About Editage

With one of the largest in-house editing teams in the world, Editage—a division of Cactus Communications.—is a leading global provider of language solutions and has extensive editing expertise across all genres of written communication. Our flagship service is manuscript editing. We have edited over 140,000 + academic papers for more than 33,000 + clients in 95 countries. In addition to English editing, Editage offers Publication Support services to researchers worldwide.

What is publication support and what do publication support managers do?

It is the aim of every researcher to get his/her paper published in a suitable journal. Getting a paper published is not simply an indicator of the quality of the research; it also has an element of prestige attached to it. However, a career in research today is more challenging than ever before, and a poor understanding of the publication cycle, journal requirements, and scientific writing conventions can lead to rejection of the manuscript by the journal. Over the course of nine years, Editage has garnered considerable experience related to the publication process, and today we have the capability and the expertise to offer end-to-end support to authors worldwide.

Our publication support managers combine expert subject knowledge with strong English writing skills and thorough knowledge of the publication process to offer a full range of services to meet authors’ publication needs. These services include helping authors select journals in which to publish their papers, preparing their manuscripts for submission, and helping them complete the journal submission process. Our Publication Support managers serve as a guide to authors and assist them in their endeavor to get their papers published
