Optional Service
Language editing is optional and does not guarantee acceptance. It is a service designed to help authors present their research clearly and professionally before peer review.
When to Consider Editing
We recommend editing if English is not your first language, if the manuscript is complex, or if the paper integrates multiple methods that benefit from clear explanation.
Scope of Editing
Editing typically includes grammar, spelling, clarity, and academic tone. It does not alter the scientific content or data interpretation.
How to Request Support
Contact the editorial office for guidance on language editing options. Authors may use any reputable editing service and should submit the final edited version to IIIJ.
Selecting an Editing Service
Choose a professional editing service with experience in scientific manuscripts. Ensure that the editors understand terminology in laboratory, clinical, or computational research so that technical accuracy is preserved. Ask about subject matter expertise before committing.
Confidentiality and Data Security
Only share manuscripts with trusted providers who follow confidentiality standards. Remove sensitive identifiers if necessary. Maintaining confidentiality protects intellectual property and participant privacy. Use secure file transfer when possible.
Turnaround Planning
Plan editing well before submission deadlines, especially for special issues. Allow sufficient time for revisions after editing to ensure the final manuscript reflects your intended scientific meaning.
Impact on Review
Clear language helps reviewers focus on the science rather than wording. Well edited manuscripts often move through peer review more efficiently and reduce requests for clarifying revisions.
Scientific Accuracy
Editing should never change scientific meaning. Review your edited manuscript carefully to confirm that terminology, numerical values, and methodological details remain accurate. Authors remain responsible for the scientific content.
Clear writing strengthens science. Well edited manuscripts move through review faster and communicate results more effectively to global readers.
