Substantive Editing
Go beyond grammar and punctuation. Our Substantive Editing service enhances the logic, structure, and impact of your manuscript.
From a Good Paper to a Great One
A manuscript can be grammatically perfect but still lack the clarity, flow, and persuasive power needed to convince journal editors and reviewers. Major structural issues or unclear arguments are common reasons for rejection.
Substantive Editing, also known as developmental or content editing, addresses the foundation of your paper. Our expert editors, who are PhD-level specialists in your field, analyze the core elements of your work. They provide in-depth feedback and revisions to improve the overall narrative, strengthen your arguments, and ensure your research story is presented in the most compelling way possible.
