Frequently Asked Questions
Is my editor qualified?
Your editor will have a doctoral-level university qualification, will have held a scientific post at a university for at least 20 years and have at least 100 scientific publications in journals and books.
How do I submit a document for editing?
Email your document in Microsoft WORD format, with instructions concerning U.K. or U.S.A. English and whether the document has a deadline. Note whether some sections should be left unedited (e.g. the references).
What is your pricing structure?
Our pricing is based on the length of the document and the quality of the language (i.e. the time required for editing). University scientists pay €57,- per hour, commercial enterprizes €69,- per hour. Typically, the work on a 20-page document in good but imperfect English would cost around €150. Note that very urgent deadline work (3 work days or less) carries a 30% supplementary charge.
