* We offer a scientific edit or a language edit.

A scientific edit is performed by a former-journal editor/grants specialist and aims to increase the impact of your manuscript or grant. The edit depends on your needs, and can include better highlighting the main points, and minimizing weaknesses. We also ensure the language is accurate. Our rate is 130 USD/hour and we generally require 7-9 hours for a manuscript, and 10-20 hours for a grant, depending on the extent of edits required. You can discuss this with your editor.

A language edit is performed by an associate editor, who has PhD/Post-doc and editing experience. They will ensure the text is clear and accurate. The rate is 0.10 USD/word (excl. refs).
