MANY NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS HAVE GOTTEN THEIR RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN TOP-TIER JOURNALS. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
You've done great research. You've laboured for years and you know that you have the chance to publish in a top-tier journal. However, when you've submitted your manuscript for publication, you receive the dreaded rejection message from the journal editor:
​
"The level of English throughout your manuscript does not fulfil the standards of the journal. Please send your manuscript to be edited by a native English speaker or you may use our language-editing services. Please note, however, that the use of language-editing services does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted by the journal, which is a decision made at the sole discretion of the Editor."
​
Even worse, when you submit your thesis to your faculty, your thesis is rejected from examination because the language is incomprehensible. And you've already wasted money on printing copies of your thesis to be submitted to the faculty.
​
It's frustrating. I know. I've been editing and proofreading conference papers, journal articles, Master's theses, and PhD theses for more than 10 years, and I understand the frustration that you're going through.
​
Hi. My name is Nadia Abdullah, and I'm the academic editor behind The Golden Touch Language-Editing Service (TGTLES), based in Malaysia. I offer editing and proofreading services customized to your needs, specializing in Science and Engineering. The images in the gallery above are some samples of my work, and two of them are my own journal articles, which I edited and proofread myself. I understand that each manuscript is unique, and I intend to help you convey your message in the best way possible.
​
