American Journals

There are many reasons why you may want to get your manuscript published in an English journal. The United States is the leader in many industries, and the research sector reflects that. Some of the most prestigious journals in the world come from American publishers, such as the New England Journal of Medicine or Science Magazine.

But don’t just consider prestige, some of these journals also attract the broadest readership audience, and it’s the best way to get your work out there and into the hands of many other professionals in your field. Being accepted for publication can have a great impact in your career and your work, which can mean better resources and funding in the long run.

However, American journals usually follow a different style, and if you are a foreigner, this style can be particularly difficult to maintain. If you learned English as a foreign language, you may have learned the British Standard. American Standard English varies from British Standard English in many different ways, like some parts of grammar. For example, in British English you can say ‘hospital’ but in American English you need to say ‘the hospital’. Most importantly, the spelling can be quite different. Hundreds of words are spelt differently, such as ‘color’ and ‘colour’, and even more words have different meanings, such as ‘petrol’ or ‘gasoline’.

Although these differences may seem trivial or minor, they can build up in an unedited manuscript and be a deterrent to American journals. If you are not completely certain your manuscript is written in American Standard English, a professional editing service is your best shot.
