Nature : Scientists all over the world are increasingly turning to manuscript-editing services, writes Karen Kaplan for the journal Nature. Some authors hope to refine a paper before submitting it to a journal; others aim to correct problems that emerged in peer review. Besides correcting for grammar, spelling, and punctuation, some services can restructure the methodology, incorporate new data, and reformat a manuscript before submission. And as more papers are being submitted to English-language journals from such areas as China, India, the Middle East, and South America, the need for editing services that serve non-English-speaking authors is growing as well.
