Leapman offers a professional English language editing service to assist researchers in presenting their work with clarity, precision, and professionalism. This service supports the preparation of research manuscripts, grant proposals, theses, technical reports, and scholarly articles across all academic disciplines.
1. Language Editing Services
Leapman provides a comprehensive language editing service designed to enhance the overall quality, clarity, and flow of scientific writing.
The editing includes:
-
Correction of all fundamental errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax;
-
Rephrasing of awkward, confusing, or ambiguous sentences to improve clarity and professionalism;
-
Refinement of phrasing and style to enhance the overall coherence, readability, and academic tone of the manuscript;
-
Highlighting areas that may require further clarification or adjustment by the author;
-
Provision of a concise editorial summary outlining the major language improvements made.
This service focuses exclusively on improving the expression and presentation of the research, while preserving the integrity of the scientific content.
Please note: The service does not include substantive rewriting of research content, formatting to specific journal guidelines, or translation from another language into English. For document formatting or academic translation needs, please refer to Leapman’s Manuscript Formatting and Translation Services.
2. Subject-Specific Expertise
All documents submitted for language editing are assigned to editors with subject-specific expertise.
Leapman editors:
-
Hold or are completing advanced academic degrees (Master’s, Ph.D., or M.D.) in relevant fields;
-
Are affiliated with leading research institutions and universities;
-
Have received extensive training in academic editing and are continuously evaluated for quality and consistency.
By matching manuscripts to subject-expert editors, Leapman ensures that scientific terminology, methodological nuances, and disciplinary conventions are accurately and appropriately handled.
3. Quality Guarantee
Leapman is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial quality. We guarantee that if a manuscript edited through our service is rejected by a journal solely due to issues with English language quality—and if the author has incorporated our edits in good faith—we will provide one additional round of re-editing at no additional cost.
This guarantee does not apply to manuscripts that have undergone substantial rewriting or structural changes after our editing. Authors are therefore advised to submit the near-final version of their work for language editing.
4. Ethical Standards
Leapman’s editorial services adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure transparency and academic integrity:
-
The language editing service operates independently from Leapman’s editorial and publication processes.
-
Editors providing language services do not participate in peer review or editorial decisions for submitted manuscripts.
-
We do not guarantee publication outcomes or grant funding results.
-
We do not propose peer reviewers, modify substantive scientific content, restructure manuscripts extensively, ghostwrite, or introduce new research findings.
-
Our feedback on journal selection or positioning is offered solely as informal advice, without representing a prediction of editorial outcomes.
Authors seeking specific guidance on the editorial suitability of a manuscript should communicate directly with the respective journal.
5. Commitment to Ethical Practices
Leapman is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all services provided:
-
We do not support or engage in practices that violate research ethics or publication standards.
-
If concerns regarding ethical issues arise during editing (e.g., plagiarism, research misconduct), we will bring them to the attention of the submitting author in an appropriate manner.
-
Editors are trained to recognize and address ethical issues professionally and responsibly.
-
Internal processes are in place to monitor compliance with ethical guidelines, and corrective action is taken when necessary.
6. Confidentiality and Data Security
All documents submitted for editing are treated with strict confidentiality. Leapman employs secure systems and protocols to safeguard the privacy, integrity, and intellectual property of authors.
Manuscripts and related materials are not shared beyond those directly involved in the editing process. Authors can be assured that their work remains protected throughout and beyond the editorial engagement.
