Templeton Copy Editing

The mission of Templeton copy editing service

 

I will strive to have your manuscript be considered for publication solely on scientific merit, and not have the quality of the English writing compromise the peer-review. You will have personalized service with me alone, rather than a team of unknown copy editors, and thus you can be confident in the caliber of the submitted manuscript.

 

When your manuscript appears in print in an English language journal, you will know that the writing compares favorably with other articles in your field.
