Research paper editing

Why do I need research paper editing? Aren’t AI and online submission tools good enough?

As a researcher, you can do a lot to improve the quality of your research paper, academic journal article, scientific manuscript or scholarly publication. To begin with, you can use a wide variety of software and online tools to check for grammar mistakes and improve the clarity of the text. However, the result you’ll get tends to be as good as the level of English you master. Thanks to AI, you can go a step further still and use online manuscript assessment and evaluation tools to prepare your research paper for publication. These provide cheap, fast and often detailed feedback. So, with all these tools available, why do you need your research paper editing?

The answer depends on how you respond to these two questions. Do you possess the knowledge and skills required to effectively use the online and AI feedback you received? Can you sort out any remaining contextual or idiomatic problems these tools failed to address? If these questions make you feel uncertain, you need a human academic editor. And, by the way, editing the English is the last thing we will do for you.
