"I enjoy helping customers refine their manuscripts throughout their entire publication journey, from manuscript preparation to publication, so that their research can be shared with the scientific community quickly and clearly."

PHD, INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA, TAMPA

"My experience in research, teaching, and scientific writing has centered on ecology and environmental science, with a particular focus on the causes and consequences of invasions of natural communities by nonnative organisms. During my dissertation and postdoctoral work at the University of South Florida and the University of Florida, respectively, I collaborated on multiple NSF grant applications, successfully obtained grant funding from various other sources, and published several papers in competitive journals, often as first author. In my current position as a senior Academic Editor at AJE, I use this experience to help other scientists more effectively communicate their work and achieve their publication goals."

T. Schmidt

RESEARCHER

We used the AJE after a recent manuscript was returned with one reviewer mentioning "rough English". After comparing rates of other edit services, we used AJE due to their reasonable pricing. We were very satisfied with the edit service of AJE and were glad that we could mention in the reply letter to the editor that we used AJE in order to solve the language problem. No futher complaints regarding language were made and the paper is now accepted. Thank you AJE!
