  • How do you ensure quality?

    Your document is edited and checked by two editors. It is first 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 more on general language and stylistic issues to enhance the overall readability.

  • Will my document be edited by a native English editor?

    Yes, our editors are all native English speakers, educated mainly to the postgraduate level at top-ranking research universities. We value the importance of our editors’ professional development. That is why we regularly offer training opportunities to our editors to ensure their professional knowledge and skills are fully up-to-date.

  • Do you guarantee that after editing by your company my paper will not be rejected due to language issues alone?

    Yes, we guarantee that if a manuscript remains unaltered after our editing and is rejected by a journal on English language grounds alone, we will provide a re-edit free of charge, based on the journal’s feedback on language usage issues.

  • Can I get an editing fee estimate before I submit my document?

    Yes, of course. You can simply use our online cost estimator and enter the word count of your document to get your editing fee estimate. You can also see different fee estimates corresponding to different return options.

    However, please note that these fee estimates are for reference only. We will provide a fixed quote based on a thorough assessment of your document’s word count, quality of writing and level of editing required.

  • My document is ready. How do I get a fixed quote?

    Simply submit your document using our online document submission form, or email to cs@asiaedit.com.

    Please include any special requests or instructions in the box provided in the form or in your email to us.

  • Do you have a minimum order value for your editing service?

    We do not have a specific minimum order value for editing service, but our minimum billable time is 30 minutes.

    For example, if we assess that editing your document will take 15 minutes in total, we will still invoice for 30 minutes.

  • After submitting a document how quickly will I receive a quote?

    We will conduct a quick assessment of your document’s word count and quality of writing to determine the editing time required, and we will send back an interactive quote within 2 hours during weekday office hours and within 5 hours outside of normal office hours.

    To ensure no delay in your return schedule, we issue quotes and process work during weekends and public holidays, except for 25 December, 1 January and the first day of Chinese New Year.
