§ 01 — Services

The manuscript comes back better. Provably.

Every engagement runs the same way: macros sweep the mechanical errors, an editor makes the calls, and you receive tracked changes with a log of every intervention.

/01

Reference & citation cleanup

From 48 hours · any citation style

The reference list is where reviewers lose patience first. We rebuild it entry by entry against the target journal’s style, then reconcile it with every in-text citation.

  • Conversion to APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago +5
  • DOI & PubMed verification, entry by entry
  • Orphan & duplicate detection
  • In-text ↔ list reconciliation
  • Formatted to the target journal’s template
  • Full change log with every delivery
/02

Human copyediting

From 72 hours · STM & HSS editors

After the macros clear the mechanical layer, a subject-matched editor works the prose line by line — clarity, logic, usage, and the target journal’s conventions.

  • Line-by-line human edit, tracked throughout
  • Grammar, usage & clarity for non-native authors
  • Journal house style enforced
  • Author query memo with every return
  • Two review rounds included
  • Language-editing certificate, disclosure-ready
/03

Training & workshops

Cohorts of 6–20 · live, remote

For journals, labs, and freelance editors who want the workflow in-house. We teach the macro library, the checklists, and — more importantly — when to overrule them.

  • Four live sessions of two hours
  • Macro library license for the team
  • Custom style sheet, built with you
  • Editor certification on completion
  • Monthly office hours for a year
  • The Edmacro team playbook
/04

Custom macro development

Scoped builds · VBA, Office JS, Apps Script

Your house style, compiled. From a one-off cleanup routine to a full production add-in, we build the tooling to your spec — then document it, hand it over, and keep it running.

  • Word add-ins in VBA & Office JS
  • Google Docs routines in Apps Script
  • Style-rule engines from your style sheet
  • Regex libraries for your templates
  • Documentation & source handover
  • Twelve months of maintenance included
/05

Workflow automation & integrations

APIs & pipelines · for journals & publishers

We wire the production desk together: batch pipelines and integrations that move manuscripts through mechanical checks automatically, with a report at every stage.

  • Crossref, PubMed & ORCID API checks
  • Batch processing for backlogs
  • Manuscript consistency pipelines
  • Reference database sync
  • Throughput & error reporting
/06

LaTeX & technical formatting

From 48 hours · math- & code-heavy work

Manuscripts written in LaTeX stay in LaTeX. We work natively in Overleaf and plain source — the file you get back compiles the first time, to the journal’s class file.

  • BibTeX / BibLaTeX cleanup
  • Journal class-file compliance
  • Equation & SI-unit formatting
  • Overleaf collaboration or plain source
  • Code listings & algorithm blocks
  • Figure & table typesetting
/07

Software & code editing

From 72 hours · Python, R, notebooks

The paper’s code deserves the same edit as its prose. We edit software programs and their documentation — never their logic — so a stranger can read, run, and trust them.

  • Docstrings & inline comments
  • README & API documentation
  • Jupyter & Quarto notebook narrative
  • Naming & style-guide consistency
  • Error-message & UI-string copyedit
  • Reproducibility read-through

How every job runs

Step 1

Intake

Send the manuscript and target journal. Estimate within one business day.

Step 2

Macro pass

The library sweeps references, punctuation, callouts, and house style.

Step 3

Human edit

A subject-matched editor works the prose and rules on every flag.

Step 4

Proof & return

Tracked changes, query memo, change log — and two rounds of follow-up.

Where we draw the line

Editing, never authorship.

Edmacro is not a writing service — no drafting, no ghostwriting, no generated content, no data. We edit the language, mechanics, formatting, and documentation of what you wrote.

Every change, reversible.

All work returns as tracked changes with a macro log — the author reviews, accepts, or rejects each edit. Nothing is silent.

Policy-aligned by design.

Our scope follows COPE guidance and institutional IP policies, with a disclosure-ready certificate describing exactly what we did.

Send us the manuscript. We’ll send back a plan.
