What is scientific editing?

Scientific editing is basically a thorough evaluation of the scientific rigor of the manuscript. A scientific editor is a native English speaker with an impressive track record of publications in international peer-reviewed journals of science, technology, medicine, and business.

Such an editor would not just be polishing the manuscript for English language errors, he or she would also be reviewing the scientific content of the document. Therefore, they would be pointing the errors involved in the experimental study design, biomedical statistics, results, and conclusion of the study.

Scientific editing is performed by technical reviewers with MS/PhD degrees. As they are native speakers of English, they will also rectify errors related to grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, word choice, and logical flow of ideas in the manuscript.

Harrisco is a leading academic company with a global network of 500 scientific editors. The steps involved in scientific editing include manuscript evaluation, a scientific review of the manuscript, and English editing services. Harrisco introduced scientific editing service through its premium brand named Quorum in 2017.

Quorum is a premium service that has helped most novice authors get thorough feedback on the scientific content of their manuscript. The research papers of authors are submitted to the system, which then recommends the services of three most appropriate reviewers.

The comments provided by reviewers are in simple academic English, and their main goal is to improve the chances of publication of the manuscript in many strict SCI journals.

Harrisco company requests all Asian researchers to not just avail of English editing services but also scientific editing services. The scientific reviewers are usually post-doctoral researchers from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The reviewers suggested by Quorum’s system are quite genuine as the system follows a double-blind system of peer review. This implies that the names of authors and reviewers are not known to either of the two parties. Thus, the chances of bias based on nationality, race, and gender does not arise.

Quite often, scientific editing would also involve wordcount reduction of the Abstract as most English journals do not want more than 250 words. Moreover, a scientific paper must also fit within the wordcount limit of about 6000 words.

Harrisco takes great pride in letting its customer know of its cooperation with more than 200 universities and 500 academic societies. By availing the scientific editing services of Harrisco, authors can certainly increase their chances of publication in high impact journals.
