Supporting the global biosciences research community
The Charlesworth Group and Portland Press launched two new co-branded portals in July 2020 with the aim of providing accessible English language editing and support services for Portland Press’ community of authors.

By providing this service to its authors, Portland Press seeks to drive higher quality article submissions to its seven journals, increase the chance of publication acceptance and introduce workflow efficiencies into its peer review processes.
