HOW CAN WE HELP?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you edit text in tables, charts or diagrams?

    Our editors work on any English content (but not numbers) in tables, charts and diagrams in your paper, unless you specify that we should ignore it.

    If you do not want us to work on the text in tables, charts or diagrams, please communicate with our client support team before editing commences.

  • Can you format my paper in line with common style guidelines or the guideline of my target journal?

    We are happy to conform to any of our clients’ formatting requirements. As it requires extra time from our editors, an equivalent surcharge is applied.

    Final confirmation will be given upon review of your document, but usually a 20% surcharge is applied for adhering to APA or the Chicago Manual of Style, with 30% extra applied for specific journal guides. Ideally clients should provide links to journal-specific style guides to ensure there is no miscommunication.

  • Do you help rephrase plagiarised content?

    No, ethics preclude us from helping to rephrase plagiarised content.

  • Can you provide an editing certificate? How can I get one for my paper?

    Yes, we can provide you with an editing certificate upon request and it is completely free-of-charge. It can be used to prove to your journal editor that your document has been edited by a professional English language editing service.

    Simply select Editing Certificate when you confirm your interactive quote with us. Remember to insert the required information such as article name, author name etc which will be printed on the certificate.

  • Do I need an Editor Report?

    The Editor Report outlines the key grammatical and stylistic weaknesses with your writing. If you would like to improve your writing it is certainly useful feedback if you have the budget available.

    The Editor Report is available as an add-value service with a flat fee of HK$400 (or equivalent amount in your currency). You can opt for this when you confirm your interactive quote.

  • Do you charge for second or further rounds of re-editing?

    If you have made changes to your paper after our editing, we can help identify the revisions through the compare feature in Word and provide a quote to re-edit the changed parts only.

    Please contact our client support team at cs@asiaedit.com for assistance and enquiry.

  • I just received feedback for my paper which was previously edited by your company. Can you edit my paper again?

    If the paper is rejected on English language grounds alone and you did not revise our paper after our editing before submitting, we are happy to provide a re-edit free of charge.

    However, in the vast majority of cases content also needs revising. In such cases you may need to rewrite some parts of your paper and we can then provide a separate quote to re-edit your revisions only.

    Please contact our client support team at cs@asiaedit.com for further assistance.

  • Are you able to edit my responses to reviewer comments?

    Yes, you can just send us your responses to reviewer comments and we will provide you with a quote

  • If my paper is rejected by a journal will you re-edit for free?

    We guarantee that if a manuscript remains unaltered after our editing but it is rejected by a journal on English language grounds alone, we will provide a re-edit free of charge.

    However, if your paper is rejected for more than just English language issues, you may consider modifying your paper based on the reviewer comments and then sending it back to us for a new quote to work on the revised parts only.

    Please contact our client support team at cs@asiaedit.com for further assistance.

  • What type of documents do you edit?

    We edit all kinds of academic documents from all subject fields including journal papers, research grant proposals and theses and dissertations for masters and PhD students. In addition, we also edit university promotional and administrative documents such as annual reports, programme brochures, newsletters and website copy.
