03
Specialist translation (including medical and technical)
Carried out by a translator educated and experienced in translating texts in a particular area. For example, for Polish to English medical/technical translations, the translator is likely to be a Polish native speaker who is a Doctor of Medicine, or PhD in a biomedical field. This service is recommend for complex academic texts with specialist vocabulary.
Note: after a specialist translation of an academic paper, we recommended the text is also proofread by a native speaker before sending it to an international journal for peer-review. This is because a translation, although accurate, may not have the stylistic flow of a native speaker, which is often required by editors and reviewers.

Journal formatting
Our team of experts excels in meticulously formatting manuscripts to match the unique requirements of specific journal’s. This includes references, citations, word limits, layouts, and minor changes needed to keep the text within the prescribed word limit. By entrusting us with your manuscript formatting, you can focus on the scientific content and leave the meticulous formatting work to us. This ensures that your manuscript stands out for its adherence to journal guidelines, increasing the chances of successful publication.
It’s important to note that our formatting service is distinct from full editing or proofreading. While we ensure that your manuscript aligns with the journal’s style and format, we do not engage in comprehensive language editing or extensive proofreading of the text.

Live workshops
We provide workshops and lectures on scientific writing. We have presented at the Nencki Institute (PAN, Warsaw), The International Medical Science Pulse Conference (Opole), Po Drugiej Stronie Lustra (University of Warsaw), and LocWorld 37 (Warsaw).

Plagiarism check
Make sure your text is original! We offer the possibility of a plagiarism check for journal publishers and institutes. This is a very important service for journal editors, which reduces the risk that the published manuscripts contain plagiarised text and provides increased assurance that the published studies will be genuinely novel work.
