Language Editing for Manuscripts Submitted by Non-Native Speakers of English

We will, with the right attitude and approach, cooperate with authors who are not native speakers of English so that they may successfully complete the final publication of their manuscripts. Quality control of a manuscript’s language is not negotiable with the Baishideng Publishing Group (BPG) nor any of its journals. The language of the manuscript must meet the requirements of academic publishing.

For manuscripts submitted by non-native speakers of English, the authors are required to provide a Language Editing Certificate from native English language editing companies or native English-speaking biomedical scholars which will serve to verify that the language of the manuscript has reached Grade A. Before the manuscript is finally published, the language of the manuscript must also pass proofreading assessment by an English language editor who will be designated at the discretion of the journal’s editorial office.

We strongly recommend that authors use language editing services provided by the following biomedical editing companies, based on their good reputation and reliable quality. Or the authors may invite other native English language editing companies or native English-speaking biomedical scholars to polish their manuscript.
