Packages for individual scientists

PhD Editing Packages

PhD editing improves the overall quality of the writing and includes rephrasing for flow, improving clarity of message, and changing awkward sentences.

PhD Proofreading Packages

PhD proofreading involves correcting minor mistakes, missing articles etc. It improves already good writing and is typically at the end stages of the manuscript submission process.

It is not rare in the academic world that the research and publication funding has to be distributed within a short period of time. A case in point is funding obtained from a research grant – although the research has been carried out, the preparation of publications is still in progress. If we do not use the funding surplus in time, we will lose the funds. A similar scenario may occur at research and educational institutions towards the end of the financial year. Another instance is the time of distributing research funds and grants – we know that we will ask for translation or academic proofreading, but the application has to include a specific amount for such services.

 Having all this in mind, we would like to offer you our bundle offers. A bundle is a set of pre-paid services to be performed in the future but can be settled at once based on an invoice payable within 14 days from the issue date. Purchased bundles regard scientific and administration-related editing or academic proofreading. If you purchase a bundle, we grant you a credit for our services to be used within a specific period of time. Most importantly, we guarantee the highest quality of our services.

 Scientific packages are an ideal solution for grant managers

If you are a grant or faculty leader and need to settle the accounts as soon as possible, while the work on publications is still in progress, we encourage you to take a look at our scientific bundles. Any moment is good to order, even if you are still planning the expenses in your project.

You have a lot of time to use the bundle, so there is virtually no pressure in this respect. Furthermore, the largest bundle includes a free-of-charge check of your reference letters that should be attached to each submission. We know that it is an important element of the publication process and the content of such a letter is frequently a decisive element in accepting the paper.

Within the largest bundle (VIP), editing or proofreading of a reference letter regarding a paper we are handling is free-of-charge. Our Head of Scientific Proofreading, dr hab. Mark Hunt, is a native speaker of English with rich experience in writing, proofreading and reviewing academic papers. He is eager to give advice and help in creating the reference letter that will show your paper in the best light.
