Language Editing Service

Optional editing support to strengthen colorectal cancer submissions.

Language editing improves clarity, grammar, and presentation while preserving scientific meaning. It is optional but helpful for authors who want additional review before peer evaluation.

Editors focus on readability, consistency, and alignment with journal style requirements.

Language editing improves clarity and consistency without changing scientific meaning.

• Ensure clinical terminology is consistent
• Define abbreviations at first use
• Check grammar and sentence flow
• Align tables and figures with the text
• Clarify outcomes and timepoints
• Standardize headings and subheadings
• Confirm spelling of therapies and assays
• Review consent and ethics statements for clarity
• Improve readability for multidisciplinary audiences
• Check references for completeness

Language editing improves clarity, grammar, and flow without changing scientific meaning. It helps reviewers focus on content rather than language barriers.

• Grammar and syntax corrections
• Consistency in terminology and abbreviations
• Improved clarity for methods and results
• Formatting checks for readability

Authors who are non native English speakers or who need additional clarity in complex surgical or pathology descriptions may benefit from editing before submission.

• Before peer review to reduce revision cycles
• When manuscripts include complex protocols
• For multi author papers with inconsistent style

Language editing does not replace scientific review. Authors remain responsible for data accuracy, ethics compliance, and completeness of reporting.

Select the editing level based on manuscript complexity. Extensive editing may be beneficial for detailed surgical techniques or multi center clinical trials.

• Basic grammar and clarity checks
• Technical terminology consistency review
• Comprehensive editing for complex methods

Language editing improves readability but does not guarantee acceptance. Scientific quality and scope fit remain the primary criteria in peer review.

If you plan to use language editing, request it early so it does not delay submission deadlines. Provide the manuscript type and any specific terminology that should remain unchanged.

• Indicate target submission date
• Provide preferred terminology or abbreviations
• List any sections needing special attention
