Scientific Copy-Editing

Our Most Popular Editing Service

Our copy-editing service is favoured by scholars worldwide owing to its basis in deep, textual engagement. Our subject experts focus keenly on your data and ideas, bringing to the foreground the most important and original aspects of your research.

Through careful and considered interventions, our scientific copy editors work to clarify your ideas, refine your writing style, eradicate repetition or redundancy, thereby dramatically enhancing the readability of your scholarship. We will comb through your text on a granular level, ensuring your scientific writing is not only error-free, but stylish and elegant. Our copy-editing service queries and amends all awkward sentences, phrasing, and expressions. We relish working with complex data and can offer detailed feedback should parts of the text need revising for content or argumentative soundness.

Our bright, intuitive copy editors impart your work with the elegance of English at its finest, selecting words, phrases, and expressions that effectively convey your meaning without any compromises in scientific clarity or accuracy.

Our copy editors are assigned to manuscripts based on expertise. This facilitates deep engagement with your work, enabling your ideas to shine. Through our careful interventions, we can elevate the scholarly register of any manuscript, helping to engage your reader as effectively as possible with your ideas, whether you are working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or a STEM-adjacent discipline. We also relish editing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, bringing to bear our extensive expertise in fields such as Bioethics, AI, and the Philosophy of Science.

As part of scientific copy-editing, we render your work consistent with regard to formatting and referencing style. To this end, we are conversant with the dominant citation styles for all STEM subjects (including ACS, AIP, AMA, APA, ASA, Chicago, CSE, Harvard, ICMJE, and IEEE). Furthermore, we readily familiarise ourselves with the peculiarities required by different university faculties for the sake of Ph.D. and DPhil submission. Just let us know your referencing style and spelling conventions (e.g., American or British English) and we can begin transforming your manuscript into clear and compelling prose.

We take formatting extremely seriously, and we work systematically to ensure your tables, figures, and other graphical materials are presented clearly and consistently. We are adept in a wide range of software packages to facilitate the building of figures and reworking of graphics that need proofreading or reformatting, including Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel.

All changes to your work are logged through Microsoft Word’s Track Changes facility. This enables you to keep tabs on our interventions, giving you autonomy over the final draft of your work. All copy-edits are finished by our professional Quality Controller from the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, who provides the seal of approval to all work, guaranteeing client satisfaction.

We can work directly with TeX files for those composing work in LaTeX. We also provide file conversion services and are able to edit LaTeX documents in Overleaf and PDF.
