How It Works

Recommended Timing

Authors are encouraged to request language editing before initial submission to avoid delays during revision and to improve reviewer comprehension.

Who Should Consider Editing

Language editing is helpful for authors writing in a second language, multidisciplinary teams, or researchers who want to polish clarity before peer review. Clear writing reduces misunderstandings and improves reviewer focus on scientific content.

Editors do not change study findings but help ensure that methods, results, and conclusions are described clearly and consistently.

Teams preparing grant funded work often use editing to align terminology and maintain consistency across coauthors, especially when multiple institutions contribute. This helps maintain a professional tone and reduces revision requests during peer review, which is helpful for complex multidisciplinary studies. It is also valuable for early career authors building publishing confidence.

Turnaround and Workflow

After you request editing, the editorial office confirms scope and estimated turnaround. Most manuscripts are returned within the timeframe agreed in advance, depending on length and complexity.

Authors review suggested edits, accept changes, and ensure that all scientific content remains accurate before submission.

If you need an expedited review, let the editorial office know during the request stage. We will confirm availability and advise on the most realistic timeline based on capacity.

What Editing Does Not Cover

Language editing does not replace methodological review or statistical validation. Authors remain responsible for study design, analysis accuracy, and ethical compliance.

If substantial content changes are required, editors may recommend additional revision before submission to peer review.

Benefits for Peer Review

Well edited manuscripts reduce misunderstandings and allow reviewers to focus on scientific rigor rather than language issues. This can lead to more precise feedback and faster editorial decisions.

Clear language also improves the accessibility of your work to multidisciplinary audiences, which is important in tropical medicine where clinical, public health, and laboratory perspectives intersect.
