Japanese Editing
Different levels of service, to meet your needs and budget
Japanese Editing
Most of our native-speaking editors have advanced degrees (e.g., MD, PhD, PharmD, MEng, MSc, and MA) or professional licenses and are published authors themselves. All are excellent writers, and you can request that a specific editor or proofreader handle your work. This ensures your manuscript will have the right 'look and feel' for readers in your specialist field.
To meet your needs and your budget, we offer different levels of editing service. Opt for our EXPRESS service if you are in a hurry.

Proofreading
- Your native proofreader will correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors and reword phrases that are unclear.
- Your proofreader will not remove redundancies, take extra steps to improve the overall readability of the manuscript, or comment on the text unless absolutely necessary—these improvements are made as part of our Comprehensive Editing service.
- You have the opportunity to clarify specific editorial changes with your proofreader during a free proof check before submission.
Recommended for authors who are largely proficient in writing up their research in Japanese and require the text to be "grammar-checked" only.
