  • the aim and rationale of the study or work are clear and are expressed consistently throughout the text
  • the concepts flow smoothly and logically from paragraph to paragraph and from section to section
  • there is no ambiguity or inclusion of less relevant concepts or data that could cause reader confusion
  • the methods are described with the appropriate amount of detail needed for reproducibility
  • there are no missing data and no discrepancies in the way the data are described in various sections of the work
  • the statistics that are used are appropriate and are described correctly
  • the figures, figure legends, and tables are spelled and formatted correctly and consistently

To estimate how it will cost to edit your manuscript with the Comprehensive Editing service, simply multiply the total number of words in your manuscript (without references) by the price per word shown above. For example, if your manuscript is 2000 words (without references), Comprehensive Editing at the Regular rate will cost US$200 (2000xUS$0.10) or US$280 at the Express rate (2000xUS$0.14).

* Note that the Analytical Review Service provides an in-depth detailed analysis of the strengths and weakness of the manuscript. 

** Word counts will be met unless the word count markedly exceeds the word count limit. At that point, further word count reduction becomes risky: I may inadvertently delete important information. Large word count reduction is also very time-consuming. In this case, I will inform you that the manuscript body exceeds the word count limit and that I advise you to revise the manuscript to reduce the word count.
