Be proud of your submission

If you want your research findings to be accepted for publication, your ideas will need to be conveyed in clear, concise and well-structured English. Our academic editing service will help make sure you’re noticed for your research rather than your mistakes.

Our professional copyeditors take a deep dive into your document, ensuring it reads naturally and that your ideas are conveyed logically and clearly throughout. We’re experienced at editing non-native English and can help you avoid the common (and less common) pitfalls. Once we’re done, we’ll take the time to work through any queries together until you’re thrilled with the final draft.

The bulk of our academic copyediting involves preparing journal papers for submission or at the review and resubmit stage. We’ve worked on hundreds of different research topics and love nothing more than seeing our clients feature in top-ranking journals worldwide. We also frequently work on theses, dissertations and book manuscripts.
