Hi all,

I just reviewed a scientific article and have been asked by the author(s) to provide a "Carta del experto que revisó el uso del lenguaje, gramática y ortografía (para manuscritos en inglés)" as requested by the journal. I've never been asked for this before and have no idea what I need to include.

Anyone done this?

Many thanks.

Maybe… Jun 15, 2021

…you should ask the author(s) who request that rather the people here?

Asked the journal Jun 15, 2021

I wrote to the journal in question and was told the letter just needed to say that the article XXX had been revised in terms of language use, grammar and spelling. Nothing complicated.

Hope this helps if anyone else comes across it.

Thanks Esparantisto for your response.

Occasionally - I think Jun 17, 2021

I used to have a Spanish client who asked for a "self certification" that you were qualified in the subject and had (to the best of your knowledge and ability) used correct terminology etc. I think was for their internal QC system.
