FAQ

A. Questions About Our Services

Question A-1: Are Editing and Proofreading different services?

Yes, Editing and Proofreading are different services. English Proofreading typically involves a final review and check during the acceptance stage, whereas English Editing is a more comprehensive revision service conducted before submitting articles to journals.

Question A-2: Can I see the changes made in the editing process?

For all our services (Editing, Proofreading, Revision, Final Check), we use the “Track Changes” feature in Word. This feature allows you to view every change made, including deleted letters or added punctuation, with a timestamp. Thus, you can see all the edits clearly.

Question A-3: Do you provide certificates? What is their validity?

We provide certificates for our editing services at no additional cost. Certificates are not issued for translation or formatting services. Our certificates are internationally valid. For sample certificates, downloading options, certification verification, and other queries, please visit our Certificate Details page.
