How Editnests defines quality: Language Assessment Tool (LAT)

Editnests developed a unique rating system to ensure the quality of our editing services. Editnests’ Language Assessment Tool (LAT) rates the quality of a scientific paper’s English language using metrics particular to academics within the seven major disciplines of study. The tool compares your academic paper to hundreds of thousands of edited and unedited papers that were scored for clarity, readability, grammar, and consistency. The tool populates a score of 0-10, with a higher score indicating higher English language quality.

This graph depicts LAT scores of 16,500 scientific papers submitted to AJE before editing. Over 52.1% had a score of 55 or lower.
