Cureus Editing Services
Enabling more authors to publish with tiered editing services
Cureus was founded on the belief that barriers to the publication and dissemination of peer-reviewed medical articles must be reduced. That’s why Cureus is an Open Access journal currently publishing the majority of articles completely free of charge. In a perfect world it would be 100%, and we’d love it if that were the case, but the fact is that many submissions arrive in less-than-ideal condition requiring substantial time, communication and editing on our part. That’s where our tiered editing services come in.
Cureus Editing Tiers
Every submission begins its life eligible for free publication, but only articles submitted with few or no errors will qualify. For the rest, we offer Preferred and Select Editing Services.
