Our Client Experience
My English is so bad that I can't express what I mean accurately. The editor was able to understand exactly what I was trying to say and gave good advice on structure and logic etc. This service improves language fluency, makes articles easy to understand, and the price is reasonable. I have used the service for many times, and I will continue to use it in the future.

Thank you for your help, and for doing the editing faster than requested. It was very useful having it earlier, because I had a deadline for uploading the manuscript on April 18.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only a professional document editor who is also a subject-matter expert with several years of experience in research and scholarly editing will edit and review your paper. You can also consult these experts after the edit is complete and utilize the Client Questions service to clarify any doubts that you might have.
We prioritize subject-area expertise. Our editorial team includes physicians, PhDs, MDs, postgraduates, engineers, and even journal peer reviewers. Depending on academic qualifications and professional experience, our editors work with one of our 20 varied editing Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and have an in-depth understanding of your subject, relevant writing conventions, and terminologies.
All our manuscript editors and writers go through the Basic Editor Training (BET) program, that comprises five standard modules and various customized programs. Our medical writers receive specific training in ICH–GCP, CONSORT, and ICMJE guidelines. In addition, all our editors also receive intensive English language training. They attend external training programs and workshops that offer updates on grammar, punctuation, and style for American and British English.
We can edit as per two English language styles – American English and British English. You can specify your preferred language style.
At SAGE Author Services, we respect the confidentiality of research. All our employees are sensitized to the highly confidential nature of the documents they handle and are required to sign indefinitely binding confidentiality agreements. Moreover, only the editor working on your job and your client manager will have access to your information. If required, we will also sign confidentiality agreements with you before we embark on any professional relationship. Additionally, our data security processes have been ISO 9001:2008 certified.
Yes, we do edit documents in Latex and Tex file formats. After editing, we deliver the final document as a Tex File. In addition, we send a Word document that shows the changes we have made to the text and contains your editor’s comments and suggestions. Please note that we do not accept LyX files for editing.
We accept PDF documents only for our Advanced Editing services. We do not accept PDF files under Premium Editing as the format does not support the content restructuring offered under Premium Editing.
When submitting a PDF file for editing, please ensure that the text is double-spaced. PDF documents are edited using specialized software, and the text to be inserted is usually placed just above the original text. Therefore, the double-spacing will help you to easily recognize and understand the editor’s suggestions. The final files show the editor's changes and suggestions; however, you will have to incorporate those changes in your source file(s) manually.
Note that as PDF editing involves a few additional processes, the turnaround time is a little longer than for editing an MS Word file. Moreover, a 15% premium is applied to the fee. (If you need a faster turnaround time, or if you wish to avoid the premium fee, please submit an MS Word version of your document.)
We do not accept software-translated documents for editing. We request you to have your document translated by a professional before sending it to us for editing. You may alternatively opt for our translation services.
Once you have received the edited file, you can raise an unlimited number of questions with the editor via the CQ feature available in your SAGE online account. Alternatively, you can also write to us with queries at support@languageservices.sagepub.com, and we will send them to the editor.
We provide you with an error-free manuscript giving 100% quality assurance. However, we do not guarantee publication because publication depends solely on the journal, SAGE or otherwise.
