Does the journal I am submitting to provide English language support?

Modified on Fri, 12 Jul at 10:49 AM

Journals do not provide free language support prior to or during peer review. All accepted manuscripts will undergo light copyediting for minor errors and to ensure they follow journal style. However, journals do not provide developmental copyediting.
