Medical Editing Services

From proofreading to in-depth developmental editing, we offer a full range of editing services for all kinds of medical, health care, and life sciences content. We edit preclinical (pharmacokinetics) and phase I to IV clinical trial studies. We also edit basic science papers, including original research manuscripts, review articles, book chapters, and grant proposals, among others. Our medical editors work with you to make sure that every modification and suggestion is clear.

““As I am a non-native English-speaking scientist, it is sometimes hard for me to get a text from a good to a really good state in a short period of time. I turn to Medit because they are fast, reliable, and they work with you. If something is not clear, they tell you why.” ”

— Professor Hans R. Schoeler, PhD, Department for Cell and Developmental Biology, Director, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, Muenster, Germany
