<font size=3>ENGLISH EDITORIAL SERVICES<br><br>
SERVICES<br>
We offer editing services for English language manuscripts written by
persons native to other languages. The service includes corrections
of spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and current usage. The
object is to turn manuscripts into smooth English that can be read
without hesitation. We are careful to preserve the original content
and are sensitive to the author's style.<br><br>
We specialize in technical manuscripts in the fields of geology,
paleontology, oceanography, systematic and evolutionary biology, and
ecology. However, texts in other academic and non-academic fields will
also be considered. If we find that a submitted manuscript is
outside our technical capability, it will be returned without
charge. <br><br>
We emphasize that this not a translation service. <br><br>
QUALIFICATIONS<br>
We are university-educated native English-language specialists directed
by a professional geologist/oceanographer with over ten years' tenure on
the editorial boards of several science journals. We have
considerable experience with editing text composed by colleagues native
to other European and Asian languages and are accustomed to recognizing
intended meanings when the English is less than perfect.<br><br>
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS<br>
Manuscripts in English may be submitted as word processing files by
e-mail or on CDs, or as paper hard copy. Unless otherwise
specified, manuscripts will be returned by the same method that they
arrived. Microsoft Word documents are normally processed with the
“Track Changes” option to enable manuscript comparisons.<br><br>
