Manuscript Editing for BMC Medicine Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Founded in 2003, BMC Medicine is the flagship medical journal of the BMC series, publishing influential research in all areas of clinical practice and translational medicine. Springer Nature publishes it fully open access, with an in-house chief editor in London.

Research articles carry no stated word limit, with an abstract of up to 350 words under Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and Trial registration, and three to ten keywords. References follow Vancouver style with MEDLINE abbreviations. Trials are registered prospectively, and a declarations section includes an availability of data and materials statement in prescribed wording. Word and LaTeX are accepted. Review is transparent, with reports published. An article processing charge applies. Our editors apply Vancouver style and bring the English to publishable standard. Submissions go through Springer Nature's portal.

Natural Intelligence for BMC Medicine

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way BMC Medicine's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a clinical researcher does, checking that each trial arm, outcome, and statistic is reported consistently. Track Changes stays on throughout.

Our Promise

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to BMC Medicine. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for BMC Medicine

We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.

Manuscript Copy Editing

Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.

Manuscript Line Editing

Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.

Manuscript Proofreading

Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to BMC Medicine.

Vancouver Style for BMC Medicine

Springer's submission guidelines cover abstracts, declarations, and references. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.

Our scientific editing services include medical copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and AMA and ICMJE citation formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read.
