Language Editing Service

Professional language support for authors submitting to Journal of Alzheimer's Research and Therapy (JALR).

Clear language strengthens scientific impact

JALR offers optional language editing support to help authors present their Alzheimer's research with clarity, precision, and professionalism. Well edited manuscripts improve peer review efficiency and reduce delays at revision.

Language editing is optional and does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are evaluated on scientific merit.

Who should consider editing?

Authors who are not native English speakers, or teams that want to polish grammar and flow, may benefit from professional editing. The service focuses on clarity, structure, and readability while preserving scientific accuracy. It is also useful for complex multidisciplinary manuscripts.

What the service includes

Grammar and clarity

Corrections for grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure to improve readability.

Scientific tone

Refinement of phrasing to match academic standards in neurology and dementia research.

Consistency

Standardized terminology and consistent usage of abbreviations.

Formatting review

Basic checks to align the manuscript with JALR structure and style.

What the service does not include
  • No changes to scientific content, results, or interpretation.
  • No guarantee of acceptance or editorial outcome.
  • No rewriting of methodological decisions or data analysis.
How to request editing

To request editing support, email the editorial office at [email protected] with your manuscript title, article type, and a short description of your needs. The team will provide guidance on timelines and next steps.

Tip: Request language editing before peer review to reduce revision cycles and speed up decisions and review efficiency.

Typical turnaround

Turnaround depends on manuscript length and complexity. Short communications often require less time than full research articles or systematic reviews. The editorial office will confirm an estimated timeline once the request is reviewed.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts submitted for language support are treated as confidential. Files are used only for editing purposes and are not shared beyond the editorial or language support team.

When editing is most helpful
  • Complex clinical or statistical content where clarity improves comprehension.
  • Multinational or multidisciplinary teams with varied writing styles.
  • Manuscripts with extensive figure captions or technical terminology.
  • Revisions that require improved flow or organization.
Benefits for authors

Clear language improves reviewer focus on scientific quality rather than grammar. It also enhances reader comprehension, which is essential for clinical adoption and caregiver education.

Well presented manuscripts can increase citation potential by making complex findings easier to understand and reuse. This is especially helpful for interdisciplinary teams and non native English speakers.

Editing and peer review

Language editing is separate from peer review. Edited manuscripts still undergo standard editorial screening and external review. Strong language quality improves communication but does not guarantee acceptance.

Integrating editing with submission

Authors may request editing before initial submission or after receiving reviewer feedback. If you use editing support, note this in your cover letter so the editorial team understands the stage and context of the request.
