Copy editing (also copy-editing, copyediting) is the work that an editor does to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of text. Unlike general editing, copy editing might not involve changing the substance of the text. In iMedPub we copyedit your article before proofreading. At iMedPub we copyedit articles beautifully (see samples at Scribd).
Even before, you should ensure your manuscript meets all requirements including perfect language in writing. If you need professional services we recommend you submit your manuscript to Editage using the form below.
