Language Editing Service

Improve clarity and professionalism in otolaryngology manuscripts.

Clear language improves peer review efficiency and helps clinicians interpret ENT findings accurately. JOA offers language editing guidance to support authors whose manuscripts need additional clarity.

Language editing focuses on grammar, structure, and scientific clarity without changing scientific meaning.

• Grammar and spelling corrections
• Improved sentence clarity and readability
• Consistency in medical and ENT terminology
• Formatting adjustments for journal style
• Suggestions for stronger abstracts and titles

Authors should request editing before submission if English is not the primary language of the research team or if prior submissions received language focused reviewer comments.

Early editing reduces revision cycles and helps maintain review timelines.

Submit your manuscript draft to the editorial office and indicate the level of editing required. Turnaround times vary based on manuscript length and complexity.

The editorial office will confirm scope, timing, and any applicable service fees before work begins.

High quality language improves the presentation of complex otolaryngology methods, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes. Clear writing also improves indexing and discoverability.

Email [email protected] with your manuscript title and the type of editing needed. The editorial office will advise on next steps.

Language editing is advisory and does not guarantee acceptance. Authors remain responsible for accuracy, ethics compliance, and data integrity.

JOA emphasizes transparent methods and reproducible reporting. Manuscripts should clearly describe study design, cohort selection, intervention protocols, and outcome definitions so reviewers can assess clinical relevance and rigor.

We encourage authors to document analytic decisions, device specifications, and follow up intervals. Clear reporting strengthens evidence quality and helps clinicians apply findings in practice.

Using structured reporting standards improves peer review efficiency and supports long term reuse of ENT evidence.

• Use CONSORT, STROBE, or PRISMA
• Report adverse events and limitations
• Define primary and secondary outcomes
• Document follow up duration
• Provide transparent data statements

The editorial office supports authors with scope checks, formatting guidance, and policy clarifications before and after submission. Early communication prevents delays and ensures manuscripts meet ENT expectations, including data statements, ethics approvals, and reporting standards.

Authors receive clear decision letters and may request clarification on reviewer feedback or revision priorities. The team can also advise on file preparation, figure requirements, and how to present clinical outcomes for readability.

For workflow questions or guidance on special issues, contact [email protected] and include the manuscript title and journal name.

• Scope check support before submission
• Guidance on reporting standards
• Help with data availability statements
• Clarification on revision expectations
• Support during proof review

Open access publishing increases the reach of otolaryngology research across clinical, academic, and allied health communities. Articles are immediately accessible to clinicians, trainees, and policy teams who rely on current evidence.

JOA supports DOI registration, metadata quality checks, and indexing readiness to improve discoverability and citation tracking. Clear titles and structured abstracts strengthen search visibility.

Authors can increase impact by sharing DOI links, depositing datasets, and communicating findings through professional networks.

• DOI registration for permanent access
• Metadata validation for indexing
• Open access for global readership
• Support for institutional reporting
• Guidance on sharing published work

Submissions move through initial screening, peer review, revision, and production. Each stage includes quality checks to ensure ethical compliance and accurate reporting.

JOA aims to deliver decisions within the 2 to 4 week review window, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity. Prompt author responses help keep timelines on track.

After acceptance, articles proceed to copyediting, proof review, and DOI registration before publication.

• Initial screening for scope and ethics
• Single blind peer review by experts
• Revision cycle based on reviewer input
• Production with copyediting and proofs
• Publication after final approval

After publication, authors should share the DOI link through professional networks, institutional repositories, and conference presentations. This improves reach among ENT clinicians and researchers.

Corrections, updates, or data clarifications can be coordinated with the editorial office to maintain an accurate scholarly record. JOA supports transparent updates when needed.
