We began formally working together in 2008, and over the years, our relationship has strengthened. Below you’ll learn more about our shared commitment to helping authors, highlights of the past decade in working together, and what the future holds.

Sharing a commitment to global researchers

Since our founding in 2004, AJE has edited over 700,000 papers in 2000 areas of study. We have helped hundreds of thousands of international researchers to eliminate their language barriers and get their work published in the best journals in the world.

As a team of former academics and publishing professionals, our commitment to global researchers is to provide the highest quality editing services in the world at accessible prices. For over a decade, we’ve been working closely with Springer Nature as partners to better serve global authors.

Springer Nature is a leading global research, educational and professional publisher, home to an array of respected and trusted brands providing quality content through a range of innovative products and services. The company numbers almost 13,000 staff in over 50 countries. Springer Nature’s brands are some of the most trusted and respected in their fields, with Springer founded by Julius Springer in 1842, Macmillan founded in 1843 and Nature first published in 1869. It is Springer Nature’s mission to help the community to discover, learn and achieve more.
