Testimonials

Bruno Ricardo Barreto Pires

MD | ONCOLOGY

"I am very pleased with AJE's English editing service. I have used this service in all my publications, and I am excited to use it again. I can say that AJE's work is critical because the review identifies errors that are not obvious to those who have English as a second language. The team is accessible throughout the review process, has a high level of technicality and professionalism, so I acknowledge AJE's merit for significantly improving the quality of my manuscripts. I highly recommend their services"

Gangxiong Wu

PHD | ENGINEERING

"When I used to submit papers to SCI top journals (although I repeatedly modified them many times) I still worried about my English professional proficiency. I searched the Internet for a common English-language retouching service. After comparison, I found that AJE is the best. On the one hand, they are real native English speakers; in addition, they are fair and reasonable. They are also very professional and efficient. The editor carefully revised and changed my grammar and spelling mistakes in detail, and modified some of my expressions to make it more professional. After the revision, the paper was much smoother to read, and I learned a lot about writing in English. Sure enough, my paper was successfully accepted by top journal the first time I submitted with the help of AJE. I am especially grateful to the AJE team members for their help."

What Customers Say

English Language Editing | Silver They are very quick. The manuscript was modified with high quality. The editors were excellent and well understood what my paper focuses. I have used this service twice and will suggest my colleagues to use it. -X. Ren · China

Scientific Editing I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your work. You did really an excellent job. What I liked in particular was that you gave comments with substantial suggestions how to improve. Although I have published till now quite a number of scientific papers (>300) and many of them in high impact journals I learned a lot throughout this. -Full Professor · University of Bayreuth · Germany

AJE Academic Translation American Journal Experts are very quick, have a very good price and do an excellent job. I have proved many companies of translation and this is one of the best. I think the journals reviewers will never say us more that the English of our manuscripts should be revised for a native! -David González-Cutre · Spain

English Language Editing | Gold The editing was perfect. The word choices and phrase constructions are exactly what I would like to use, but had no ability to do. They get the point of what you mean and write with precision and clarity. I recommend this for everyone. I tried only the gold level – it is much more than gold! -G. Volpato · Brazil

Scientific Editing Based on the comments provided by you and your colleagues, we substantially rewrote my manuscript in order to clarify the paper’s take home message for our audience. We then submitted the paper to The Journal of Experimental Medicine and it was sent out for review within two weeks. We just received comments back yesterday from the referees and they were overall very positive. My advisor and I found the comments provided by the Scientific Editing editors to be very insightful and helpful. I think the objective critiques enabled us to write a stronger paper that caught the eye of the editors at JEM and impressed the referees that reviewed the manuscript. -Research Fellow · UCLA · USA

AJE Services I had the pleasure to work with AJE working on my manuscript. They have done a great job and improved it substantially. Journal editor for the first time did not complain about language issues. I´m from Spain and my written English is not as would as I would like. They were really helpful. Thanks very much.
