Pre-Submission Editing
INFORMS does not require that manuscripts be reviewed by professional editors prior to submission; however, a review may be encouraged by a journal's editor-in-chief, particularly for manuscripts written by authors for whom English is not the primary language. Professional “language polishing” can be used to improve the grammar, syntax, and flow of manuscripts prior to submission to an INFORMS journal.
INFORMS has no connection or any reciprocal financial arrangements with any of these services. These are referrals only. Authors understand that these services are completely independent of INFORMS and the peer-review and editing process.
