After you select the appropriate level of editing for your manuscript, it is important to consider adding certain additional services, depending on your particular situation. The most common added services include the following:
Our professional senior editors will advise you about additional services that may benefit your manuscript.
Certificate of English Editing – Many journals require this certificate to be submitted with your manuscript, especially if you are a non-native English speaker.
English Support and High Impact Enhancement – This is useful for ESL clients who need more comprehensive language-based revisions to ensure the overall readability is consistent with journal editor and reviewer expectations.
Expert Content Assessment Report (ECAR) – This is often used by new authors who want to confirm their paper is coherent and offers a clear discussion of the subject matter.
Final Pre-submission Proofread of Revisions – Many authors like to make modifications after they receive the edited version of their paper. If these changes are significant, a follow-up proofread of the modified or newly added text is commonly requested.
Journal Submission Cover Letter – Our editors can prepare very persuasive cover letters to highlight the compelling nature of your study and paper.
Multi-Round Edits – This is for clients who have substantive content issues to address.-
Publication Support Services – Our experienced editors will help you identify several target journals to consider submitting your manuscript to for review.
Responses to Reviewer Comments – In most cases, journal editors and reviewers provide several comments that must be addressed prior to obtaining approval for publication. Our editors work closely with clients to ensure responses are persuasive.
Plagiarism Check – This is the most common added service. If you are consider about accidental plagiarism, we will help you to reword and rephrase original work.
After you have decided which level of editing is suited to your needs, and you have determined whether any added services are necessary, it is time to make a decision. There are three simple options to consider:
Request a Free Sample – If you have never placed an order with FirstEditing, you may want to request a free sample so you can evaluate the quality of your editor before you submit the manuscript for the full edit.
Get an Instant Quote – If cost is a concern, then it is very simple to obtain an instant quote by providing the word count of your document, the type of document, and the type of service you want.
Place an Order – Finally, after you have found the quality and the terms acceptable, it is time to place your order.
