How to get a service quotation from Edanz Writing
A well written publication that fulfills ethical considerations is more likely to be considered for publication and will be reviewed more favorably than one that ignores the recommendations. Recent developments in the medical/pharmaceutical field mean that an acute awareness of publication ethics is paramount, not just for authors, but also study sponsors, study investigators, journal editors, and service providers such as Edanz Writing. Edanz is an ethically responsible company and we would like to encourage our clients to do the same. Therefore, we recommend acknowledging the use of our service in line with publications guidelines. For a more detailed explanation see our Publication ethics page.
The work-flow and timeline will depend on the length and current condition of your manuscript, and whether we begin from a brief outline, set of data or notes, or a developed manuscript, or a manuscript which has been rejected from peer review.
Each Edanz Writing service package includes at least one opportunity for client review and feedback, and more extensive services, such as the Manuscript writing, include three rounds of client review and feedback.
After reviewing our Service Examples and Estimates page then the next step is to send your manuscript to info@edanzwriting.com to receive a detailed service proposal which will include a price quotation and estimated timeline, and when necessary, our initial scientific review comments and service recommendations.
We recommend the following steps to best meet your objectives and ensure a smooth work-flow:
There are three main factors which will affect the cost of our service:
While Edanz provides the same quality of service regardless of the level of the journal you are submitting to, your publication goals can affect the time spent on your manuscript. Publication goals might include publication in a high impact factor journal, a chapter of a book, a conference poster, medical education slide-kits, or any other method of communicating your scientific research. Your publication goals will affect the type of service you require and thus affect the price. For example, submitting to a top-tier journal such as Nature, Science, or Lancet, can require more work to ensure the manuscript meets these journal's often extensive style and formatting requirements than if you submit to a lower impact factor journal with lesser guidelines.
All services charged at 800 RMB per hour (China) or 12,000 JPY per hour (Japan). currency converter
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:

Two of our scientists in your field will work with you to rewrite your paper according to the scientific and language issues that were identified by the peer reviewers. This service will speed up the submission process and increase the chances of meeting your publication goals.
