Notice of Business Closure
Thanks to all ELSS clients for 31 years of business. We have enjoyed working hard to deliver excellent scientific editing and translation. Although our quality remains better, large language models now deliver faster and cheaper editing and translation. The resulting steady decline in ELSS orders is not sustainable for our business: we will suspend operations after 30 September 2026. ELSS remains open for business for jobs to be delivered until then.

Experts in each field will provide high-quality service.

The translated manuscript conveyed what I had really intended to say. I am likely to come back with more requests in the future. I hope this is the beginning of a productive relationship.
