The INC Team offer:
Proofreading and Editing of text written in English. Our editors
- correct grammar and modify vocabulary to improve the use of English
- read for meaning (terminology and logical flow) and suggest changes to reflect the intended meaning and improve readability
- rework to avoid plagiarism and self-plagiarism (ensuring that your manuscript passes the detectors applied as a pre-review filter by most journals), supporting intellectual integrity
- add human touches to text generated by AI, beyond what is offered by “humanisation algorithms” (tools that add human-like features, but in the end are just another computer)
- polish cover letters and point-by-point responses to editors, checking that authors show they have understood the comments received and sought to respond to them
- collaborate with authors (suggesting that they review our proposals using Microsoft’s Track Changes tool for Word and .diff or visual editors for LaTex, and clarify potentially ambiguous text) to prepare clear manuscripts that convey their key messages
- provide feedback to help authors improve their English.
Translation from Spanish to English (or vice versa) or French to English. Our translators and editors:
- avoid literal translations to convey the intended meaning in a natural way
- maintain (and even improve) internal consistency of terminology and logical flow
- ensure cultural adaptation and sensitivity
- work as a team, with native or bilingual translators collaborating with scientific editors who proofread text in their mother tongue and are also proficient in the source language to cross-check for accuracy
- consult the authors to clarify potential ambiguities and eliminate errata.
