Abstract editing · Tokyo, since 1987
A strong paper deserves a
strong introduction.
Your abstract may be the first part of your research that a reader, reviewer, editor, or potential collaborator sees. A clear, focused abstract helps readers quickly understand the value of your work—and decide that the full paper is worth their attention.
Bun — the writing seal
Make your research easier to understand—and harder to overlook.
Our specialists edit your abstract so that it clearly communicates your study, its significance, and its key findings in polished, publication-ready English.
We can also recommend the journals your abstract suits best.
What we work on
Editing with the purpose in mind
Your abstract has a lot of work to do in very little space. It needs to tell readers what you investigated, how you approached it, what you found, and why those findings matter—all while meeting the journal’s requirements and making your research easy to understand.
FORTE’s Abstract Editing service combines scientific understanding with expert English editing to sharpen the structure, clarity, and impact of your abstract. A specialist science rewriter reviews your original text and rewrites it for greater precision, readability, and emphasis, while preserving your intended meaning.
You receive the first revised version within three days. After reviewing the changes and confirming the content, you can return the abstract to us for a free revision check to ensure that the final version accurately reflects your research.
Language
Our language check identifies grammatical errors, unclear phrasing, and inconsistencies that may undermine the perceived rigor and precision of your research.
Structure
Our structural check ensures the abstract follows the format, organization, and requirements of the intended journal.
Academic tone
Claims need to be appropriately framed, supported by the evidence, and expressed with the level of certainty warranted by the research.
Journal fit
With journal guidelines in hand, we ensure the abstract’s focus, terminology, and presentation are appropriate for the intended journal and its readership.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about abstract editing
Editing starts from the abstract you wrote. Creation starts from the full manuscript and writes the two hundred words for you. Different services at different prices; say which you have and the coordinator will confirm.
Yes — conference abstracts, grant panels and journal submissions all go through the same four passes. Say what it is for, because the framing differs.
On request. The editor will say which journals the abstract fits as written, and where the framing would have to change for another one.
The flat rate covers up to 600 words. Longer texts are quoted per word — send it and the quote comes back with the delivery date in JST.
It applies before submission. After submission the revised text is treated as new work, because by then it is answering a reviewer rather than polishing your own draft.
Every employee and every external partner signs a confidentiality agreement, access is limited to the people assigned to the job, and the assignment is logged. Forte holds the Privacy Mark and works under ISO 9001:2015.
