We edit every document in 4 key areas:

  • Substantive medical editing
    When needed, we will rewrite sentences, eliminate redundancies, restructure paragraphs, condense materials, remove jargon, check your nomenclature and usage, and otherwise ensure that your manuscript clearly and effectively presents its information to your intended audience. (read more)
  • Medical copyediting and proofreading
    We edit every manuscript so that it meets the stylistic requirements of the American Medical Association. We edit for sense, style, preferred usage, and correct grammar. We eliminate jargon. We change words to ensure consistency in tense and format. And we edit for proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. (read more)
  • Formatting
    We will format the abstract, references, text, Tables, Figures, and legends so that they conform to the journal's instructions to authors or to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. (read more)
  • Reference accuracy
    At The Medical Editor, we ensure the accuracy of your Reference section by verifying each reference at the National Library of Medicine. And if we can’t determine the accuracy of a reference at PubMed, we’ll contact the journal or we’ll use another database. (read more)
