Language Editing Service

Improve clarity and readability for preventive medicine manuscripts.

JPMC offers language editing to help authors present clear, professional manuscripts. The service is optional and designed to improve readability without altering scientific meaning.

Well-written manuscripts support fair review, faster decisions, and stronger reader impact. Authors can request editing before submission or after initial feedback.

• Grammar, syntax, and clarity
• Consistency in terminology and abbreviations
• Flow of arguments and paragraph structure
• Formatting of tables, figures, and captions
• Professional tone and academic style alignment

Language editing is recommended for authors who want to strengthen clarity, improve the flow of complex methods, or prepare manuscripts for international audiences.

It can be especially valuable for multi-author teams, early-career researchers, and submissions that combine technical detail with policy relevance.

• Submit your manuscript with an editing request
• Our editors review for clarity and language quality
• You receive a revised file with tracked changes
• Approval before peer review begins
• Finalize and submit to JPMC

Turnaround time depends on manuscript length and complexity. Editing focuses on language, clarity, and consistency, not on research content or conclusions.

Authors receive an edited version with tracked changes and a clean copy for final review.

Editing focuses on language and presentation. Scientific content remains the responsibility of authors, and all ethical statements must be provided in the original submission.

For questions about scope or timing, contact the editorial office before requesting the service.

• Statistical analysis or methodological redesign
• Content changes that alter scientific meaning
• Authorship disputes or ethical approvals
• Plagiarism checks beyond standard editorial screening

Send your manuscript title, word count, and preferred timeline to the editorial office. The team will confirm availability and estimated turnaround.

Authors can request editing before submission or after initial feedback to address clarity issues.

Editors follow structured checklists to ensure consistency, clarity, and professional tone. The goal is to reduce language-related delays during peer review.

Authors remain in control of the final manuscript and can accept or decline suggested language changes.

• Complex sentences that obscure key findings
• Inconsistent terminology across sections
• Ambiguous descriptions of methods or outcomes
• Formatting inconsistencies in tables and figures
• Overly technical phrasing that reduces readability

• Tracked-changes file highlighting edits
• Clean copy ready for submission
• Summary of key language improvements
• Optional clarification notes for technical terms

Request editing early if your manuscript includes complex methods, interdisciplinary terminology, or multi-author sections that require harmonization. Expedited timelines may be available upon request, subject to editor availability. This can reduce revision cycles later and improve reviewer focus during evaluation. Clear language also speeds production and improves reader uptake and engagement across audiences. Authors retain full control over final changes.
