Well, you may disagree with me.

For one thing, AMS has copy editors, at least it used to (since I haven't published anything with AMS lately), but AGU does not (and still does not).

Both AMS and AGU started to post links to editing companies. If you exam the two sites, you will likely agree with me that AMS's links are better than AGU's.

You may wonder why I should care?

Well, I was contacted by the CEO of AGU, regarding how to help researchers to improve their skills of writing and speaking (because my name and email were sent to her by someone on an AGU committee).

Here is what I wrote to her:

"I think the AGU can call for volunteers, especially those who have recently retired and want to stay in touch. Another way is to use freelancers like me. I checked the AGU site for authors, and it has three links to editing companies. I think more, and better, links should be added. (I made an attempt to be listed, but failed--the staff I contacted at the AGU didn't know how to find the person who is responsible for the web site.)

For example, the AGU can list

Nature Publishing Group Language Editing:

http://languageediting.nature.com/editing-services

 
Elsevier English language editing:

http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageservices/

http://www.liwenbianji.cn/

is the biggest editing company in China.

The AGU could also set up its own editing company..."
