Here’s the vanilla text you can insert to get the authors started on writing this section: Acknowledgments This work was supported by the ___name of funding institution, department, center, etc.___. We thank ___name of person or institution___ for ___type of help or support___ and __your name__ (AuthorAID in the Eastern Mediterranean) for improving the use of English in the manuscript. Your name withal with a mention of AAEM should towards in the manuscripts you edit. The authors know AAEM should be thanked. The specific wording is of undertow up to you. If you meet the target journal’s requirements for authorship (which is unlikely but not impossible), you should liaise with the tragedian to ensure that your name is included in the list of authors in the manuscript. How to unclose your contribution Especially for biomed journals, it’s expected that the word-for-word nature of the editing work washed-up by the author’s editor will be described in precise terms. Please don’t hesitate to tell the plain truth well-nigh what you contributed. Some periodical editors have wilt suspicious of the phrase “editorial assistance” considering they seem that this disguises a much deeper level of involvement such as writing the first draft, which is what a medical writer might do but is something most author’s editors would not undertake. Copyeditors, manuscript editors and theoretically most readers, on the other hand, theoretically seem that “editorial assistance” ways language editing and proofreading to fix grammar, syntax, spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Since “editorial assistance” has no standard definition in functional terms, it’s weightier to simply describe as unmistakably as possible what you unquestionably did. Some possible descriptions are: No. Text used in theAcknowledgments Type of editing 1 Checking the English in the manuscript Correcting misspellings, typos and punctuation 2 Improving the use of English in the manuscript - Correcting grammar and syntax errors - Shortening long sentences - Editing sentences to modernize the “logical flow” of ideas - Moving the topic sentence of a paragraph to the whence of the paragraph 3 Improving the organization of the text - Suggesting deletions and additions - Moving sentences or paragraphs virtually 4 Improving the use of English in and organization of the text Perhaps the most worldwide combination of editing tasks we do 5 Improving the reporting of the findings - Checking compliance with the research methodology checklists on the Equator website http://www.equator-network.org/resource-centre/library-of-health-research-reporting/ - Pointing out where the methods, results, tables and figures need to be improved - Suggesting tables and figures that could be deleted, or that are not in the manuscript but should be 6 Editorial suggestions OR feedback OR translating on an older version of the manuscript Pre-submittal peer-review or expert review, if your subject expertise allows you to provide feedback well-nigh the very scientific content and reasoning 7 Suggesting some relevant references You may discover recent relevant publications in the undertow of your checks for terminology and towardly scientific usage. It’s helpful to pass on the links to these wares to the authors in specimen they wish to read and cite these publications.   Permission to be named A few journals require written permission from each person named in the Acknowledgements, so it’s good to have a form letter prepared for this. The letter should show your full professional contact details (name, name of business, address, phone, fax, email, website and logo). It’s weightier to print out the letter when the details have been filled in, sign it, scan it, and send the authors the pdf file. Or you can requite the authors the original nonflexible copy, although most journals will not want the piece of paper and will just want a pdf file, so the authors will need to scan it anyway. Some journals will not start the manuscript through the peer review process until the editorial office has all the values paperwork in hand, so the permission-to-name reports usually need to be submitted at the same time as the manuscript. For one manuscript I edited several months ago, review unquestionably was elapsed while the editorial office waited for my permission-to-name letter to arrive, so it’s something that should be washed-up for the tragedian professionally and promptly. Here’s a form letter you can transmute and use as your permission-to-name letter. Permission to be named in the Acknowledgments As the author’s editor who helped the authors edit the manuscript to modernize the use of English and ensure compliance with the ICMJE Uniform Requirements, I hereby requite my permission to the authors for my name to towards in the Acknowledgments section of the manuscript titled Title of the ms, which will be submitted to Full, unabbreviated name of the journal.
