Pre-Submission Peer Review
Getting a paper published is a long process that can take several months and often involves extensive reviews and revisions. The SWERV core offers professional peer reviews on a manuscript with in-depth critiques focused on the soundness of study design, sufficiency of data analysis, and the reporting and presentation of the data. Our team members have served as reviewers for high-impact journals for several years and can provide expert feedback and constructive criticism tailored to your intended journal.
Revisions, Rebuttals, and Resubmission Support
Most manuscripts will require at least one revision before being accepted by a journal. Well-executed revisions and a clear and organized rebuttal can make a significant difference in the acceptance of a publication. Our team will identify essential revisions to address, help reorganize your figures and manuscript, and write a clear and thorough rebuttal addressing all of the reviewers concerns.
Submissions to new journals may require extensive reformatting of both the manuscript and the figures. We are experienced in handling significant changes in word limits, figure limits, and formatting style while still preserving the scientific content and integrity of the manuscript. In addition, we will make sure your text, references, and figure layouts are all formatted per the "instructions to author" guidelines for the new journal.
Final Formatting and Galley Proofs
Final formatting and galley proofs are the final review by the author before publication. Journals often require specific figure layouts, legend sizes, abbreviations, and stylistic changes before publication. These adjustments often require close attention to detail and a quick turnaround time. Prior to acceptance, authors may select this service to be handled by the SWERV core to ensure a smooth transition to publication.
