Quality Guarantee

Editage Quality Guarantee

We guarantee that the quality of English in all documents edited by Editage will meet the standards required by the international publishing industry. The Editage Quality Guarantee applies to every document edited by us, regardless of service, deadline, or fees.

Manuscript Editing

If your manuscript is rejected because of the quality of English, we will re-edit it for free, provided you have addressed all the editor's notes and comments and have not made significant changes to the edited manuscript.

Important points to remember for authors

Address editor comments.

Address all issues pointed out by the editor. If you are unsure about any comment or change made by the editor, please write to us with your questions at request@editage.com.

Get new changes checked by Editage.

If you have made significant changes or rejected revisions made by our editors after receiving your edited document, please have your changes re-checked by us. If you anticipate many changes, we recommend that you use our Multiple-Round Editing (MRE) services. MRE is available for free under the Premium Editing service and at a discounted rate under the Advanced Editing service.

Submit an editing certificate to the journal.

While evaluating papers written by non-native speakers of English, reviewers and editors of international journals tend to include a standard recommendation, asking the author to get the language checked by a native speaker. To avoid this, it is best to submit a certificate of editing to the journal along with your initial submission.

The most important factor in journal acceptance is research quality.

Acceptance of a paper is almost entirely dependent on the quality of research and on whether the findings are within the journal’s scope. While bad English can prevent excellent research from being published, good English cannot compensate for average research quality.

Editing benefits depend on the level of service.

Sometimes, when journal reviewers cite language as a reason for rejection, they are actually referring to the manuscript’s flawed logic, flow, and structure. While our Advanced Editing service corrects all aspects of language, only our Premium Editing service checks and corrects logic, flow, structure, and presentation. We recommend that you choose the editing service that best suits your needs.
