Clear scientific writing improves review efficiency and reader understanding. JBD encourages authors to use language editing services when needed, especially for manuscripts that integrate complex computational and clinical content.

• Grammar and syntax review for clarity
• Consistency checks for terminology and abbreviations
• Formatting alignment with journal style
• Language polishing for complex methodological descriptions

• Use consistent terminology for diabetes phenotypes and outcomes.
• Avoid mixing British and American spelling within the same manuscript.
• Ensure figure captions explain methods, cohorts, and key results.
• Keep sentences concise when describing computational workflows.
• Define all abbreviations at first use, including gene symbols.
• Check that tables are readable without referencing the text.
• Use active voice when possible for clarity.
• Proofread for consistency in tense and terminology.
• Avoid ambiguous pronouns when describing datasets.
• Ensure that software names are capitalized consistently.
• Use clear subheadings to guide readers through methods.
• Check that numerical values include units and decimal consistency.
• Remove redundant phrases and repeated results statements.
• Ensure that clinical terms are used accurately and consistently.
• Highlight key findings in the abstract without exaggeration.
• Confirm that references to datasets are consistent throughout.
• Verify that supplementary material descriptions are complete.
• Ask a colleague to review clarity for interdisciplinary audiences.
• Clarify tense consistency in methods and results sections.
• Avoid mixing abbreviations with full terms in the same sentence.
• Ensure that headings reflect the actual content of sections.
• Check that in text references match figure and table numbers.
• Review the manuscript for duplicated sentences or paragraphs.
• Use consistent naming for cohorts and datasets throughout.
• Avoid jargon when a simpler term is available.
• Confirm that statistical terms are used correctly.
• Standardize capitalization of software and database names.
• Ensure that equations are described in plain language.
• Review the conclusion for alignment with the results presented.
• Check for consistent use of active versus passive voice.
• Ensure that limitations are stated clearly and succinctly.
• Avoid overstating causal claims from observational data.
• Use consistent formatting for gene and protein identifiers.
• Verify that supplementary file references are complete.
• Confirm that clinical terms are used consistently with guidelines.
• Check for consistent use of units across tables and figures.
• Ensure that abbreviations in tables are defined in footnotes.
• Review the abstract for clarity and conciseness.
• Check that statistical abbreviations are defined in figure legends.
• Ensure consistency between abstract results and main results.
• Review acknowledgements for correct spelling of contributor names.
• Ensure that dataset names are consistent across abstract and methods.

JBD is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in bioinformatics and diabetes research. We emphasize reproducible computational methods, clear data provenance, and ethical compliance across all article types.
