Five steps. No surprises.

You see the plan and the price before work begins, approve every file before it is submitted, and know where your manuscript stands at every stage.

  2. Plan and quote

    We track the manuscript through peer review, help you respond to reviewers, and support you through proofs until the article is published.

    Your input on revisions, as the author
    You receive
    Response letters, revision files and tracking

Timing

How long does it take?

We reply to every enquiry the same day. Your full manuscript assessment follows within 10–15 working days, and publication timelines are up to 90 days, subject to peer review and editorial approval.

Review times differ from journal to journal, so we give you a realistic estimate for every journal on your shortlist and choose journals whose review times fit your thesis, promotion or grant deadline.
