Our expert editors have years of experience in research and scientific editing. With native English proficiency and postgraduate qualifications, they cover all subject areas to support your research.
Standard Editing
This includes corrections for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word usage errors. However, it does not enhance the style or flow of your manuscript. While manuscripts edited under Standard Editing are eligible for an editing certificate, it is not guaranteed due to the limited scope of editing.
Premium Editing
Our editors correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word usage errors, while also improving awkward or unnatural sentences. You'll receive an editing summary with examples and explanations of the changes made, helping you refine your writing. Manuscripts edited under Advanced Editing are guaranteed to earn an editing certificate due to the comprehensive nature of the service.
Premium Plus Editing
This option includes all the benefits of Standard Editing, plus additional support after peer review. Once you receive reviewer comments, our editors will edit your responses and crosscheck them with your revised manuscript, ensuring consistency and clarity.
The Lippincott Editing Certificate is a PDF that you can submit to the journal alongside your manuscript. It confirms that your manuscript was edited by a native English speaker and is ready for submission, provided all proposed changes have been incorporated. This certificate assures journal editors that the English language in your manuscript has been reviewed and verified.
Manuscripts edited through our comprehensive Premium, Premium Plus Editing and Scientific Editing services are guaranteed to receive a Lippincott Editing Certificate. Manuscripts edited under Standard Editing are eligible for the certificate, but it is not guaranteed.
While our English Language Editing service significantly improves the quality of your manuscript by addressing grammar, punctuation, style, and clarity, acceptance of your manuscript is not guaranteed. The decision to accept or reject a manuscript lies with the journal's editorial board, which evaluates factors such as scientific content, originality, and relevance to the journal. Our editing services help ensure that your manuscript is polished and free from language-related issues, increasing its chances of a successful submission, but we cannot guarantee acceptance.
Multiple-Round Editing (MRE) is an optional service that allows authors to request re-editing of their manuscript as many times as needed to ensure it's completely submission-ready. MRE support is included for one year with our Premium and Premium Plus Editing services (excluding cases where the manuscript has been heavily re-written or had new sections added). For Standard Editing, MRE support is available at a 60% discount for one year. Contact us to request MRE support.
