Editing & Proofreading Services | Knowing the difference
Many researchers don't realize that editing services, proofreading services, and copyediting all provide distinct offerings. It is important for you, as the prospective client, to understand these differences, based on your unique needs and budget.
Editing Services
Comprehensive editing services entail basic corrections for spelling and grammar (copyediting), restructuring paragraphs, andchanging your text with the intent to present both optimal logic and flow and overall quality of your writing. When hiring an editor you are providing them the freedom to remove entire sentences or rewrite entire paragraphs. At Bioscience Advising, we provide editorial suggestions on any text that needs correction, and use "track changes" for your approval or rejection of each individual mark-up. Our primary goal is to apply our expertise and intuition to ensure your document makes sense (i.e., is "readable"), while minimizing the use of jargon, and clarifying any ambiguity.
Proofreading Service
A proofreading service edits your document strictly for spelling or grammar; consequentially that service can be quite inexpensive and underserving.
Bioscience Advising Advantage
Bioscience Advising goes greatly above and beyond spelling/grammar corrections as we also include:
- Paragraph Restructuring
- Readability for Logic and Flow
- Journal Formatting
- Evaluation of Scientific Content
Benefits of using an Editing Service
Editing services can provide greater confidence, security, quality, and improved credibility to your writings. Don’t risk rejection because of typographical errors, poor formatting, lack of "flow,' in or convoluted jargon!
With our experience in academia, including (but not limited to) cancer biology, epigenetics, pharmacology, and cell biology, our company is uniquely positioned to assist scholars in numerous biomedical research fields.
Bioscience Advising not only extensively edits your work, from a grammatical and "readability" stance, but will also suggest revisions involving overall structure, scientific logic, formatting, and content, presenting your work in the best possible light to its reviewers, to maximize your chance of publication in the peer-reviewed journal of your choice.

It is our goal, regardless of which level of service you choose, to deliver “reader-friendly” verbal/visual presentation and a concise, logical, and “well-flowing” narrative, to achieve the greatest likelihood of retaining the reviewer’s interest, endeavoring to generate enthusiasm for the proposed work.
Best of all, we offer a 25% discount for all first time customers.
