It is critical that this research can be read and understood clearly, so that no finding is left behind because of the language barrier. Bioedit was founded in 2001 with the goal of using those skills we can offer, as both scientists who can understand this work and skilled editors who can articulate it, to help authors publish their results in the best English language journals and further the reach of their discoveries worldwide. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section "> <div class="slider" data-slider="tns" data-style="2"> <div class="slider__content"> <div class="slider__content__item-wrap"> <div class="slider__content__item-wrap__items" data-items> <div> <div> <div class="testimonial"> <div class="testimonial__quote">“Bioedit was founded because I saw first-hand the difficulties faced by researchers, my own colleagues, in getting their work published in English language journals.

Based in Manchester, UK, our dedicated team of researchers and English language specialists offer unrivalled experience, not only in what it takes to critique, develop, and polish a scientific text, but also in the rigours of the publication process. With the benefit of this knowledge, we can help spot potential problems during peer review, answer your questions and give advice when you need it, and even help you to find the perfect journal to publish your findings in. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panes panes--reverse "> <div class="panes__pane"> <picture class="picture "> <img alt="" data-lazyTarget="true" data-src="/media/2rrd0afs/asset-1-100.jpg?{0}&quality=&mode=Pad&center=0.5,0.5&bgcolor=white" src="/images/placeholder.png" title="" /> </picture> </div> <div class="panes__pane"> <div class="content split-var "> <div class="title"> <h2 class="title__item title__item--0 set-h2">Understanding your needs</h2> </div> <div class="text-content cms"> <p>During our extensive time working with researchers, we've learned a few things along the way to help ensure your use of our services is stress-free and helpful.

We're particularly proud of this because of the value we place on growing long-term working partnerships with the researchers and labs who place their trust in us. Our PhD-qualified editors are paid for the time they spend on your work, not the number of pages they read, thus ensuring they can do a thorough, careful job, while being paid fairly for their expertise. Every manuscript we edit is checked a second time by our graduate proofreading team to maintain our high standards. We believe in doing things the right way.
