In short: On Time Publication edits the systematic review (or related evidence-synthesis manuscript) you drafted — structure, clarity and PRISMA-aware wording — while your team keeps searching, screening and synthesis. From £0.065 / word (GBP) on the substantive line; clinical reviews may use the medical line from £0.05 / word when that fits. Guide “from” prices are in GBP. Your final written quote depends on length, field and turnaround. Journal APCs (if any) are paid by you to the publisher and are not included in our fee. We do not guarantee acceptance or indexing. Free how-to sibling: how to publish a systematic review. Not statistical analysis.

How to publish a systematic review covers protocol registration, PRISMA 2020 expectations and process. This page is the paid editing service for a draft you already have. We cross-link both so each owns its intent: education versus manuscript editing.
PRISMA item coverage is audited on reporting checklist review. That page and this one can be bundled. Neither claims statistical re-analysis or statistician sign-off. If reviewers ask for new meta-analytic models, that work stays with your statistician; we help you describe what you actually did.
Thesis-shaped literature dumps, methods that omit full search strategies, results that mix study-level and synthesis-level claims, and discussions that over-generalise low-certainty evidence. When architecture is the issue, start with developmental editing or manuscript restructuring, then a language pass on the settled skeleton.
Authors often paste screening numbers that no longer match the PRISMA flow after a late database update. We reconcile captions and in-text counts against the figure you supply; we do not invent excluded-study reasons you never recorded. Keep a living log of search updates so the next revision cycle is cheaper.
Certainty language is another frequent edit. Soften absolute claims when the included evidence is sparse, outdated or high-risk-of-bias. That is wording discipline — not a substitute for a formal GRADE exercise your team may still need to run.
Edition and quartile labels do not pay APCs. Budget with publication fees explained and open access journal selection. Submission packaging after the edit: formatting & referencing, cover letter editing and submission support. Packages from £450 when a bundled pathway fits — still no payment for acceptance.
UK article context: UK publication support. GCC authors: Saudi Arabia / GCC, UAE, Qatar. Student theses remain a different product under university proofreading rules.
Health-focused reviews often need medical manuscript editing terminology care and, for nursing venues, nursing manuscript editing. Case-series adjacent work is different from a full systematic review — do not force a case narrative into PRISMA clothing; see case report editing when the article type is a case.
Shortlist with journal selection, Scopus publication support or Web of Science publication support. Verify indexes on indexing checks. Edition choice context: ESCI/SSCI journal guide and definitions on SCI/SCIE/ESCI vs Scopus. Quartile selection process (no guarantees): Q1/Q2 journal selection guide. What quartiles mean: impact factor & quartiles.
Reviewers frequently request expanded search updates, risk-of-bias detail or clearer PRISMA alignment. Revise the manuscript here and answer point-by-point with reviewer response letter editing. Playbooks: major revisions, respond to reviewers, resubmit after rejection.
Guide “from” prices are in GBP. Your final written quote depends on length, field and turnaround. Journal APCs (if any) are paid by you to the publisher and are not included in our fee. We do not guarantee acceptance or indexing. Full approved list: pricing. Packages from £450. Protocol ethics cues: ethics statements. Consultant due diligence: choose a publication consultant. Country context: GCC, UK.
Reviews naturally cite densely. Overlap with your own protocol or prior thesis chapter should be disclosed and edited ethically via similarity report editing — never concealment.

Editing of the systematic review manuscript you wrote — structure, clarity, consistency and PRISMA-aware reporting language. You remain the author of searches, screening and synthesis.
The guide teaches how to plan and report a review. This service edits your drafted manuscript with tracked changes and a written quote.
From £0.065 / word (GBP) on the approved substantive editing line. Clinical reviews may be quoted on the medical line from £0.05 / word when that fits. Guide “from” prices are in GBP. Your final written quote depends on length, field and turnaround. Journal APCs (if any) are paid by you to the publisher and are not included in our fee. We do not guarantee acceptance or indexing.
No. Literature searching, screening and data extraction stay with your team. We edit the write-up and can flag missing reporting items.
No. We do not re-analyse datasets or claim statistician review. Reporting checklist review covers PRISMA item completeness separately.
We edit captions and check that numbers reconcile with the text. Pair with figure and table editing and reporting checklist review when needed.
No. Ghostwriting reviews is refused. You draft; we edit.
No. Journals decide. We make no acceptance or indexing guarantees.
Yes within capacity when you supply a drafted protocol. Register protocols on the appropriate registry yourself before claiming registration.
Yes within capacity. Medical manuscript editing may be combined when clinical clarity is the bottleneck.
We can edit those article types when you draft them; name the reporting guideline your target journal expects.
Draft review, PRISMA checklist if started, target journal, and any peer-review comments.
