Armstrong-Hilton: Communication & Development

Journal publication is critical to any successful researcher’s career, and we are here to ensure that your ideas receive the recognition they deserve.

We edit journal papers in two stages – by a subject specialist and a language editor – to ensure excellent quality. After that, you also have the option of revising the paper according to the specialist’s comments and then resubmitting it for a quick final check of your revisions, subject to a small surcharge.

Subject Specialist + Language Editor
Your manuscript is reviewed by a subject specialist to ensure compliance with the stylistic, result-reporting and referencing conventions of your field, followed by a language specialist who focuses on general linguistic and stylistic issues to enhance the overall readability.

Flexibility to Meet your Deadline
We schedule and commence editing work 362 days a year, and offer a number of return options to suit all schedules, with papers of up to 8,000 words edited overnight when necessary.



Quality Guarantee
We guarantee that if a manuscript remains unaltered after our editing, but is rejected by a journal on English language grounds alone, we will provide a re-edit free of charge.

Extra Services

Formatting
We are happy to conform to any of the various formatting requirements for our clients. Adhering to the APA or Chicago Manual of Style requires 20% additional time (and an equivalent surcharge), while adhering to specific journal guides requires 30% additional time (thus an equivalent surcharge).
Editor Report
The Editor’s Report is available for a flat fee for those who would like to improve their writing. This report outlines the key grammatical and stylistic areas of your writing that would benefit from improvement in future.


Editing Certificate
Provided free-of-charge when requested, you can use the Editing Certificate to prove that your document has been edited by a professional English language editing service.




File Types

We can edit in all file types, including Word, LaTex and PDF. However, editing is much more efficient if we can use a Word or LaTex file. This allows us to edit electronically, rather than by hand. If we work with a PDF, then we must print the document and hand write the edits, making it much more difficult for you to incorporate the changes.

If you have the LaTex (.tex) file, we can open that in Word and edit it using the “Track Changes” function. We will be careful not to touch any of the LaTex code, meaning that you can copy the finalised document back into your LaTex editor.

Of course, if you would prefer not to send the Word or LaTex file, we can work on the printed PDF instead.

We are also open to discussing discounts based on contracted volumes or sole editor arrangements for departments, faculties, research centres and administrative units.
