Products SAGE MILES
SAGE MILES, Manuscript Improvement and Language Editing services, is a premium editing service launched in 2017 by SAGE India. The services offered through SAGE MILES aim at helping authors and researchers polish their manuscripts through the various stages of development, making them publication- ready. SAGE MILES brings SAGE’s international
quality standards to the manuscripts by offering copyediting solutions, working on their language, format, contextual coherence and logical flow. The in-house editors are trained
extensively and are able to showcase exceptional proficiency in carrying out various publishing guidelines such as CMS, APA, AMA, among others. SAGE MILES extends its services to a wide range of subjects and a variety of manuscripts – from higher academic research articles, PhD and Master’s theses, reference book manuscripts, reports, textbooks to works of non-fiction. Apart from its standard language editing
services, SAGE MILES can also help PhD scholars prepare dissertations for either submission to universities or to publish as a book or an article, by helping with:
• Formatting references for advanced Author Index Performance;
• Bringing acceptable language quality of articles rejected by peer-reviewers;
• Rectifying inconsistencies – mechanical as well as stylistic;
• Setting the correct flow of thought; and • Providing expert views through contextual intervention.
Authors and students will be able to purchase this service and submit manuscripts by logging in to
www.sagemiles.com. The services will be delivered by professionally trained editors and subject-matter experts after performing quality control procedures.
Shalini Singh, director of publishing
services at SAGE India, said: ‘We are committed to bringing SAGE’s international standards of manuscript improvement and language editing to new and existing authors and researchers, whose works often remain a dream because of quality issues and manuscript rejection. ‘We are pleased with the response
we have received so far, and we are looking at offering prospective authors a comprehensive suite of specialised services in manuscript improvement and language editing.’

In Review
BioMed Central has created a new service, In Review. Powered by Research
Square, the organisation says the service offers authors a personal dashboard to easily track the status of their manuscript, and the opportunity to share it with the wider community earlier in the submission and peer review process. In the first instance, this
service will be available across four BMC journals. BMC says that, by using In
Review, authors will be able to: • Share their work while it is under review and engage the wider community in discussion (through the
Hypothes.is open annotation tool);
• Track the status of their manuscript on a more
granular level – including number of reviewers invited, number of reports received, and immediate access to reviewer reports;
• Demonstrate the integrity of their work with a transparent editorial checklist; and
• Benefit from early sharing, including potential for earlier citations and collaboration opportunities.
Furthermore the wider research community will be able to: • Follow, and comment on, emerging science
• Find new discoveries with fully-indexed search
• Note which editorial checks the manuscript has already passed
• Gain insight into the peer review pipeline of a particular manuscript
The theme of this year’s Open 30 Research Information December 2018/January 2019
Access Week is ‘Designing Equitable Foundations for Open Knowledge.’ BMC says this is particularly apt, as In Review will offer an open and equitable foundation for the submissions and publishing process. The company will be monitoring the success of In Review and author feedback, and says it will report back to the community in due course. Amye Kenall, global head of life sciences, open research at Springer Nature, said: ‘A manuscript is much more than words on paper. Painstakingly drafted, fuelled by coffee over long nights, then (constructively) dismantled by colleagues, re-drafted several times, and finally, assembled into something you’re proud of. It is the culmination of months or years of hard work,
and could potentially lead to recognition for you and your whole team. ‘It seems incongruous that
once you press the ‘submit to journal’ button, your article disappears into a publishing process that can be opaque, and hard for even the most experienced researchers to navigate. And the first time you receive feedback on your manuscript from outside your immediate circle, it is in the high-stakes setting of peer review. ‘At BMC, we are always
looking for new ways to experiment and improve the publishing process, and we think this new service will be invaluable for those seeking more transparency and control over their manuscript.’
