On this transparent, peer-2-peer marketplace De Gruyter can now offer its authors an extensive range of services such as English language editing, scientific editing and manuscript formatting. Designed with the De Gruyter corporate brand in mind, this secure environment has been built using the most innovative, smart and integrated platform for author services and is powered by Peerwith.
