What background and specializations do your editors have?
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 a detailed understanding of
your subject, relevant writing conventions, and terminology.
Who edits my document?
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 scholarly 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.
What training do your editors and writers receive?
All our manuscript editors and writers go through the Basic Editor Training (BET) program
that has five 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.
What is the difference between Advanced Editing, Premium Editing and Premium Editing PLUS services?
These three services review the various areas of your document in different levels of detail
— quality of language, general formatting, content and consistency in language style.
Advanced Editing services are for documents that might have errors in grammar, spelling and
punctuation, language accuracy, consistency in style and terminology. Premium Editing
services are for the documents that need review of the presentation style, consistency and
terminology, logic and clarity, detailed language and grammar check. Premium Editing PLUS
includes all features of Premium Editing and it also helps in strengthening your responses
to journal reviewers' comments with the help of a subject matter expert, and you will get
all queries addressed and your manuscript revised until it is ready for publication.
