Yes, we also translate and edit manuscripts that authors have revised in accordance with comments received from peer reviewers and journal editors.

If we translated or edited the revised paper before it was submitted to the journal, our fees are greatly reduced for reading, making minor revisions, and checking logical flow in the areas of text we worked on previously.

To maximize the chance that the revised manuscript will be accepted on resubmission, the translator and/or editor will

(i) ensure your revisions are grammatically correct throughout;

(ii) ensure the logical flow is maintained around any newly added text by reading the entire manuscript as a whole;

if you send us your letter answering the reviewer comments (the "response letter"), your translator and/or editor will read the comments before starting your project.
