Pricing & Processing Times -

The charge for correcting and polishing the English language of your scientific document depends on the level of service it needs and the length of the document (in words). Word count refers to the number of words in the text, figure and table captions. References are not included in the word count. Currently, we can accept Microsoft Word documents only. We use the word count function of this software to count the number of words in your document. The Managing Editor assigned to your document will contact you to recommend one of the following pricing levels for your document. You make the final decision.

Silver-1: Five (5) U.S. cents per word. Processing time is 7 days after payment for one editing.

Silver-2: Six and half (6.5) U.S. cents per word. Processing time is 7 days after payment for two editings.

Silver-3: Seven and half (7.5) U.S. cents per word. Processing time is 7 days after payment for three editings.

Silver-top: Eight and half (8.5) U.S. cents per word. The Language Editor will correct your revised article until your article is either accepted or rejected for publication by the journal.

Gold: Seven and half (7.5) U.S. cents per word. You will receive a video from your Language Editor explaining the major corrections to the text. The goal is to help improve your English writing skills. Processing time is 7 days after payment.

Platinum: Ten (10) U.S. cents per word. Your Language Editor will contact you to set up a 1 hour video chat (e.g. Skype) to explain in detail the changes made to the manuscript.

Diamond: A fixed charge of $1,500 per document (less than 10,000 words). This is submission-to-publication service. That is, the Language Editor will correct your document prior to submission to a journal. Most articles need to be revised based on peer-reviews. The Language Editor will correct your revised article plus your responses to referee's comments. If a second and third round of reviews happen, the Language Editor will continue to correct your revised article. This process ends when your article is either accepted or rejected for publication by the journal. This service is limited to one article only. You can interact with your Language Editor through out this process via video (e.g. Skype). Processing time is 5 days for each iteration.
