Manuscript Editing Process |
Following steps are involved in manuscript submission and editing process:
We edit your document to ensure that the spelling, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, and overall style reach the standard expected of an expert native English speaker.
We follow a 3-level of foolproof editing stages for each manuscript.
- Each manuscript is first reviewed by the chief editor to determine which expert editors in the editorial panel are best suited and have the relevant scientific background to review the document.
- The expert editor makes a thorough review and substantive editing of the manuscript until it is polished, clear, concise and conveying the original intent of the author.
- The manuscript is then reviewed a second time by the managing editor who is an expert English editor to ensure 100% correct use of grammar, punctuations, phrases and words. He also checks the manuscript for consistency and cohesiveness.
- Finally the manuscript is again routed through the chief editor for a final check and then returned to the author. Editors communicate with you as necessary throughout the editing process.
Manuscriptedit.com works with electronic manuscripts submitted online or sent as email attachments. The corrections are made directly into the manuscript using the ‘Track Changes’ option under the Tools menu of Microsoft Word.
On completion of the editing process, you will receive an e-mail alert from us. Your edited document with all suggested changes tracked, will be made available in your account domain. You can download your edited document after logging into your account using your username and password.
Using the tracking option of Microsoft Word, the manuscript can be viewed on the screen and/or printed either displaying or hiding the corrections. When the corrections are displayed, the deleted text appears red in colour with 'strike-through' and the inserted text is red in colour and underlined (e.g. "the samples were subjected to sintering sintered at 1200oC”).
You may select to accept or reject each editing suggestion individually in your edited documents. If you are in a rush you can simply accept all suggested changes.
Any queries/comments or suggestions will be highlighted in colour using the “Text highlight colour” option (e.g. “the powder was ground in a ball mill”). [Please insert the time for which grinding was done.]").
Reviewing and addressing these editorial suggestions can greatly improve your future scientific writing in English. The author must carefully check the final version to ensure that his/her meaning has been retained in the edited manuscript.
