Services
From journal choice to the published article.
Use one service or all six. Every project starts with a free assessment and a written quote, and you remain the author throughout.
Journal selection
Most desk rejections come down to fit, not quality. We read your manuscript the way a handling editor would, then build a shortlist of journals whose aims and scope, article types and recent publications genuinely match your work.
What is included
- Indexing checked for every journal on the shortlist (SCIE, SSCI, ESCI or Scopus)
- Scope, article type and word-limit fit for each option
- Typical review times and acceptance practices, where journals publish them
- Publication fees and open access options laid out up front

Manuscript readiness review
Before anything is submitted, we review structure, completeness and presentation against the target journal’s expectations, and tell you plainly what needs attention.
What is included
- Title, abstract and keywords reviewed for clarity and discoverability
- Structure checked against the journal’s required sections
- Figures, tables and supplementary files checked for completeness
- Reference consistency and citation style checked

Formatting to author guidelines
Every journal has its own author guidelines, and small departures from them are a common reason for a manuscript to be returned before review. We handle them line by line.
What is included
- Journal template, headings, line numbering and layout
- Reference style converted and checked (APA, Vancouver, IEEE, Harvard and others)
- Figure resolution, file formats and table layout
- Word, abstract and keyword limits
Submission package and management
The submission system asks for far more than the manuscript. We prepare the whole package with you and manage the process from upload to confirmation.
What is included
- A tailored cover letter to the editor
- Author statements, conflict of interest, funding and ethics declarations
- Suggested reviewers and highlights, where the journal asks for them
- Submission tracking and status updates at every stage

Reviewer response support
A “major revision” decision is an invitation, not a rejection. We help you organise the comments, plan the revision and write a response letter editors find easy to assess.
What is included
- Every reviewer comment organised and mapped to a change
- A professional point-by-point response letter
- Tracked-changes and clean versions prepared to the journal’s rules
- Resubmission handled within the deadline

Post-acceptance support
Acceptance is not the last step. We help you through proof corrections, licence and copyright forms, and track the article until it is published online.
What is included
- Proof checking and correction lists
- Copyright, licence and open access forms
- Publication fee invoices explained, paid by you directly to the publisher
- Tracking through to the published article and DOI

Our boundaries
What we will never do.
Clear limits protect your work and your reputation. They are also why a submission we have helped prepare can be trusted.
- Write, ghostwrite or author research, or add our names to your paper.
- Alter, invent or manipulate data, results or images.
- Guarantee acceptance. Decisions belong to the journal’s editors and reviewers.
- Contact editors to influence decisions, or recommend journals without genuine peer review.
- Hide publication fees in our price. You pay those directly to the publisher.
