Will I have access to my editor?

Yes. We offer a personalized, rather than a remote, service. As your partner in publication development, we are available to answer your questions throughout the editorial process. We expect to work with you!

How will changes be made, and what if I don’t like them?

We use Microsoft Word’s “Track Changes” to make editorial suggestions and you are the final decision maker. You do not have to accept any of our recommendations.

How do I know which service my paper needs?

Use the comparison table checklist to self-assess the needs of your paper. Or contact us with your questions. We'll recommend the right service for you.

Does JournalReadyUSA guarantee that my paper will be published?

No. Getting published relies on two things: (1) the quality of your research (that’s your job!) and (2) the quality of presentation of your paper (that’s our job!). Once we’ve spruced up your paper, you can rest assured that your chances of having a paper accepted for publication are greatly improved.

I need to “chop down” my paper without sacrificing any quality or anything of importance. Can you help me with that?

Yes. Timber! “Chopping down” or “word reduction” is a task we love, making your communication more cogent and more efficient.

What sorts of styles do you work with?

We work with APA, MLA, Chicago, AMA, and Vancouver, just to name a few.

What other services does JournalReadyUSA provide?

JournalReadyUSA edits many types of writing, including dissertations and theses, fiction manuscripts, white papers, concept development proposals, policy documents, handbooks and workbooks, curricula, web copy, grants, scripts, e-learning, and screenplays, just to name a few. For more information about projects of this type, please contact us.

JournalReadyUSA editors are also experienced writers with extensive portfolios. If you need custom writing, please contact us.

My document is more than 9000 words and/or English is not my first language. What should I do?

In these situations, automated estimates cannot be generated. Contact us for a customized estimate and more information.

How firm is the auto-estimate?

In general, the auto-estimate (part of the Submit your Document form) accurately reflects about 90% of all papers’ prices. However, occasionally, some up-and-down adjustments in price must be made for a small number of papers. All variations from the estimate are explained on a detailed invoice.

(Examples of price changes include adjustments for selection of incorrect service, for an excessive number of tables and figures, or for efforts necessary to coordinate the work of multiple authors simultaneously, etc.).

What quality check does JournalReadyUSA offer?

Each project is reviewed by two sets of eyes: Both a lead editor and an associate editor will closely read and contribute to our editorial recommendations. In this way, your project is guaranteed to receive the extensive review it deserves.
