FAQs

Common questions, answered

01

In which format do I have to submit the images when ordering the Artwork Editing service?

Submit your images in their original, highest-quality source format , TIFF, EPS, PSD, PNG, AI, or high-resolution PDF are all acceptable. If your journal specifies a target format, tell us at order time and we'll convert to it as part of the editing.

02

What exactly does the proofreading service included with Manuscript Formatting do?

It's a basic proofreading pass focused on eliminating grammatical mistakes and typos that survive in the text after formatting. It's not a full copy edit or substantive edit , those are separate services , but it catches the language slip-ups that would otherwise make the formatted page look unpolished.

03

What information do I need to provide?

Your complete manuscript with the artwork files, your target journal's name, and its Instructions to Authors (or submission guidelines). If you don't have a target journal yet, let us know and we'll format to a widely accepted default style.

04

How do I revise my figures once they have been formatted?

Simply send us your revised figures with a note about what changed. If the journal later requests further adjustments to the same figure, we provide unlimited artwork re-editing for the same journal within 365 days as part of our after-sales support.

05

Can you create new images or figures for me?

Artwork Editing focuses on technical compliance , resolution, colour model, size, and format , for the images you provide. If you need new figures designed from data or from scratch, contact us and we'll scope it as a separate service.

Ready to submit a journal-compliant manuscript?
