When looking for an editor for your magazine article, consider what kind of editing or proofreading services you want or need. For example, are you interested in basic proofreading (for example, checking for typos or grammar errors)? Do you need editorial services (eg improvements to language, structure, organization, etc.)? Do you need a subject matter expert to provide a review of your content (for example, the thoroughness of your literature review, the accuracy of your statistical analyzes, or the acceptability of your conclusions)? With these options in mind, it can be helpful to know what exactly you are looking for in order to find the right editor for your article. For your editorial service and proofreading needs, it’s quick and easy to choose an Editor World professional to help you. While it can be beneficial to find an editor whose education or work experience aligns with your topic, almost any qualified editor can help you with your basic editing needs.

Once you decide on an editor, it never hurts to provide a copy of the journal’s publishing guidelines with your manuscript so that he or she can help you make sure your article meets all the requirements. These guidelines typically appear under a heading called “For Authors” or “Submit a Manuscript” on the journal website, and specify the journal’s preferred style guide, word count limitations, and formatting requirements, which Your editor can review to help you make your manuscript meet these expectations.

If you need a subject matter expert, take some time to explore Editor World’s wide range of professionals. Our editors have a variety of subject matter expertise, as well as academic publishing and publishing experience. Try going to the “Publishers” tab and then filter your search by clicking on the “Scholar” option before searching. If you have questions for one or more potential publishers, you can always send them a direct message via the website.

Journal article consultation services are notably more expensive than the services provided by Editor World, but could be a good option if you need a high level of technical, methodological, or subject matter expertise and cannot find an editor with a set of similar skills or experience. It may also be helpful to contact the editor-in-chief of the target journal, or even a fellow researcher or colleague, and ask for their recommendations in identifying an external reviewer. Whichever route you choose, make sure your manuscript is in the best possible shape when you submit it to the journal for review. An academic article full of typos or bad grammar automatically loses credibility, even if the findings are valuable.
