Experienced editing that greatly increases the chance of your valuable research being published in impactful journals

Academic writing is difficult: extensive experience and strong language skills are needed to ensure that the key messages of your research are expressed clearly, accurately, and convincingly. Along with funding, English language proficiency is the most important factor that determines publication in high-ranking English language journals.1 SciMeditor is an excellent choice as your editor for many reasons, in particular:

(1) Extensive skills and experience

 I (the founder of SciMeditor) have a strong background in biomedical research, outstanding English language skills, and a strong commitment to excellence. I have clients based all over the world and extensive editing experience - over the last 20 years, I have edited:

*  >3000 biomedical papers 

*  >400 reply-to-reviewer letters 

*  >100 NIH grant applications.

(2) A proven track record of helping researchers publish quickly in excellent journals

In the last decade:

* 41% of all papers I edited were published in the top 10% of journals in the field

Mean (median) Journal IF of the publication journals = 3.918 (2.878)  

Mean (median) SNIP of the publication journals = 1.301 (1.131)

Journals include The Lancet, Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, Gut, Cell Metabolism, PNAS, JEMJACC...

Average duration from first edit to publication = 6 months

91% of papers published in 12 months

Thus,  I can help you to produce polished, concise, highly readable, and very clear manuscripts that stand an excellent chance of rapid publication in the best journal for your work. I guarantee you that your edited documents will not be rejected because of language or structural problems.

(3) Multiple services for differing needs

My extensive experience with my clients has led me to develop a variety of editing packages and services that will meet your every editing need as you move towards successful and career-affirming publication. Thus, you can choose between:

Two turnover rates - regular (7 days) and express (72 hours)

Two levels of editing - Basic and Comprehensive

Two levels of FREE revision support - Comprehensive (one FREE re-edit) and Comprehensive PLUS (unlimited FREE re-edits until you have published).

Comprehensive PLUS is the most generous editing package on the web.

My Analytical Review service can also show you how to further strengthen your manuscript before it goes for peer review.
