You need to present the very best version of your work to your target journal editors.
We provide comprehensive English language editing of manuscripts before submission to scientific journals at an affordable price. We help authors, including those who are not native English speakers (ESL authors):
Clearly convey their ideas and research with the written word
Improve their chances for acceptance in high-impact scientific journals
Peak Medical Editing’s editorial service includes substantive and ESL medical editing, copyediting/proofreading, plagiarism detection, reference checks, and AMA writing style tips from our native English-speaking medical editor.
Many other editing companies offer different levels of editing service, asking you to pay more for added quality and review. We believe that no amount of errors is acceptable before submission to your target journal, so all manuscripts undergo a comprehensive, constructive edit and review that includes substantive editing, proofreading, plagiarism detection, and proper reference formatting.
Everything we do is guided by our Core Values. We do not offer (nor do we condone) unethical publishing services such as ghostwriting, fraudulent and/or paid peer reviews, or "paper brokering." We do not recommend the engagement of such services.
We are a language editing service, pure and simple.
Our traditional service starts at $72, but expedited and rush services are available. Just select the option that best meets your needs.
Traditional Service (7 to 10 business days) timing is longer than other editing industry return times by design so we can offer a lower-than-industry cost editing service for authors who are not under urgent deadlines for submission. For more typical industry-standard return times, please see our Expedited and Rush services, which are priced appropriately with medical editing industry standards.
Peak Medical Editing, LLC was founded by John Essex, an award-winning medical writer, AMA style expert, and former Editor in Chief of two U.S.-based scientific journals—American Pharmaceutical Review and Pharmaceutical Outsourcing.
“It’s unfortunate that so many potentially helpful scientific manuscripts are rejected due to poor writing. Peak became the way for me to make a difference—both for those authors and the greater scientific community.”
John Essex, consulting editor and owner of Peak Medical Editing.
All edits are performed by John, our full-time medical editor. Several other editing services will outsource your document to a stable of part-time medical editors for a meager wage, asking them to find time in their busy schedules to attend to your manuscript when they have a moment.
Your research manuscript is our number one focus. Your draft receives diligent care and attention because our reputation depends on your success. In fact, you can get to know us by having your abstract edited completely free.
