What is the difference between formatting and editing?
Our formatters do not perform language editing (correction of grammar, phrasing, and word choice errors). Instead, they ensure that your manuscript is in agreement with journal guidelines. This includes layout; font; spacing between sections and lines of text; citations and references; formatting of headings and a check to ensure that all required sections are present; title page check; checking of word count, image number, and reference number limits and noting overages; and ensuring appropriate placement of tables and figures.
My manuscript was previously formatted by AJE, but now I need to submit to a different journal. Can you re-format my manuscript for a new journal?
We do recommend that you have your paper formatted again when you submit your manuscript to a new journal, especially if they have different submission guidelines. If you previously ordered an Editing service with Formatting, you can create a new Manuscript Formatting order by using the re-edit link from the original order.
My manuscript contains tables. Do I need to order Figure Formatting?
You can add our Table Formatting service to any order if you would like us to prepare or format your tables. If you order language editing without formatting, we will edit any non-numeric text in your tables but will not review your journal’s guidelines or suggest any formatting changes.
