About Med-Edit
Med-Edit is an editorial service for professionals who write about the life sciences, medicine, and health and want their work to appear in English language publications. Med-Edit is particularly useful for authors whose first language is not English. Every document received by Med-Edit is given the tender, loving editorial care it deserves to preserve accuracy and consistency while complying with the author guidelines of the publisher of your choice.
Your finished product will consist of one of the following:
(1) a Content Review you can use as a guide to revise your own document
(2) a carefully proofread document containing all of your updates
(3) a fully edited document checked for linguistic issues and compliance with author guidelines

Your Content Review
We're good at what we do--but we know our limits.
Having academic training in biomedical science does not make an editor a subject matter expert. When the meaning is unclear to us, we search the biomedical literature (e.g., PubMed) for answers. When necessary, we will send you specific queries that may help us revise the content for greater clarity.
At a minimum, we will check for the following:
-
Title: Does the title reflect the purpose of the project?
-
Abstract: Does the abstract summarize your hypothesis, methods, and outcomes adequately and provide at least one suggestion for further study?
-
Headings: Do the headings and subheadings accurately reflect the content that follows each?
-
Style - Technical: Have the author guidelines or style guide of the publication been followed consistently throughout? Alternatively, does the text follow the guidelines of the American Medical Association Manual of Style?
-
Style - General: Is technical terminology used correctly and consistently thoughout?
-
Language structure: Does the text adhere to standard rules of US grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization?
-
Clarity: Is the text syntactically clear?
-
Graphics: Are graphic elements labeled properly and presented in the correct order?
-
Patient sensitivity: Have patient sensitivity issues been addressed? For example:
-
Has the author avoided identifying patients by their disease?
-
Has the author avoided terms that suggest racism, ageism, sexism, or insensitivity to any culture or religion?
