Manuscript editing services USA

Who this USA editing page is for

This page is for faculty, postdocs, clinicians, PhD candidates and industry researchers in the United States who want English editing before journal submission or after peer review. If you want the general service description without a USA focus, see manuscript editing and proofreading. Medical and clinical authors may also want medical manuscript editing.

What manuscript editing includes

• Grammar, spelling, punctuation and academic word choice.
• Clarity, logic flow and consistency of terminology.
• Tone suitable for international peer-reviewed journals.
• Tracked changes in Word (comments on LaTeX or PDF when needed).
• Optional alignment with a named journal's author guidelines (formatting support, not rewriting your science).

You accept or reject every change. You remain the author and corresponding author.

What we never do

• Ghostwrite manuscripts, theses or reviewer responses.
• Add data, analyses, results, experiments or citations you did not supply.
• Guarantee peer review, indexing or acceptance.
• Claim affiliation with universities, NIH, publishers, Scopus, Clarivate or COPE.

How the process works for USA clients

1. Free assessment. Send the manuscript (or a sample), your field, target journal if any, and deadline.
2. Written quote. Custom quote by word count, field and deadline. Turnaround is agreed in the quote.
3. Editing. A field-matched editor from the On Time Publication Editorial Team edits your file.
4. Your review. You approve the final text.
5. Optional next steps. Journal shortlist of 3, submission packaging, or response to reviewers editing after peer review. See journal submission support.

Files are confidential; we sign an NDA on request. Clients receive free revision and resubmission support until publication as editorial support, not as a promise of acceptance.

USA researchers and international journals

Many US authors target journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science collections or PubMed/MEDLINE. We can help you check scope fit and verify indexing claims on the day using the publisher's stated sources. We do not control those databases and we do not promise that a journal will remain indexed. For predatory-journal warning signs, read our predatory journals guide.
