract [What we do]
We help scientists publish their research papers in peer-reviewed journals by providing unique manuscript editing services. Unlike traditional paper editing and proofreading services, which are excellent for fixing grammatical errors and improving the readability of manuscripts once they have been written, our support is available before, during, and after your manuscript has been written. We provide ongoing support throughout the publication process in the form of collaborative editing, critical analysis of your manuscript, and complete scientific manuscript concierge support services to take the hassle out of publishing a paper. Please visit the about page for more information about our manuscript editing experience and our heart-centred business values.
Introduction [Why we do it]
Has your paper been rejected?
In this academic world of publish or perish, scientific editing and proofreading services don’t cut it anymore. A scientific paper with perfect English does not guarantee that your manuscript will be peer-reviewed or published. Just ask any academic that is also a native English speaker. Their papers also get rejected! One of the problems is that as scientists, we don’t receive the training required to write a good scientific paper, let alone navigate through the colossal world of scientific publishing.
At the same time, the number of papers and the workload of editors and peer-reviewers is at an all-time high. To get your manuscript to the peer-review stage, traditional editing and proofreading services just don’t cut it anymore. Yes, your paper might be easier to read. But is perfect English enough? Editors screen papers and reject them if they don’t meet technical requirements and scope of the journal or if they can’t see the novelty of your work. This wastes everyone’s time. Precious time that can be directed towards more research. Our goals is to help scientists publish their research by providing an editing service that bridges the gap between what scientists do and what editors want.
How can we help?
Try our manuscript health check instead of a traditional article editing and proofreading service.
Do you need more time for research?
Publishing a manuscript in a scientific journal takes a long time. If you are a non-native English speaker, it will take you two times longer than a native English speaker to prepare a paper for publication (200 hours vs. 100 hours)[Citation coming as soon as I find it again!]. And 100 hours is nothing to scoff at! Imagine what you can do with an extra 100-200 hours in the lab or with your collaborators instead of wasting your time to make sure that the references are in the correct format, your hyphens and en-dashes are used correctly, or your abstract is not two words over the word limit.

Methods [How we do it]
Our services are divided into four main categories. You can choose from individual services or from one of our all-inclusive concierge services. If you don’t see a service that is right for you, get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
Document Health Check
The health check is our core service that we recommend for all our clients. Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your manuscript, cover letter, reviewer response letter, grant application, poster presentation, or any other scientific document. An experienced editor with publishing and peer-review experience will analyse your document and diagnose any issues that might prevent the acceptance of your manuscript by your target journal (“Target Journal” is important here! If you don’t know your target journal you should not be ordering any editing services). We provide you with detailed feedback to help you improve your document and get it through to the peer-review stage.
Manuscript Concierge Services
The concierge service is an all-inclusive service that is designed to reduce the hassle of publishing your paper. It includes all of our document health check services at a discounted price and optional additional services that will save you time. This is the best option if you need full publishing support until your manuscript is accepted and published, regardless of the number of revisions or times it is submitted to a journal.
Paper Editing Services
We only recommend our traditional proofreading service if an editor or a reviewer has requested it. Editing and proofreading services only fix the symptoms, i.e., bad grammar or bad spelling. These traditional author services rarely fix the real issues and don’t address the real reasons that your manuscript will be rejected. That is why publishers don’t guarantee the acceptance or publication of your manuscript even if you order their in-house editing services.
Marketing Services
Don’t stop once your paper is published. Let everyone know about it. Promoting your accepted paper or discussing it on social media will open up new opportunities for collaboration and increase citations. And that leads to more papers, a better publication record, more job opportunities and more success, for you and for us! We will share your article on our webpage and social media channels to increase exposure to your research. This service is included for free with any order.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Thank you very much for the thorough revision - I am really impressed! I’ve had edits done a few times before, but none was nearly as thorough as yours. I will definitely send all my papers to you in the future!
