If you are looking for a publisher for your scientific paper, please take a moment to first consider what kind of paper you have and what kind of editing service you need.

For any general scientific paper or report, you may want to simplify the language to make the information accessible to a broader audience of readers. If the document is difficult for the average person to read, your article may not get as many views. You can reduce the word count without altering or oversimplifying key information. You can also format your manuscript to fit the specifications of a particular publication, increasing your chances of acceptance for publication.
We recommend that you look for publishers whose experiences align most closely with your stated goals. For example, if you need help simplifying the language, you might consider an editor with teaching experience; after all, the main part of an instructor’s job is to take complex material, distill it, and pass it on to those with less knowledge and experience. Similarly, if you need to reduce word count or paraphrase specific sections, consider choosing an editor with academic or technical writing experience; Being concise and direct is vitally important in these areas. Finally, if you need to format your scientific paper for a particular publication’s guidelines, look for an editor with experience in scholarly publishing, which could include serving as lead editor for a journal, style editor for a journal book company, text or someone who has worked as a dissertation or thesis consultant at an institution of higher education.
The main takeaway from this short article is that when you’re looking for a publisher, the most important consideration is the result you ultimately want to achieve. Remember, editors are humans whose previous experiences, education, and world view influence how they view the world and the ways they approach a document. Also, while some editors are incredibly talented, no level of talent can turn one into a mind reader. So remember to clearly identify what your goals are and communicate them to your publisher, along with anything else that might be helpful, when you apply.
