Features of ESE

English Science Editing offers a professional editing service to scientists, clinicians, and engineers, with a focus on nonnative English speakers. We specialize in the editing of scientific manuscripts before they are submitted for publication in the peer-reviewed literature, ensuring that both the standard of English and, most importantly, the scientific information presented in each document reach the levels expected of a native-English-speaking expert scientist. This means that editors and referees will be able to focus on the scientific content of the document without having their judgment distracted by confusing or inaccurate English usage, or nonsensical content such as that introduced by the use of algorithmic tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT.

Using our service will markedly improve the readability of the scientific content of your manuscript from the perspective of the expert scientists who will be reading it. This will facilitate the dissemination of your work (via increased citations) and increase the influence that it has in the scientific literature. If you have used AI at any stage in the production of your manuscript, using our service will avoid these readers (perhaps subliminally) forming negative opinions about your work due to unique characteristics of the prose generated using LLMs that are detectable by many scientists, and especially native English speakers.

English Science Editing ensures that nonnative English speakers are placed on an equal footing with native English speakers in the publication process. Most of our work involves scientific manuscripts that are intended for journals or books, but we also edit academic theses and textbooks, grant applications, letters of correspondence, and referee reports and rebuttals. In addition, we edit documents on topics in which the scientific content is ancillary, in fields such as politics, economics, and education.
