At SciTechEdit, your manuscript is edited and reviewed by native English-speaking professional science editors. Many of our editors have published in peer-reviewed journals and have served as reviewers for a variety of scientific and technical journals, and grant review committees. Our editors have experience in a wide variety of scientific, medical, and technical fields, with expertise in helping you to convey your original meaning. Your manuscript and all information it contains are kept in complete confidentiality. We will provide a non-disclosure agreement upon request.
We highly recommend that all sections be edited. Sometimes a reviewer will key on a single poorly written sentence and reject the manuscript. For example, results are sometimes presented for experiments not described in the Methods section. As more journals rely on electronic manuscript submission, the accuracy of the references is completely the responsibility of the author. Even when references are formatted using software (e.g., EndNote) we frequently find formatting, spelling, and factual errors in the references. Such errors can lead to a manuscript being rejected by the journal.
Nevertheless, for some manuscripts, you may not wish to have portions (e.g., Methods or References) edited. Having these sections included in the manuscripts helps our editors to provide the very highest quality of editing. If the editors have questions, they often use the Methods, Results, References, Tables, and Figures as resources to ensure consistency and accuracy throughout the manuscript. For example, the description in the text may not agree with the data in a figure. Because our editors are also scientists, they can identify this discrepancy and notify the author.
If you wish to exclude some sections of your manuscript from editing, please let us know and they will not be included in the word count.
The first highly qualified professional editor performs the initial editing and a second equally qualified editor will compare the edited version to the original for accuracy, completeness, misinterpretations, style, etc., to ensure the highest quality product. The 2 editors work together to provide you the best possible service.
Each manuscript is first reviewed by a senior managing editor to determine which team of science editors is best suited to edit the manuscript. The manuscript is then repeatedly edited by the team of science editors until the manuscript is polished, clear, and concise. The manuscript is returned to the managing editor and then returned to the client. Editors communicate with you as necessary throughout the editing process.

At SciTechEdit, we are committed to delivering top-notch science editing services to enhance the impact and clarity of your research. We understand the importance of effective communication in the scientific community, and our team of experienced editors is here to help you refine and elevate your scientific manuscripts.
Clear writing enhances the reader’s understanding of the importance of your reported findings. Once published, a permanent record of your ideas and hypotheses and thought processes is established, allowing others to build on your ideas for future investigation, which is the backbone of scientific exploration. This is crucial for scientific progress.
Providing other scientists a piece of new information as a platform for building their own inquiries is also crucial for your career as a scientist. Science aims to enhance the understanding and lives of humanity. Findings that cannot be easily accessed or understood delay the advancement of science. The investment, in both time and money, spent on research warrant dispersion of the findings of the research, whatever they may be, to a global audience. The language used must be understood by both native and non-native English-speaking scientists throughout the world. In other words, a more ‘scientific English’ rather than the type of English used socially or in classical literature. Let SciTechEdit help you to communicate your science to an international audience.
