EDITING

 

OUR SERVICE

 

 

Our customized editing service was built in-house to meet the ever-increasing needs of the diversified scientific community at large. Whether English is your second language or your English is impeccable, unclearly worded phrases, poor word choice, and faulty sentence structure may spell ruin for technical papers as found in academic, private, and government research.

As can be seen in the above example, you will receive your edited paper with tracked changes, along with sidebar editorial comments.  Editors will always alert you to any unclear passages that may require your attention. We will never simply check for grammatical or punctuation errors and quickly return the documents back to you. Our edits are always involved -- just as we are involved in the success of your work.

 

Your editor will be a specialist if not expert in your subject matter.  While a generalist editor may only be capable of simple copyediting, we find that when a specialist editor is matched to the content of the paper the editor not only enjoys the experience, but also understands where substantively the content may have problems.  This in turn gives the author a distinct advantage and greatly increases the opportunity of publication.

 

Our copyediting always includes our Journal Matching Service ™. This service ensures that every journal guideline -- from word count to reference style to overall format -- is perfectly followed. Coupled with submitting a paper that is grammatically clean, proper adherence to journal guidelines makes for happy journal editors to say the least.

 

 

 

OUR PROCESS

 

To begin the process, we ask that you fill out our editing quote sheet. In addition to the quote sheet, supporting documents should be emailed as well and may be in the form of .DOC, .PDF, or .RTF formats, although .DOC is preferred. We recommend that you include any footnotes, references, graphs and tables with your text so that we may supply you with an accurate quote and ensure everything is properly edited and matched to your journal guidelines.

 

Upon receiving your file(s), we will supply you with the quote, and your editing will be carried out upon your acceptance of this quote. The majority of orders take 7-10 business days for completion, whereas involved, difficult or lengthy documents may take longer.

 
     
     

 

RATES AND PAYMENTS

 

ScienceDocs receives work from clients all over the world and material in all kinds of conditions.  Due to the wide variability we see not only in the technicality of documents, but also the level of English, we must first examine your documents in entirety to be able to supply you with a quote.

 

All editing projects are initiated after our invoices are paid or otherwise approved. We accept all major credit cards, checks and bank transfers. Please take a moment and fill out our editing quote sheet and we will promptly send you a quote for the project.
