The outsourcing of editing services has many practical advantages. Good
writing consumes large amounts of time, which is the single most precious
resource available to an academic. Frequently, the quality
of writing can be improved more quickly and easily by and editor who has not been directly involved in the research.
Outsourcing writing and editing tasks
increases the time available for other tasks such as the management of research projects, mentoring, reading the
scientific literature, developing grant proposals, or securing additional extramural funding.
A well-edited manuscript is more likely to be published
in a journal with a high impact factor. When errors of style and grammar are rare,
peer reviewers can focus on evaluating the novelty and significance of the
research.
