FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which editing plan should I choose?
Standard Editing suits early-stage manuscripts that need language correction. Premium Editing suits manuscripts close to submission, adding style, fluency, and an editing certificate. Scientific Editing adds attention to structure, figures, and tables. VIP Editing adds priority turnaround and a dedicated senior editor. If you are unsure, send us the manuscript — we recommend a plan with the quote, with no obligation.
How long does editing take?
Turnaround depends on the length of the text and the plan chosen. Most manuscripts are delivered within 3 to 7 business days; VIP Editing is prioritized at 24–48 hours.
What exactly do I receive?
You receive the edited file with tracked changes, a summary of the main edits, and — on request — an editing certificate you can include with your journal submission.
Will you change my scientific content?
No. Our work is limited to language, style, and presentation. Where meaning is ambiguous, we insert queries so that you — the author — decide.
Does editing guarantee acceptance by the journal?
No, and no legitimate service can promise that. Editing improves the language quality and clarity of the text; the acceptance decision depends on the scientific merit of the work, as assessed by the journal's reviewers.
How is my manuscript kept confidential?
Your files are handled confidentially, used only for the contracted service, and are not shared with anyone outside the editorial team working on your text.
Do you work with languages other than English?
Yes. We also provide academic translation and revision for Portuguese and Spanish, as well as journal formatting, scientific image editing, and XML/JATS/SciELO production support.
