Our Editors


We only work with native English-speaking editors with advanced or postdoctoral degrees in their disciplines.


 





All of our editing packages include a high-level English language edit, checking for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style and readability, as well as checking for consistency of content and ensuring that your article complies with journal guidelines.


Each service offers a different level of benefits, depending at what stage your article is in the publishing process.


Essential Editing: Full language check, 60% discount for re-editing your article within one year, and ability to choose your preferred editor.


Advanced Editing: In addition to the services offered in our Charlesworth Essential package, you will also be able to have your article re-edited free of charge within one year and will receive help with your reviewer responses.


Premium Editing: For articles that may require a greater level of intervention in the scientific content as well as language, this package includes all the benefits of our Charlesworth Essential and Advanced packages, as well as a full scientific review from our expert editors to improve the content and increase the likelihood of peer review evaluation. (Please click here to view an example of the Scientific Review form used by our editors when reviewing your article.) You will also be able to have your article re-edited free of charge within one year.



Yes, if you would like to see a sample of some of our editing work on previous articles then please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with a sample from a similar subject area. If you choose to use our editing service, you will also be provided with a sample of your edited article to check before you are asked to make your payment.

Once you have uploaded your article to our website, it will be assessed by a member of our team before being assigned to an editor. Before your article has been assessed, if you would like to change the package type of your article then please contact us and we will arrange this. Once your article has been assigned to an editor you will not be able to change the package type.

Yes, once your article has been completed, you can download an Editorial Certificate from our website, by clicking on the green tick symbol next to your article.


If you have made significant changes to your paper after we have completed our edit, the certificate may not be valid and you should check with our customer services department at helpdesk@cwauthors.com. (A 'significant change' is regarded as new content being introduced, or a large proportion of our recommended changes for the document not being accepted, and resulting in language errors being left in the manuscript).


Note: An Editorial Certificate does not guarantee publication. This is the decision of the journal editor.

Yes. If you were particularly happy with the work on a previous paper then you can request to have the same editor work on your next article (subject to availability). Please provide us with the paper number of your previous article and we will make sure that your new article is assigned to the same editor. If for any reason your chosen editor is unavailable, we will let you know and give you the option to choose another editor or wait until the original editor becomes available.


Please note that as part of our Ethics Policy we do not disclose the personal identities of our editors.
