Authors may wish to use a language-editing service before submission. Maney recommends that all non-native English-speaking authors ask a native English speaker or professional language-editing service to review their manuscript before submission. This is not mandatory but will help ensure that journal editors and reviewers fully understand the academic content of the paper.

 

 A number of language-editing services are available to authors:

The Charlesworth Group language-editing service.

The Charlesworth Group offers language-editing services in the Science, Technology, and Medical fields. Their website provides online submission and tracking of manuscripts, and support is available online or by telephone in Chinese or English.


Maney authors using this service will receive a 10% discount on language-polishing services. [Please use the above link, and the discount will be applied during payment].


Other language-editing services include:


• BioEdit Ltd
• Editage
• Medjadan
• SciTechEdit International
• SPi
• Textcheck

Pre-submission analysis and language-editing services include: 

• Amberwrite


If you wish to use one of these companies, please make contact and arrange payment with the company directly. 

 

Disclaimer
Please note that use of a language-editing service is not mandatory for submission, nor does it guarantee that your manuscript will be selected for peer review or accepted for publication. Nor is it compulsory for authors to submit an edited manuscript to a journal published by Maney.

Use of The Charlesworth Group language-polishing service, or any other editing service, is at the author’s own expense and risk. Maney cannot accept any responsibility or liability for any services provided.

Manuscript preparation guidelines:
 

Following editing, authors will need to ensure that their manuscript conforms to the journal preparation guidelines before submission.

Please consult the individual journal instructions for authors on the journal homepage for specific manuscript preparation guidelines. Alternatively, download general guidelines for our health science, humanities and social science, and materials science journals.  

Not all journals follow the general guidelines, and authors should always consult journal-specific instructions before submission.
