Edanz Writing can help you by reviewing your work before submission and by rewriting to fit the requirements and style of the target journal. We have scientific reviewers based around the world, with extensive experience and recognition in their field. All have experience in writing and peer-reviewing for nationally and internationally recognized journals. Edanz Writing reviewers read and comment on the manuscript contents in a similar way to journal reviewers. They make suggestions for improvements and identify aspects of your manuscript that might be an obstacle to acceptance by your target journal. They provide independent advice and guidance to both the author and our writers. To do this, they look at the significance, novelty, content, methods used, results, discussion, conclusions, literature cited, and target journal, as well as any other issues arising in the 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.
