Language Editing Services

The European Journal of Veterinary Sciences welcomes submissions from authors worldwide. We understand that English may not be your first language, and we want to ensure your research is presented clearly and effectively.

Why Language Editing Matters

Clear, well-written manuscripts:

• Are easier for reviewers to evaluate fairly
• Are more likely to receive favorable peer review outcomes
• Reach a wider audience after publication
• Accurately convey your research findings

When to Consider Language Editing

You may benefit from professional language editing if:

• English is not your first language
• Reviewers have previously commented on language quality
• You want to ensure your manuscript meets journal standards
• You need help with scientific writing conventions in English

Recommended Services

EJVS does not endorse any specific language editing service, but the following providers are commonly used by our authors:

• Editage — editage.com
• American Journal Experts (AJE) — aje.com
• Enago — enago.com
• MDPI Author Services — mdpi.com/authors

What to Look For

When selecting a language editing service, consider:

1. Subject expertise — choose editors familiar with veterinary and biomedical science
2. Service level — standard editing for grammar/clarity vs. substantive editing for structure and flow
3. Turnaround time — plan for 3-7 business days for standard service
4. Certificate — some services provide editing certificates that can be submitted with your manuscript

Important Notes

• Language editing does not guarantee acceptance
• The editorial decision is based on scientific merit, not language quality
• Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their content after editing
• EJVS does not charge for language-related revisions during peer review

Tips for Non-Native English Speakers

1. Write in short, clear sentences
2. Use active voice where possible
3. Define abbreviations on first use
4. Follow the IMRaD structure consistently
5. Have a colleague review your draft before submission
6. Use reference management software for consistent formatting
