Publications are the currency of academia. Whether you are a medical student applying for residency or an attending physician seeking promotion at a major academic center, there are few factors that play as vital a role in your career projection. With fierce competition for journal space it is imperative that your work be presented in the best possible light. Valuable clinical and basic science research is often rejected before the review process due to serious grammatical errors, formatting mistakes, and poor English. Our editing service is designed to address these and other limitations. We spend a considerable amount of time making changes to improve the flow of your manuscript, including eliminating jargon, rewriting sentences, restructuring paragraphs, and strengthening the overall writing style of your research document. We currently offer detailed editing for research manuscripts, grant applications, and meeting abstracts.
To further improve your research, each document receives one complementary second review by our editing staff, allowing discussion between you and your editor. After undergoing the first exhaustive review, you will have time to reply to any comments or concerns from the editor, incorporating further changes into the manuscript. Reviews beyond 2 are only offered for documents that have undergone standard physician editing at editingMD.com, and will be charged at the revision editing fee posted below.
Our editorial board currently offers manuscript review in the following medical specialties: Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Oncology, and Ophthalmology.
As with all our editing services, we do not offer different levels of editing quality. While it is common to offer various degrees of editing assistance, we feel strongly that every document we touch deserves our best work, and as such we only offer you our best with the goal of helping you publish faster in higher impact factor journals. On occasion we receive a research manuscript requiring extremely time intensive editing. In those rare cases, after initial review of the document, the submitting author will be contacted with an adjusted invoice. Editing will not proceed until the adjusted invoice is agreed upon and subsequently received. We do offer re-editing of all previously reviewed work at a discounted rate; however, it will still receive the same level of detail as the original document.
