Editing focuses on grammar, terminology consistency, and readability for multidisciplinary audiences.

• Grammar, spelling, and punctuation correction
• Consistency of terminology and abbreviations
• Clarity improvements for methods and results
• Formatting guidance for captions and references

Language editing improves presentation but does not replace peer review or methodological review.

• No changes to study design or data interpretation
• No ethical review or compliance validation
• No guarantee of acceptance or review outcome
• Authors remain responsible for scientific accuracy

Editing levels are tailored to manuscript needs and may include light language polishing or detailed clarity improvements.

• Basic language correction for grammar and punctuation
• Consistency edits for terminology and abbreviations
• Clarity improvements for methods and results descriptions

Consider editing if English is not your primary writing language or if multiple co authors contributed to the manuscript.

Contact the editorial office with your manuscript title, estimated word count, and the type of editing support requested.

Schedule editing before submission to allow time for author review and final checks.

• Submit request at least two weeks before submission
• Allow time for author review of edited text
• Plan for proofing of figures and tables
• Confirm final manuscript format before submission

Clear language improves peer review efficiency and helps readers focus on evidence.

Editing strengthens presentation of complex methods, monitoring protocols, and clinical outcomes.

• Does not replace peer review or guarantee acceptance
• Does not alter data or statistical conclusions
• Does not resolve ethics approvals or permissions
• Authors remain responsible for scientific accuracy

Authors should allow adequate time for editing before planned submission dates.

Provide the manuscript file, a short summary of objectives, and any specific language concerns.

Manuscripts submitted for editing are treated as confidential and are not shared outside the editing workflow.

Turnaround time depends on manuscript length and editing depth. The editorial office will confirm timing and provide a quote.

Editing fees are separate from APCs and apply only if the author elects the service.

Provide any preferred terminology lists, abbreviations, or style guides to ensure consistent language across sections.

Clear instructions help the editing team focus on the most important improvements.
