Language Editing ServiceInternational Journal of Neuroinformatics
Clear communication strengthens scientific impact. IJNN encourages authors to use language editing when needed to improve grammar, flow, and readability before peer review.
When to Use Language Editing
Language editing is recommended for authors who want to improve clarity, structure, or readability before submission. It is especially helpful for interdisciplinary teams and authors writing in English as a second language.
Multi author manuscripts often benefit from a consistent tone and terminology. This improves reviewer confidence overall.
Editing improves presentation but does not change scientific content or guarantee acceptance. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of data, methods, and conclusions.
Early editing can reduce revision cycles and speed publication by making manuscripts easier to evaluate.
Editing Benefits
- Clearer grammar and sentence flow
- Improved readability for reviewers
- Consistent neuroinformatics terminology
- Stronger structure and transitions
- Reduced revision cycles
- Better translation of complex results
What the Service Includes
Grammar and Style
Corrections for grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure with consistent academic style.
Clarity and Flow
Improved transitions, concise phrasing, and clearer presentation of key findings.
Terminology Consistency
Standardized use of neuroinformatics terms, abbreviations, and measurement units.
Formatting Guidance
Alignment with journal structure, headings, and manuscript organization.
Figure and Table Captions
Refinement of captions so visuals are interpretable without extra text.
Reviewer Readiness
Improved readability to help reviewers focus on scientific merit.
Common Issues We Address
Complex neuroinformatics manuscripts often contain long sentences, inconsistent naming, or unclear methods. Editing helps clarify these issues while preserving scientific meaning.
We also help improve structured abstracts, describe results clearly, and ensure that methods and data sources are described consistently across sections.
Typical Improvements
- Simplified sentence structure
- Consistent neuroinformatics terminology and ontology labels
- Clear methods descriptions
- Improved abstract structure
- Standardized units and abbreviations
- Stronger results interpretation
Important Notes
Language editing is optional and does not influence editorial decisions. Scientific rigor remains the primary basis for acceptance.
Authors may use any editing provider. Use of a service is not required for submission.
Editing improves readability but does not affect peer review outcomes.
Editing fees are separate from APCs and are quoted based on manuscript length.
Turnaround varies by manuscript length and complexity. Plan ahead for deadlines.
