Manuscript Editing for Cureus Journal of Medical Science Articles
Cureus is a freely accessible, online-only medical journal covering more than 60 specialties, with every article peer reviewed. Springer Nature publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at the European Radiosurgery Center Munich.
Original articles allow up to ten authors and 30 references; case reports and technical reports allow five authors and 20 references. References are numbered in square brackets in order of first mention, with Index Medicus abbreviations and DOIs. The abstract runs no more than 3,500 characters, with five to ten keywords. House formatting uses no indented paragraphs or bulleted lists. Authors invite at least five reviewers, and two completed reviews are needed. Error-heavy submissions may be sent for paid editing before review. Our editors fix language and formatting before submission so the paper moves straight to review. Submissions go through the Cureus online system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Cureus Journal of Medical Science. 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 Cureus
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.
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.
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.
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 Cureus Journal of Medical Science.
The Cureus author guide covers article types, references, and formatting. 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. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Medicine and the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
