Editing Services
‘Publish or perish’ is a classic phrase that highlights the intense pressure on researchers to publish their work. While authors compete to write and submit papers on time, journals and peer-reviewers are getting increasingly selective about the papers they accept and publish. A factor that commonly comes in the way of research and its publication is poor quality of written English. Poor English can detract from the quality of the findings, often leading to delays in publication and sometimes even in rejection of papers, especially those written by authors who are not from a native English-speaking country.
We at Enago understand the pressures of the academic world and the challenges of being an ESL author. Our editors are not only native English speakers, but also PhD graduates who recognize the value of being published in a prestigious journal. As subject-area experts, they understand the content of your manuscript and tailor their editing to achieve the desired impact on the intended audience. Thus with our English editing services, we ensure that every edited manuscript stands the best chance of being published in the target journal.
OUR EDITING LEVELS
We offer three levels of editing: proofreading, copyediting, and substantive editing. Our most popular service—Copyediting—has helped over 20,000 authors publish their work in reputed journals.

OUR EDITING MODEL - THE TWIN EDITOR MODEL
At Enago, we have adopted a twin editor model that ensures high quality within the shortest possible time. Under this model, every manuscript edited benefits from the expertise of two editors. Unlike other editing models, we do not separate science editing and English check as it often leads to content-related lapses. The uniqueness of our model is that in each round of editing, language and subject are reviewed simultaneously.

Copyediting (Single Check) includes steps  ,  &  Copyediting (Double Check) & Substantive Editing include all the above steps. |

HOW ARE OUR EDITORS DIFFERENT? |
From the outset, Enago has fostered the belief that the ability of speaking native English is not the only requirement for editing academic papers.“Quality” editing is the result of years of experience in writing, editing, and reviewing papers in specialized subject areas. Keeping this in mind, Enago employs only professional Editors with minimum 5 years of academic editing experience. Today, the average number of years of experience of our Editors is 19.4 years.
