Most online research editing services hire highly qualified editors, many of whom are published authors and peer reviewers. In addition to years of research paper editing experience, the editors are familiar with the publication process and the publish-or-perish challenges of the scholarly world. Armed with such experienced editors, research editing services are best suited to guide you through the manuscript preparation and submission process. At Editage, we have developed a unique in-house algorithm to find the most suitable editor for your paper. Subject-specific editing is important to understand the author’s voice and avoid any scope for misinterpretation of the text. To ensure that each manuscript gets a thorough assessment in terms of language and content, it is assigned to a subject-specific editor who is part of a specialized subject area team called Center of Excellence. Every research editing service has its own system of working. The ideal scenario is to have a subject expert edit and improve your paper for language quality and then have a senior reviewer check the changes made by the editor in the first round. This two-level editing check will help eliminate all errors and ensure that the language, presentation, and clarity of your paper will match international publishing standards. Three-step editing model At Editage, we follow a robust, three-step editing model for research paper editing.

What tools are used for editing?Most research editing services revise your paper using the “track changes” feature of MS Word. Here is a sample of how an edited document will look. Apart from seeing the original text and the editor’s changes, you will also see comments wherein the editor will explain the change, suggest further change, or ask you for clarification.
