Improve Your Chances of Publication with our Scientific Editing Service

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 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.
