Publishing in a high impact factor journal is important for your career and helps you secure more funding for your research, or establish the effectiveness of your treatment. A manuscript may be well written and the science may be technically rigorous, but selection of the wrong journal will end in rejection. Edanz Writing will identify several journals with impact factors appropriate for your research findings, and which will be likely to accept your manuscript for publication. As part of our language and journal service package we improve the language of your paper. This includes polishing the language of your manuscript and correcting any grammatical mistakes. We also format your manuscript in accordance with the journal style and Guide for Authors. What we do increases your chances of acceptance for publication.

The amount of time required to prepare a manuscript for submission will be different for each manuscript. It will depend on its current condition and the target journal. View the Service Examples and Estimates page to see estimates for different service packages. In our service quotation, we will provide you with an estimated timeline and cost. To receive a service quotation please email your manuscript to info@edanzwriting.com; be sure to tell us which services you require, along with the target journal if you have chosen one. If you have a project that you would like to discuss with us but are not able to send data or a manuscript, please send us an email outlining the project and the type of work you would like us to do. We will then contact you to go over our involvement and pricing structure.
