"I have used American Journal Experts four times for now. I am truly grateful to the editors and the research communication partners who have helped me to greatly improve the quality of the English writing of my papers. Among the manuscripts that I have asked AJE editors for editing help, two have been accepted and published on Energy Policy and World Development, respectively. I am confident that with the help of AJE I will be able to publish more efficiently in the future. Among the different types of services that AJE offers, I would especially like to recommend the Premium Editing service to fellow researchers, since it offers unlimited re-editing at no charge, which is truly convenient. Moreover, the Research Communication Partners are very helpful and responsive. They always reply to my queries in a very timely manner. I hope that more researchers will benefit from AJE as much as I do."

"AJE combines the high level of professionalism with friendly and familiar conversation. The translations and edits of the text are duly explained in notes in the file and the editors are sure to maintain meaning and clarity. Clarifications and discussions on smaller or larger aspects of the work are quick, well argued and of a high standard. It is a money well-spent."

The AJE Guarantee

We strive to give you the best possible service for your academic manuscript.

100% satisfaction guarantee

The completed manuscript you receive from AJE’s editing services is covered by our editing guarantee. We guarantee that if you are not satisfied with the editing of your manuscript or if a journal mentions English language errors, we will re-edit your document for free.

Discounted Standard and Advanced Editing

For Standard Editing, material added to your paper after our editors work on your manuscript is not included in this guarantee. For this reason, we recommend that you send us your final draft when you order our services. If you need to add content or make substantial changes after receiving comments from the journal editor or reviewers, you may resubmit your paper for a discounted re-edit. Our Premium Editing service provides more robust editing support designed for customers seeking a greater degree of assistance with their manuscript. We will also continue to re-edit your document for free until it has been published.

Reach out with your concerns

Although a relatively rare occurrence, if a journal mentions English as a problem in a manuscript that we edited, we want to know. Please contact us with the file that you sent to the journal and all the comments from the journal. Our empathetic customer service team will reply within one United States business day to explain how we can help you.

Provide us with examples

If you are ever unhappy with our editing, we will work with you until you are satisfied. In such cases, please contact our customer support via any of our support channels and provide one or two specific examples or a few details about what is unsatisfactory. We will be happy to work with you to find the best solution.
