Editing
We collaborate closely with you to ensure that your ideas and story are communicated clearly and accurately within the constraints of instructions for authors, grant templates, et cetera.
Editing is far more than just correct spelling and grammar.
We act as your critical ‘third eye’. Does your idea or story remain crystal clear throughout your scientific paper, grant application or presentation?
Or do you get bogged down in details or lose your way due to the constraints of the template you are working in? Is the language you use as simple and concise as possible or are you tempted to use ‘academic fog’ and impressive words in a bid to demonstrate your prowess?
How consistent are you in your use of terms and the presentation of statistics? Do you let information in tables and figures speak for itself or do you repeat it in detail in your running text? And what about the references section in your scientific paper?
Have you checked that it meets the requirements of the journal you are submitting it to or have you blindly trusted a program like Endnote or Zotero to do this for you? And in your grant application are you sure you have not exceeded the maximum number of words allowed per section?
Our editing helps you through the peer review process.
We ensure that:
- Your paper is properly structured;
- The purpose and added value of your research are clear;
- Your paper is written lucidly in grammatically correct English;
- Your paper complies with the instructions for authors of the journal it will be submitted to.
We provide English editing services for documents in the humanities, life sciences, medicine, natural sciences and engineering.
