Manuscriptedit Newsletter - Friday, August 14, 2009

Edit your research papers, documents, newsletters, thesis for correct English before submitting for publication

Publishing a research paper in a reputed international journal usually takes 6 to 12 months if not more. After submission to the journals, it is peer-reviewed before its acceptance for publication. But very often, even excellent research findings don’t get published in reputed international journals because the reviewers do not give due attention to such manuscripts written with improper English. Similarly publishing document or newsletter written in improper English will generate less interest in your readers. Therefore, it is a good idea to get your research paper edited for English before submitting it to journals to increase its chances of publication. A thoroughly edited newsletter with professional appeal will attract more readers. But the question is where can you get your research paper edited? There are many online companies claiming to offer editing services but it is often difficult to decide which is the one that will give you the best quality editing service in the desired time. Hence it is better to look for some aspects before you jump in to submit your paper for editing.


Here are some tips:

1. Check the website of the editor and see that it contains all the information regarding services, payment methods etc in very clear terms.
2. You should be able to navigate through the website easily.
3. See that the editor has a sample edited work or agree to edit a sample document for you.
4. Check that you can easily contact the editor or his representatives easily by e-mail or over telephone.
5. Shortlist the prospective editors
6. Ask for a sample editing
7. Check how promptly they respond to your questions.
