Hello everyone,

I'm an assistant professor at a university and I've just completed a draft of a significant paper on novel catalysis methods. The submission deadline for my target journal (a top-tier chemistry publication) is rapidly approaching. My main concern is refining the language and flow to meet their incredibly high standards, especially since English is my second language.

I need a high-quality scientific manuscript editing service. I'm not just looking for proofreading, I need an editor with a deep STEM background who can check the clarity of my methodology and strengthen the impact of my discussion.

Which services have people used that provided actual substantive editing and subject-matter expertise? Was it worth the investment? Any specific companies or individual editors you would recommend (or caution against)? Few of my friends suggested me manuscriptwriters.com but I am bit hesitant trying a new company.

Thank you for any and all input!
