Language Editing Service
Professional language support for non-native English authors in marine science.
Enhance Your Manuscript
IMSJ recognizes that exceptional marine research originates from scientists worldwide, many of whom are non-native English speakers. Our language editing service helps ensure your discoveries are communicated clearly and professionally.
Professional language editing improves manuscript clarity, grammar, and scientific expression without altering research content or conclusions. This service is particularly valuable for authors whose first language is not English.
Grammar Correction
Comprehensive editing for grammatical accuracy, syntax, and sentence structure throughout your manuscript.
Scientific Clarity
Refinement of technical language and scientific expression for clarity and precision in marine science contexts.
Style Consistency
Formatting and style adjustments ensuring consistency with IMSJ conventions and academic standards.
Recommendation: Consider language editing if English is not your first language, if reviewers have previously commented on language quality, or if you want to strengthen presentation before initial submission.
- Submit your manuscript for language editing review

Language editing does not guarantee acceptance. Editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, methodology, and significance to marine science. However, well-edited manuscripts often receive more favorable reviewer impressions.

We offer multiple editing levels to match manuscript needs. Basic editing addresses grammar and syntax, while comprehensive editing includes restructuring for clarity and scientific expression improvement. Premium services include formatting to IMSJ requirements and reference checking.
Standard editing turnaround is 5-7 business days for typical manuscript lengths. Rush services are available for submissions with urgent deadlines. Turnaround times vary based on manuscript length and editing level selected. Contact our office for specific timeline estimates.
All manuscripts submitted for language editing are treated as confidential. Editors sign confidentiality agreements and do not share or use manuscript content for any purpose beyond the contracted editing service. Your unpublished research remains protected throughout the editing process.
Our editing network includes specialists familiar with marine science terminology and conventions. Scientific editors with relevant backgrounds ensure technical accuracy alongside language improvement. Specify your research area when requesting editing services to enable appropriate editor matching for optimal results.
Authors may request editing support during revision stages to address language-related reviewer comments. Post-review editing focuses on specific passages flagged by reviewers while polishing overall manuscript presentation. This targeted approach can expedite successful revision completion.
Edited manuscripts undergo quality review before return to authors. If additional polish is needed, follow-up editing may be provided at no extra charge. Our goal is ensuring your marine research is communicated with maximum clarity and impact.
