New optional services for authors

This week Libertas Academica launched new optional new services for authors. These services are available to authors submitting to all of our open access journals. They are optional extras which allow authors to tailor the service they receive from Libertas Academica to their needs, and to avoid paying for services which aren't required.

Pre-review English copy editing:

This is recommended for authors who wish to have their English reviewed and revised by a native speaking technical editor. Peer reviewers may comment adversely on poor English particularly where it hinders clear communication of the underlying reasoning in a paper.

English copy editing is also available following peer review.

Pre-review reference correction:

Ensuring that references are correctly formatted to AMA standard can be cumbersome and time consuming. This service is particularly useful for authors who haven't the spare time to check reference formatting and those who are not fluent English speakers and are concerned that they might not apply reference formatting requirements correctly.

Post-review re-submission preparation:

Through our business partner, Libertas Academica offers a comprehensive revised manuscript preparation service. Our business partner operates a network of academics working in all areas we publish in. Experienced specialists will prepare a point-by-point response to reviewers' recommendations and make the changes to the manuscript. The revised submission is then sent back to the authors who resubmit it after reviewing the changes.

Where access to specific research material is required authors will be informed and may either transfer the material to the editor or choose to make the changes associated with the research material themselves.

Post-review rapid publication:

This is a useful service for authors who wish to have their article published as soon as possible after acceptance but prior to the commencement of typesetting.

Bound reprints:

Reprints are a great way to distribute your work to your colleagues or to share at meetings and conferences. We offer a range of presentation options and all reprints are centre-bound and produced using high-quality digital reprography.
