Careful journal article editing and proofreading are therefore absolutely essential when preparing a scholarly article for journal publication. Each author will need to check and correct his or her own work, of course, and having colleagues or mentors read the paper and offer a constructive commentary is also an excellent idea. However, there is simply no substitute for the journal editing services of a professional proofreader who specialises in academic or scientific writing. When you send your article to us, for instance, you can be confident that a highly educated native speaker of English who is familiar with your discipline and subject area will proofread your work with the utmost attention to detail, correcting any errors in your grammar, spelling and punctuation and ensuring that you have observed all the journal requirements for structure, formatting and referencing.

Although the articles written for publication in academic and scientific journals tend to be relatively short, a great deal of research and analysis lies behind each article. As anyone who has authored a successful scholarly paper knows, the writing itself takes considerable time and effort, as do organising the material into an effective structure and designing tables, figures and appendices to clarify and enhance the content. In addition, quotations and citations must be accurate and include correct and thorough references, and a title, abstract and keywords that perfectly represent the article and enable potential readers to find and use it efficiently are required.

There are, then, many elements to consider while producing an article for journal publication, and the requirements and priorities of the author and his or her research must be balanced against the requirements and priorities of the journal. Academic and scientific journals usually have rather detailed and exacting author instructions or submission guidelines, and these must always be followed with precision, even when they are complicated or difficult to understand. It is wise to keep in mind that most journal editors receive far more submissions than they have the space to publish, and since the formatting and styles demanded by journals are highly visible aspects of writing, the work of authors who fail to meet the journal requirements can be rejected at a single glance without the content (and the extensive research behind it) being seriously considered. However, publication in respected scholarly journals is a vital means of communicating the results of research and an important aspect of a successful scientific or academic career.

While you are planning and preparing your articles you may find the Guide to Academic and Scientific Publication: How To Get Your Writing Published in Scholarly Journals helpful. This guide focuses on sound scholarly practices and the requirements of academic and scientific journals and is available as a free ebook.
