LANGUAGE EDITING
If English is not your first language, before submitting your manuscript you may wish to have it edited for language. This is by no means a mandatory step, but may help to ensure that the academic content of your paper is more fully understood by journal editors and reviewers. Language editing does not prejudice the decision concerning acceptance or rejection of your manuscript. If you would like information about one such service please click here. There are other specialist language editing companies that offer similar services and you can also use any of these. Authors bear any and all costs associated with such services.
