What do we edit?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each manuscript we receive will first go to the Editorial Head, and then he will forward it to two concerned editors, who will edit the manuscript. The editors will send the manuscripts back to the Editorial office, where both the correction will be compiled into one. The completed manuscript and an invoice will be sent back to the corresponding author. Within two weeks, the corresponding author is supposed to make the payment.
The manuscripts are edited by the use of the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word or highlighted as chosen by the authors. Whenever possible, we will also provide a comment with the change to know the author, what was wrong.
We edit manuscripts to either American English or British English standards. Please mention the style of your preference at the time of submission. If no choice is mentioned, we will edit as per American English standards.
