Journal publication is critical to any successful researcher's
career, and we are here to ensure that your ideas receive the
recognition they deserve
Unlike most editing services, our service quote is not based purely on an arbitrary word count, but a thorough assessment of your document’s writing quality. This allows us to accurately estimate the level of editing and number of hours required to perfect your writing, regardless of its word count, to give the fairest possible price.
Your manuscript is reviewed by a subject specialist to ensure compliance with the stylistic, result-reporting and referencing conventions of your field, followed by a language specialist who focuses on general linguistic and stylistic issues to enhance the overall readability.

by far our most requested service
requires 25% additional time:
an equivalent surcharge is applied.
Revisions are an integral part of the peer review publishing process. For transparency, if you revise a paper that we have previously edited we will charge the next round of editing according to the following:
35% of original cost
60% of original cost
80% of original cost
100% of original cost
We are happy to conform to any of the various style guidelines. Adhering to the APA or Chicago Manual of Style requires 20% additional time (and an equivalent surcharge), while specific journal guidelines require 30% additional time and surcharge. An additional surcharge may be levied, on a case-by-case basis, if in-text citations need to be changed from one format to the other (e.g., from the author–date citation style to the number citation style), as this change involves significant work. We only format Word (.doc and .docx) files.
The Editor Report is available for a flat fee for those who would like to improve their writing. This report outlines the key grammatical and stylistic areas of your writing that you can focus on when you write your next paper.
Provided free-of-charge when requested, you can use the Editing Certificate to prove that your document has been edited by a professional English language editing service.
Your Schedule, Our Prime Concern AsiaEdit takes a personalised approach to editing.
Standard Editing includes a first editor reading through the document twice, after which a senior editor carries out a final check.
After Standard Editing you respond to any comments that the editor has inserted, and add any of your own to ensure your meaning has been clearly understood. A Senior Editor then works through your document a final time.
