Your reviewer knows the fieldA translator and a reviewer trained in the paper's field, chosen by hand.

§ 1 · The detail

Papers don't come back for lack of science. They come back over details.

Publishing in English as a second language carries a cost that never shows up in the project budget.

2.5×

more likely to have a paper rejected because of the English

12.5×

more likely to be asked to revise the English before publication

  1. 01Calls for papersSpecial issues and calls for papers have closing dates.
  2. 02Peer reviewJournals set a deadline to respond to reviewers.
  3. 03Funding callsInternational projects follow the funder's calendar.

The science is yours, and acceptance is up to the journal. The language goes to someone who knows your field, by the deadline the journal set.

§ 2 · The community

Your reviewer knows the field.

For each manuscript, Zetta chooses by hand, from the community, someone trained in the paper's field and available for the journal's deadline.

Health Sciences

Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Dentistry

Life and Environmental Sciences

Ecology, Oceanography and Environmental Engineering

Applied Social Sciences

Law, Business Administration, Economics and Tourism

Humanities and Education

Education, Psychology, History, Languages and Literature

Exact Sciences and Engineering

Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry

Agricultural and Earth Sciences

Agronomy, Geosciences and Veterinary Medicine

Chosen by hand. Approved by the community.

Experts join by invitation and pass six filters before their first text: invitation, review panel, portfolio, credential, pilot project, NDA and LGPD. The community brings together more than 60 translators and agencies.

§ 3 · How it works

From manuscript to submission, in five steps.

01

Upload

The researcher uploads the manuscript to the platform and names the target journal.

02

Selection
