How to Find Professional Magazine Article Editing Services
When looking for an editor for your journal article, consider what type of editing or proofreading services you want or need. For example, are you interested in basic proofreading (eg, checking for typos or grammatical errors)? Do you need editorial services (eg language enhancements, structure, organization, etc.)? Do you need a subject matter expert to provide a review of your content (for example, the thoroughness of your literature review, the accuracy of your statistical analyses, or the acceptability of your conclusions)? With these options in mind, it can be helpful to know what exactly you’re looking for in order to find the right editor for your article. For your proofreading and editorial service needs, it’s quick and easy to choose an Editor World professional to help you. While it may be beneficial to find an editor whose educational background or work experience aligns with your topic, almost any qualified editor can help you with your basic editing needs.
Once you choose an editor, it never hurts to provide a copy of the journal’s publication guidelines with your manuscript so that he or she can help you make sure your article meets all the requirements. These guidelines usually appear under a heading called “For Authors” or “Submitting a Manuscript” on the journal’s website, and specify the journal’s preferred style guide, word count limitations, and formatting requirements. that your editor can review to help you make your manuscript fit these expectations.
If you need a subject matter expert, take some time to explore Editor World’s wide range of professionals. Our editors have a range of subject matter expertise, as well as scholarly editing and publishing experience. Try going to the “Publishers” tab and then filter your search by clicking on the “Academic” option before searching. If you have questions for one or more potential publishers, you can always send them a direct message through the website.
Journal article consulting services are notably more expensive than the services provided by Editor World, but can be a good option if you need a high level of technical, methodological, or subject matter expertise and can’t find an editor with a set of similar skills or experience. It may also be helpful to contact the managing editor of your target journal, or even a researcher or colleague, and ask for their recommendations for identifying an external reviewer. Whichever route you choose, make sure your manuscript is in the best possible shape when you submit it to the journal for review. An academic article full of typos or bad grammar automatically loses credibility, even if the findings are valuable.
