Developing the manuscript from the outline, data tables, notes, etc. Your priority as a researcher or company is to focus on research and innovation. Outsourcing manuscript writing to us is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to writing your own manuscripts, allowing you to focus on what you do best. Further, the earlier our scientists are involved in the process, the more assistance we can provide in identifying issues which will be of key importance during peer review.
Expert scientific review of the manuscript Two of our scientists in your field will identify scientific issues that might prevent your manuscript from being accepted for publication, and will work with you to resolve those issues. This service will speed up the submission process and increase the chances of publication in a high impact factor journal.
Language polishing and formatting to comply with journal style The writing and editing team will ensure not only that your language is clear, concise and has a native-English style, but also that the style and formatting of the manuscript adhere strictly to the journal style and Guide to Authors. This step will increase chances of acceptance for publication. As part of this service, one of our quality control copy editors will review the manuscript for typos, language issues and expression.
Drawing figures Drawing figures is an often overlooked but important aspect of manuscript preparation. Many authors do not have the correct software, time, or expertise to create professional figures. We use professional design software to create professional figures that are formatted according to journal requirements, saving you time and effort and increases chances of making it through the peer review process.
Journal Selection Publishing in a high impact factor journal is important for your career and helps you secure more funding for your research. We use our knowledge to generate a short-list of journals (usually 3 to 5) that we believe will be most appropriate and most likely to consider your work. We also give an assessment of the benefits and risks of submitting to each journal to enable you to make the most appropriate decision of your target journal. Edanz Writing can recommend a journal to meet your publication needs. We consider the following when identifying potential target journals:
Recent publication history
Scope of your study
Type of study (e.g., clinical study, case study, laboratory study)
Type of manuscript (e.g., short communication, full article, review article, letter to the editor)
Do you need to publish in a journal with an Impact Factor/indexed in Medline/Embase, etc.?
Cover letter development This is an important step in journal submission, writing a good cover lever significantly increases chances for publication. Manuscripts can be rejected or accepted based just on the quality and clarity of the cover letter. Details such as addressing the letter to the correct journal editor can make a difference in rejection or acceptance.
Journal management and submission assistance If required, we can work with the author to handle the submission process and monitoring of the manuscript throughout the entire peer review and publication process.
