AJE is proud to offer three new services from our partners at Nature Research Editing Service. These services are designed to provide top-quality developmental editing and advice on manuscripts and grant applications in the natural sciences (medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences) and engineering.
Get expert in-depth editing and strategic advice on your manuscript, review article or grant proposal from a team of editors following the quality standards set by Nature Research. Scientific Editing includes a premium English language edit, a developmental edit, a quality assurance edit and a summary report.
Your work is edited by a native English speaker in your field to remove language mistakes. They check grammar and punctuation and create natural and professional phrasing. Later editors can then focus on issues such as structure. After you have made changes based on the scientific editor’s comments, we will edit your revised paper for English language one time for free within 6 months of your original order.
A custom 4-8 page report providing insight into how journal editors, peer reviewers, and readers might view your text. It also includes strategic advice for improving your writing in the future.
By looking at the presentation of the novelty of your findings and their potential impact, we can help readers understand their value and help you decide where to publish.
Based on the current text, we suggest journals that fit the topic and seem appropriate in terms of impact.

We never show your paper to anyone so you can be confident that when you submit to a journal, the editor's decision will be independent and fair
We guarantee that if you language-edited paper is rejected by a journal because of the English alone, and we believe that you have made a good faith effort to incorporate our changes, we will re-edit your paper once for free. After you have made changes based on the scientific editor’s comments, we will edit your revised paper for English language one time for free within 6 months of your original order.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your work. You did really an excellent job. What I liked in particular was that you gave comments with substantial suggestions how to improve. Although I have published till now quite a number of scientific papers (>300) and many of them in high impact journals I learned a lot throughout this. I Iook forward to future cooperation of mutual benefit.

The report with the feedback summarizing edits and comments is very informative. We appreciate a lot your editor’s work, with changes tracked and comments on the text improving clearly our manuscript. Finally, your recommendations concerning the most appropriate journal for publication will decidedly help us for the next submission of our manuscript.

Our scientific editing service is open to any researcher or author regardless of where the text will be submitted for publication. It is not only for Springer Nature publications.
Both are suitable for scientific text, but the two types of editing are very different. Language editing focuses on spelling, grammar and phrasing. With scientific editing, we do whatever we can to help you express your specialized scientific ideas for your target audience. The choice between these services depends on what you want us to do. If you want help with your English, choose language editing. If you would like broader and more intensive help with communicating your research, choose scientific editing.
No, and to do so would be unethical. Scientific editing of a paper by Nature Research Editing Service in no way implies that the paper will be selected for peer review or accepted by a Springer Nature publication or any other publication. The decisions of journal editors are based on the suitability of each paper for that journal and are entirely independent of whether the paper has been edited by Nature Research Editing Service.
