Manuscript Editing
Writing an original research manuscript for submission to an academic journal or press is a significant accomplishment in itself, but, as most researchers soon discover, painstaking manuscript editing is required to submit excellent work, pass peer review and earn a journal article or academic book successful publication. Proof-Reading-Service.com offers expert manuscript proofreading services for university professors, advanced researchers, postgraduate students and other professional authors who write and publish research documents across all academic and scientific fields.
Why Is Expert Manuscript Editing So Important for Research Documents?
Expert manuscript editing corrects mechanical, grammatical and organisational errors of all kinds and establishes consistency and precision in every line, detail and part of a research document, from its title to its list of references. Manuscript proofreaders who specialise in research-based writing ensure that their clients observe the author guidelines of their target journals and publishers. A professional editor who shares an author’s research interests and education can also help with the challenging revisions requested by acquisitions proofreaders and peer reviewers. The best manuscript proofreaders even make their own thoughtful suggestions, offering their clients fresh but informed perspectives and the possibility of further improvements. In short, expert manuscript proofreading services performed by a qualified and conscientious professional can make a journal article or an academic monograph a far more effective and publishable tool for sharing original research.

Exactly What Do Authors Receive from Our Manuscript Editors?
Most of our clients submit their writing for manuscript proofreading services as Microsoft Word documents, and our manuscript proofreaders then make necessary changes and add thoughtful suggestions directly to those documents. When the manuscript editing is finished, the author receives:
- Two versions of the manuscript file: a clean version and a tracked version. The clean version incorporates the manuscript editor’s changes into a finished document, whereas the tracked version shows the changes and offers the author creative control to accept or reject any one or all of them.
- The necessary line-by-line corrections provided by our detailed and thorough manuscript proofreading services. These include changes to correct typing, grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors, to establish stylistic and structural consistency, and to clarify the author’s meaning.
- Adjustments made during journal manuscript editing to meet the publication guidelines of the author’s target journal or press. Elements such as citations, references, notes, tables, figures, headings, layout and structure often require adjustment.
- Explanations for the reasons behind any changes that may not be immediately obvious to the author, particularly when complex or extensive changes have been made.
- Comments and suggestions offered by the manuscript editor about further changes that the author may want to make to improve the writing style, sentence structure, vocabulary, phrasing, tone, flow, organisation, logical argumentation or other aspects of the document.
