At Stallard Scientific Editing, we aim to produce a final edited document that is written to the level of an expert native-English writer. In tandem with this goal, we respect the writing style of the author and only make changes where necessary.

Stallard Scientific Editing edita el documento para:

• Mejorar la amenidad general y el flujo del documento
• Corregir los errores gramaticales
• Corregir errores de ortografía y puntuación
• Comprobar que el estilo de calidad es constante a través del documento (por ejemplo, títulos, referencias, marcas de párrafo)
• Reescribir frases cuyo significado no es claro
• Hacer cambios para asegurar que el texto sea conciso

Tome nota por favor que no nos podemos ocupar de cambiar la estructura, el contenido, o la lógica científica del documento.

All documents are edited on-screen in Microsoft Word with the ‘Track Changes’ tool turned on (Tools >> Track changes). This enables the author to see and print out all of the changes made to the document. Comments to the author are highlighted in yellow, within square brackets.

Following editing, two files are returned to the author. The Edit1 file shows all changes made to your manuscript (see below), while in the Final1 file the changes have been accepted and only the edited text is visible. The author must carefully check the Final1 file to ensure that his/her meaning has been retained in the edited manuscript. If you have any questions regarding the changes made to the manuscript, please return the manuscript to us along with any queries to be answered (see our Ask-the-Editor Service); there is no additional charge for this service.

Our editing method is illustrated in the following example.

Note:
1. Inserted text is underlined and highlighted in blue.
2. Deleted text is highlighted in red and formatted as strikethrough (strikethrough).
3. Comments to the author are highlighted in yellow.
