A surcharge applies for medical-related texts. Click for more.

English editing of manuscripts and reports that contain terminology or concepts that are related to medical research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, hospitals, nursing, medical tourism and other similar fields will incur a 20% surcharge. The surcharge applies even where the focus of the research is not directly medical, such as medical tourism, healthcare management, hospital information systems.

This applies whenever the project manager feels that to achieve accurate usage of medical terms and concepts, an Editor with a strong medical background (who is also a native speaker of English) should work on the manuscript. This ensures accurate editing of terminology and concepts.

The Editor with a strong medical background will make sure that medical-related terminology and complex medical concepts are described accurately and as required for literature in your field of research, which allows readers to more easily understand your research.
