For strong science that needs deeper editorial intervention. A native-English PhD editor provides substantive language editing, sentence and paragraph restructuring, improved logic and flow, and careful rephrasing of awkward or convoluted wording while preserving your scientific meaning. We correct language errors, refine academic tone and terminology, improve readability, and reduce word count where needed to meet journal limits. All edits are delivered with Word Tracked Changes and margin notes, so you remain in control. A typical 5,000-word manuscript receives about 800–1,600 edits before submission.

Example: a 5,000-word manuscript typically receives 800–1,600 edits (corrections, insertions, deletions, and comments).
What is it for?
The manuscript contains good science but needs substantial language improvement before submission.
Sentences or paragraphs need reorganisation to improve logic, coherence, readability, and flow.
The text is verbose (e.g., exceeds the journal’s word limit, requiring careful condensation), awkward, overly literal, or affected by non-native phrasing.
The manuscript includes AI-drafted or -assisted text that requires detailed checking for hallucinations, logical gaps, unsupported claims, inconsistent terminology, loss of scientific nuance, or overly generic wording.
What are the alternatives?
If your manuscript requires fewer changes and no substantial rewrites or text re-organization, consider our Standard Editing package.
If you prefer end-to-end support that includes formatting to journal guidelines, reference checking, 365-day re-edits, and help with journal submission and peer-review responses, please see our Carefree Package.
AI-assisted manuscripts: If your manuscript was drafted, translated, rewritten, or polished with AI, we can check whether the final text is logically coherent, scientifically precise, appropriately cautious, and internally consistent. We do not automatically treat AI-assisted manuscripts as easier or cheaper; the appropriate editing level depends on the quality and reliability of the text.
