Authors who are not native English speakers or teams that want to refine grammar, flow, and structure may benefit from editing. The service focuses on readability while preserving scientific accuracy and technical meaning.

Editing is particularly useful for manuscripts with complex field methods, multi site trials, or interdisciplinary collaboration.

• No changes to scientific results, analysis, or interpretation.
• No guarantee of acceptance or peer review outcome.
• No rewriting of methodology or experimental decisions.

Turnaround depends on manuscript length and complexity. Short communications generally require less time than full research articles or systematic reviews. The editorial office will confirm an estimated timeline once the request is reviewed.

All manuscripts submitted for language editing are treated as confidential. Files are used only for editing purposes and are not shared beyond the editorial or language support team.

• Complex statistical or multi site field studies.
• Manuscripts with extensive figure captions or technical terminology.
• Interdisciplinary teams with varied writing styles.
• Revisions that require improved clarity and organization.

Language editing is separate from peer review. Edited manuscripts still undergo standard editorial screening and external review. Strong language quality improves communication but does not guarantee acceptance.

Authors may request editing before initial submission or after receiving reviewer feedback. If you use editing support, note this in your cover letter so the editorial team understands the stage and context of the request.

Editing is most effective when combined with strong data reporting, clear tables, and transparent methods.

JF expects accurate reporting of methods, farm conditions, and outcomes. Editing improves readability but does not replace author responsibility for precision, ethics statements, or data availability disclosures.

Email the editorial office at [email protected] with your manuscript title, article type, and a short description of your needs. The team will provide guidance on timelines and next steps.

Clear language helps reviewers focus on scientific quality rather than grammar and improves reader comprehension for applied farming research. Well edited manuscripts often see faster review cycles and improved clarity for practical adoption.

Strong presentation can increase citations by making complex findings accessible to researchers, extension teams, and decision makers. Clear writing also reduces revision requests.
