There is a constant pressure for research community particularly in life sciences to 'Publish or Perish' which is to rapidly and continually publish ones academic work . The process of peer review decides whether the work gets published in an academic journal. University Grants Commission (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of Ph.D. Degree) regulations, 2009 has made it mandatory to have at least one research paper in peer reviewed journal before submission of thesis. However, writing an academic paper is not an easy task. In fact, it takes considerable amount of time and effort. It is observed that most of the non-native English speakers are unable to appropriately write manuscripts and research papers, which is a major cause of rejection in various international peer-review journals. The major flaws in these articles reported are as follows:
• Spelling and abbreviations
• Inappropriate capitalization and punctuation usage
• Repetitive information
• Use of colloquial language
• Literal translation of the native language to English
• Lack of correlation or connectivity among the paragraphs
• Improper citation styles
• Presentation of tables, graphs, figures etc.
• Scientific content
Even if the paper is accepted for revision with these flaws, limited time is given by the editors to submit the corrected form (typically one month). Thus correct editing and proofreading of any manuscript is of utmost necessity for publication in peer reviewed journals. Academic manuscript editing services can be a great help here. However, these services comes with a huge price tag which becomes practically impossible for student community to afford it.
