Support with research article submissions
From manuscript to submission: expert support for academic and professional articles
Publication is an important step for doctoral researchers, medical trainees, university staff and other professionals. Preparing research for submission involves journal-appropriate structure, clear methodology and statistics, author guidelines, technical requirements and actionable responses to reviewer comments.
PROEXPERTA provides methodological, statistical and editorial support at different manuscript stages. Authorship, scientific ideas, final decisions and responsibility remain with the author.
We normally reply within one working day.

Manuscript stages
What stage is your manuscript at?
Support follows your manuscript's needs, whether you are organising results, reviewing a draft or preparing a revision. We always begin with an expert review and written assessment.
Data are collected, but the manuscript needs structure
The results need organisation into the format expected by the journal, often IMRAD.
You have a draft but are unsure it fits the journal
The topic, scope and presentation need comparison with the target journal's requirements.
Methodology or statistics need expert review
The description of design, sampling, instruments and analyses must match what was actually done.
Tables and charts do not follow journal guidelines
Results need the formatting, labels and captions specified in the author guidelines.
The manuscript needs academic and language editing
Style, terminology, paragraph structure and referencing may need systematic editing.
Reviewer comments have arrived with a revision deadline
Comments need categorisation, links to specific manuscript changes and written documentation.
At every stage, we begin with an expert review and written assessment of the required scope.
A structured written framework for reviewer responses can be prepared as a separate, clearly defined service.
Support options
What does support include?
Each option can be used independently or combined with others, according to manuscript needs and agreed deliverables.
Manuscript structure and preparation
Organisation according to journal requirements, usually IMRAD, clearer argumentation, and review of the abstract and keywords.
Research methodology
Review of research questions, design, sample, instruments and methods, ensuring the methodological description matches the actual procedures. Explore our research methodology page.
Statistical analysis
Review or execution of agreed analyses, with justification of methods and assumptions. See our statistical analysis page.
Results presentation
Tables, charts and precise reporting of results, including effect sizes and confidence intervals where appropriate.
Academic and language editing
Editing academic style, terminology, paragraph structure, citations and references according to journal requirements.
Alignment with journal guidelines
Checking structure, length, referencing, tables, charts, supplements, declarations and other author requirements.
Journal selection support
Guidance on assessing manuscript fit with potential journals and recognising predatory or unreliable publications. Journal selection does not guarantee publication.
Reviewer responses
Analysis and categorisation of comments, links to manuscript changes and a structured written response framework. The author approves and submits the final version.
Scope is agreed before work begins. Feedback received after submission is addressed through supervisor and reviewer revision support, with a clearly defined scope and written justification of changes.
Service models
Four ways to work with us
Choose support based on your manuscript's needs. Each model starts with a written assessment and clearly defined deliverables.
Written manuscript assessment
Expert review of a manuscript or outline, with a written assessment of what is ready, what needs revision and in which order.
- Expert manuscript or outline review
- Written findings with clear priorities
- Recommendations for the next step
Statistics and results presentation
Agreed analyses, statistical review, tables, charts and written explanations to support the author.
- Analysis-plan review and agreed analyses
- Tables and charts following journal guidelines
- Written explanation of results
Comprehensive publication support
Integrated methodological, statistical, editorial and technical support, from structural review to author-guideline compliance and agreed revisions.
- Structure, methodology and statistics in one scope
- Academic editing and alignment with author guidelines
- One agreed round of reviewer revisions
Response to reviewers
Feedback analysis, a revision plan and a structured response framework linking each answer to a manuscript change.
- Categorisation by type and priority
- Revision plan linked to manuscript sections
- Written response framework for author approval
The price depends on the manuscript's condition and length, required analyses, journal requirements and deadline. You receive a clear quote with scope and deliverables after review.
Working together
How does the process work?
The process is straightforward and documented. Written communication keeps requirements, specialist decisions and recommendations available for reference.

Delivery of the agreed work
We undertake the agreed methodological, statistical, editorial and technical work, explaining key decisions.
Deliverables and recommendations
You receive edited materials, written explanations of key changes and recommendations for preparation or submission.
Following journal requirements supports editorial and peer review, but publication decisions always remain with editors and reviewers.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions before manuscript submission
Can you guarantee publication?
No. Editors and reviewers decide acceptance. We can help prepare the manuscript methodologically, statistically, editorially and technically to meet the target journal's requirements.
Do you work with English-language articles?
Yes. We support Croatian and English manuscripts, agreeing the linguistic and specialist editing scope before work begins.
How long does preparation take?
Timing depends on the manuscript, required analyses, journal requirements and deadline. We confirm a realistic timeframe in writing after review.
What if the journal rejects the article?
We can analyse the reasons and prepare a revision or adaptation plan for another suitable journal. This is a separate scope of work.
Can you help with statistics only?
Yes. Standalone statistical support can include analysis-plan review, agreed analyses, tables, charts and written explanations.
Can you help after reviewer comments arrive?
Yes. We analyse and organise comments, plan changes and prepare a structured response framework. The author approves and submits the final response.
