English Language Editing

Our editors have or are currently completing a Masters, PhD, MD, or nursing degree from one of the top research universities in the U.S. They are native English speakers with extensive research, publishing, and/or teaching experience in their field and must meet rigorous selection standards based on the quality of their writing.

AJE will provide a certificate confirming that your paper was edited by AJE. Assuming that any changes we proposed are incorporated into the manuscript, the certificate guarantees that the English quality of your manuscript is appropriate for peer review. If your paper does not earn a certificate after one round of editing, we will be happy to work with you to improve the language until the paper qualifies for a certificate.

Research Communication Partners (RCPs) are advanced degree-holding experts in their field who have a thorough knowledge of the publication process. They are well versed in all of AJE’s services and can help you understand which services will best fit your needs. If you have questions, concerns, or special requests, your RCP will provide personalized support, listen to your concerns, and help you until your paper is successfully published. All of our RCPs have previous experience as AJE editors or quality control editors, so if you have any questions about the changes your editor made, your RCP can provide explanations. In addition, if you purchase Premium Editing services, you will receive personalized access to an RCP who will contact you to introduce themselves and listen to any concerns or questions you might have about our services, the editing process or the publication process.

AJE now supports direct editing of LaTeX files in all areas of study.

To submit a manuscript for editing directly in LaTeX:

1. Submit your work for editing.
2. Upload your LaTeX file in the document upload section of the process.
3. Upload any related dependency files that we would need to compile your LaTeX file (e.g., figures, .sty, .cls, .bib, .pdf etc.) as reference files.

Please note: Only manuscripts written in English are eligible for direct editing in LaTeX. Changes will not be tracked within the edited LaTeX files themselves. If possible, we will generate a PDF of the file showing the changes that have been made to the .tex file. Please note that the provided PDF will show the LaTeX code along with the changes. If you wish to see your changes tracked within the same document, please convert your file to another format. To do this, save your .tex file as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file before submitting it for editing. In this case, we also ask that you include a compiled PDF of your manuscript (without code) that can be used as a reference.
