Manuscript Editing for The New England Journal of Medicine Articles
Founded in 1812 in Boston, The New England Journal of Medicine took its present name in 1928. The Massachusetts Medical Society publishes it weekly through NEJM Group.
Original Articles report original clinical research in no more than 2,700 words, counted from introduction through discussion, with an abstract, up to five tables and figures, and up to 40 references. Manuscripts far over the limit are returned unread. Authors who meet ICMJE criteria are named, and trials include the protocol and statistical analysis plan. Statistical reporting guidelines apply, and presubmission inquiries and rapid review are available. Authors are asked not to discuss their submission publicly. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Our editors cut the paper to its word limit without losing the data. Submissions go through the NEJM online system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to The New England Journal of 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 The New England Journal of 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.
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 The New England Journal of Medicine.
The NEJM Author Center covers article types, limits, and submission. 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 The Lancet and JAMA.
