• 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)
  <6000	400.00
  From  6001 to 10,000	600.00
  >10,000	Please contact the Editorial Office for quote

  Please note, use of the editing service provided by the Pivot editorial office is NOT compulsory for publication in any Pivot journals, nor does it imply any preference or guarantee of publication in the journals.
