Language Editing

IESM requires submitted manuscripts to meet international standards of English language usage to be considered for publication. However, in general, articles will be published in Bahasa Indonesia.

For authors who wish to enhance the clarity and impact of their research findings, IESM recommends language editing services provided by both internal and external partners.

Please note that submitting a manuscript for language editing does not guarantee its acceptance for publication by IESM. Editorial decisions regarding the scientific content of manuscripts are made independently and are not influenced by whether the manuscript has undergone editing by any partner or service.
