Language Editing/Copyediting
Language can often be a barrier for Chinese researchers. High-quality research may have difficulty gaining acceptance within top English-language journals because the grammar and writing style are deemed inaccessible by western editors. Improving the readability of a manuscript helps Chinese scholars get published in better journals, and in less time.
American Journal Experts (AJE) provides professional language editing services to authors around the globe who wish to publish in scientific, technical, medical and humanities journals. AJE employs expert editors with post-graduate training in a wide variety of fields who will check your manuscripts not only for terminology and language specific to your field but also for proper English usage, grammar, punctuation, spelling, verb tense, and phrasing. In addition, AJE's professional editors will make sure the text sounds natural and the sentences are well constructed. Visit their website for more information or to submit a document for their paper editing service.
