Who Should Consider Editing

Editing is useful for authors writing in a second language or teams seeking higher clarity before review.

Turnaround

Turnaround depends on manuscript length and complexity. The editorial office confirms timelines before editing begins.

Scope of Editing

Language editing focuses on grammar, clarity, terminology consistency, and overall readability. The goal is to help reviewers focus on scientific content without distraction.

What Editing Does Not Do

Editors do not alter scientific conclusions or redesign analyses. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of methods, results, and interpretations.

Author Review

Authors should review all suggested edits to ensure technical accuracy. Accept only changes that preserve intended meaning and data reporting.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts shared for editing are treated as confidential and used only for language improvement purposes.

Formatting Support

Editors can improve section structure, headings, and caption clarity. Final formatting must still follow the journal instructions for authors.

Pricing and Quotes

Costs depend on word count and complexity. Contact the editorial office with your manuscript for a quote and timeline estimate.

How to Request

Email the editorial office with your manuscript, target journal, and preferred submission date. We will confirm availability and next steps.

Pre Submission Benefit

Edited manuscripts typically move through screening faster because formatting and clarity issues are minimized. This can shorten the overall review cycle.

Terminology Consistency

Editing helps standardize behavioral terms, abbreviations, and intervention labels. Consistency reduces reviewer confusion and improves clarity for interdisciplinary readers.

Tables and Figures

Editors can improve captions and labeling for tables and figures. Clear visuals support reviewer understanding and reduce requests for clarification.

Reviewer Perspective

Well edited manuscripts allow reviewers to focus on methods and results rather than grammar issues. This supports more constructive feedback.

Final Read Through

After editing, perform a final read through to confirm terminology, tables, and references align with the cleaned text. A quick internal review helps avoid inconsistencies and speeds editorial screening. Confirm that terminology matches the field standards for verbal operants, AAC, and assessment instruments to avoid confusion during peer review and production stages later.
