Clarification Editing
This is an extra round of editing after the first edit and before submission to a journal. Price: FREE!
We recommend ordering this service in the following situations:
- You received questions or a request for additional information from our editor via comments in the manuscript.
- You made changes to the text based on comments that the editor left in the manuscript.
- You are unsure about whether a change made in the first round reflects your intended meaning and you would like to ask a question/seek confirmation.
Please send us the following:
- The revised version of your manuscript. The file should contain tracked changes that you have made after you received your edited manuscript from us.
Review Editing
If you have revised your manuscript after submitting to a journal or after peer review, we can perform a Review Edit to make sure any new text you have added is submission-ready and consistent with the rest of your manuscript. Price: 50% of our regular editing fees!
If you are instructed by the editor of your target journal or peer reviewers to make further revisions, you can send the revised manuscript to us for a Review Edit.
Please send us the following:
- The revised version of your manuscript. The file should contain tracked changes that you have made after you received your edited manuscript from us.
-
Any communication you have received from the journal such as an email from the journal editor or comments from peer reviewers.
