Editing is the Heart of Scholarly Publishing. Editing clarifies and improves the writing without changing the meaning of the article. We make sentence-level edits to sharpen the language and fix errors. Editing improves the clarity of your arguments to maximize impact and presented best possible form.

Every manuscript submitted to SvedbergOpen goes through three stages of editing.

Level 1 Editing

This is the preliminary stage and we will submit your work to Language Editors to correct any language errors.

Level 2 Editing

This is the main stage of the scientific editing process. It is performed by a subject expert editor who is selected specifically for his or her understanding of the subject within your paper. The subject expert editor examines all aspects of the document, edits and advice includes:

•    how well your argument reflects your central question or objective
•    the structure, clarity, flow and relative emphasis of the arguments
•    the description of your rationale, your methods and how your conclusions were derived
•    the presentation of context and of any objectively justifiable implications of the research
•    the clarity and suitability of your figures, tables and supplementary information
•    any sections that lack detail or are unnecessarily long

Level 3 Editing

This is the final stage of editing. In this stage the entire article is comprehensively edited by another subject expert editor. This editor examines the article again in detail and provides additional edits and feedback to ensure that our editing and advices are as useful as possible.
