Major Edit

$6 per 100 words

Do you have difficult-to-please reviewers who want a significant revision of your paper? Do you need help identifying and fixing structural or logical problems within your document? In addition to performing all of the serves included in a copy edit, we will identify options to re-order sentences, paragraphs, or sections; add references; and/or refine arguments. A major edit is often iterative, with the editor leaving numerous questions, comments, and suggestions in the document on the first round and aiming for minimal changes and a submission-ready document on the final round. For this reason, a major edit includes up to 4 editing passes in total on up to 2 versions of the document. Additional revisions will be edited at the proofreading rate.

Proofreading

$2 per 100 words

Ready to hit ‘submit’ but want to make sure it’s perfect? Do you expect only one or two small errors per page? We offer affordable proofreading for camera-ready writing. This is a perfect option for busy professors!

Copy Edit

$4 per 100 words

This option is suitable for most documents. We’ll fix spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting, and ensure self-consistency in logic and terminology. We’ll also improve sentence structures when necessary, identify where additional references would help, and flag any text where the meaning isn’t clear enough to correct. Numerous changes per page can be expected but the tone and structure of the document will be retained to protect the voice of the author. Includes up to 3 editing passes on 1 version of the document. Questions will be answered and small changes will be re-edited for free. Additional revisions will be edited at either the copy editing or proofreading rate, depending on the state of the paper.

Journal Selection

$50 per paper

Do you need help identifying promising journals where your paper will have the highest probability of acceptance? Are there journal attributes such as turnaround time or open access publishing costs that are important to you? We can prepare a list of up to 20 potential journals with the top 3 to 5 recommendations rank ordered based on your paper and desired journal attributes. Your suggestions will include a link to the journal website; editor’s notes about the journal and potential fit; and journal key performance indicators (KPIs) such as their acceptance rate, days to first decision, H-index, and more. Note that not all KPIs are available for all journals.

Thesis / Dissertation

$3 per 100 words

Do you want to improve the writing in your MS thesis or doctoral dissertation? We offer a discounted rate for these longer documents. Our dissertation / thesis editing service is similar to copy editing but includes only 1 editing pass.

Reference Formatting
