Editing Services

In addition to training workshops, CHRU de Nancy also provided Scientific Editing and English Language Editing to their staff. This enabled the CHRU de Nancy researchers to submit both research and grant applications for expert reviews by Nature Portfolio editors using the same rigorous standards applied to our journals.

Over 180 manuscripts covering 45+ clinical fields have been
submitted for our Editing Services from CHRU de Nancy since 2022.

The CHRU de Nancy researchers had access to two types of editing services: Scientific Editing and English Language Editing.

Scientific Editing provided detailed feedback and edits on the effectiveness and clarity of the writing, with reviewers specifically matched to each paper’s research focus.

English Language Editing focused on improving written English, including spelling, grammar corrections, as well as improving style and phrasing.

The insightful presentations and comprehensive sessions provided our researchers with invaluable knowledge, significantly enhancing their skills and perspectives. We also appreciate the scientific editors and the entire Nature team for their dedication and hard work in organizing the seminars. We look forward to future collaborations and opportunities to engage with the esteemed team.
