Language Editing Support

Clear writing improves peer review efficiency and reader comprehension. JPGR offers optional language editing guidance for authors who want to refine clarity, grammar, and scientific flow before submission.

Language support is independent from editorial decisions. The service helps present strong science effectively but does not influence acceptance outcomes.

What the Service Covers

• Grammar, clarity, and readability improvements
• Scientific tone and consistent terminology
• Formatting alignment with journal guidelines
• Reference style and citation consistency checks

What the Service Does Not Cover

Language editing does not change scientific conclusions, generate data, or rewrite methods. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of data, analyses, and interpretations.

The service also does not guarantee acceptance or override peer review outcomes.

When to Use Language Editing

Consider language editing if your manuscript includes complex multi-omics data, extensive methodology, or technical terminology that may be challenging for non native readers.

Clear language supports reviewers and reduces the need for revision cycles focused on clarity.

How to Request Support

Email the editorial office with your manuscript title, a short summary, and the support you need. The team will provide guidance on timing, scope, and expectations.

• Contact [email protected] before submission
• Share the manuscript or relevant sections
• Confirm timelines that fit your submission plans

Editing Workflow

Common Issues We See

• Inconsistent protein or gene nomenclature
• Unclear descriptions of methods or workflows
• Overly long sentences that reduce readability
• Missing definitions for abbreviations

Timeline Expectations

Language editing should be planned before submission to avoid delays. Share your expected submission date so the editorial office can advise on appropriate timing.

Complex manuscripts with large supplementary files may require additional review time.

Early planning keeps the submission schedule on track.

Timely edits reduce downstream revision cycles.

Formatting Checks

Editors can flag formatting issues that slow review, such as inconsistent headings or missing references. Addressing these early helps keep peer review focused on scientific content.

Consistent formatting also improves indexing readiness after acceptance.

Author Responsibilities

• Review all edits to confirm scientific meaning is preserved
• Ensure terminology aligns with domain standards
• Verify that references and figure labels remain accurate
• Update data statements if editing affects clarity

Coordination with Co-authors

Share the edited draft with co-authors before submission so terminology, dataset references, and conclusions remain accurate. Coordinated review reduces the need for later corrections.

Clear internal review also shortens the final revision cycle.
