• English Editing Charge

  Authors should prepare their manuscripts in accurate and understandable English, which permits editors and reviewers to evaluate the scientific quality of the research. Pivot journals encourage authors who may not be proficient in technical English writing to seek help from a colleague who is a native English speaker, or from a professional editing service provider, before submitting their manuscripts.

  If authors choose this service from Pivot editorial office, there is an English editing fee:

  Word count per manuscript	Fee (CAD)
  <3000	300.00
  From  3001 to 6,000	500.00
  From  6001 to 10,000	700.00
  From  10,001 to 15,000	950.00
  From  15,001 to 20,000	1,200.00
  From  20,001 to 30,000	1,650.00

  Please contact the Editorial Office for the service order.

  Use of the English editing service is entirely optional and independent of the editorial and peer review process. Choosing or declining this service has no influence on editorial decisions, peer review, acceptance, or publication.
