Editage Review: Services, Pricing and Editage Plus

Since its launch in April 2002, Editage—a division of Cactus Communications—has been on a mission to speed up global scientific research communication. We’re all about understanding what our authors need and helping researchers break through geographic and language barriers to get their work published in top journals. We’re also big on ethical publishing practices, proudly following the guidelines of industry groups like the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). 

With one of the largest in-house editing teams in the business—over 2,000 native English editors covering 1,100+ subjects—we’re dedicated to delivering top-notch services to the academic, publishing, and pharmaceutical sectors. And with more BELS-certified (Board of Editors in the Life Sciences) and CMPP-certified (Certified Medical Publication Professional) editors and writers than any other company, we’re setting the standard for excellence.
