I learned about Editage from a good friend at Fudan University's Zhongshan Hospital. They frequently collaborate with Editage. In the six months or so I've spent with them, what impressed me most was the professionalism and unique insights of Editage's consultants and editors. Furthermore, they are extremely meticulous in polishing and refining articles, tailoring their work to the specific requirements of different journals. They also offered suggestions for improvement on various professional issues. After more than 20 rounds of email communication, consultant Rebecca's patient service and rigorous professionalism were truly admirable! I'm also happy to recommend Editage to my friends, making their paper publication process smoother and their academic research easier! I look forward to our next collaboration!

Since I am not native and good at grammar, I have faced lots of challenges when I write the article. Plus, my academic vocabulary knowledge is very shallow. If you want to publish your article in the academic journal, you have to be professional or you need professional help. Editage corrected all my grammar mistake, fixed the structure and changed the vocabulary in more academic way. I liked the service. It was as I wanted and wished to get. I was really satisfied with the service and as I predicted, my article was published!

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
Do you make changes to the text after a plagiarism check to lower the duplication rate? Do you rewrite or rephrase duplicate sentences and paragraphs?
As part of our plagiarism-checking service, we can help you identify sentences that may contain plagiarism and provide suggestions for reducing the duplication rate; however, the actual revisions must be made by the author. Therefore, we cannot assist in rewriting or rephrasing content that contains plagiarism. - 02
What will I receive?
If you choose the plagiarism check service, you will receive an iThenticate plagiarism report, as well as a report with revision suggestions to help you address any issues in your manuscript. - 03
How do I check my manuscript for plagiarism?
After you submit your plagiarism report request to Editage, we will use iThenticate software to conduct a comprehensive check on your manuscript. We will also highlight content that may be flagged as plagiarism by journals. In addition, our experts will provide feedback and revision suggestions based on the generated plagiarism report. - 04
What is the difference between free and paid plagiarism-checking services?
For academic manuscripts, choosing a professional paid plagiarism-checking service like Editage is usually the best option. Our detection scope covers a vast array of publications, subscribed journals, academic papers, and online databases, providing a comprehensive comparison for your manuscript.
Although using free online resources for preliminary plagiarism checks may seem like a good idea, this type of check is far from sufficient for academic papers. Free online plagiarism-checking services generally have shortcomings such as word count limits and limited database resources. - 05
How does Editage ensure the security of my manuscript?
Editage adheres to high standards of data security to ensure that your manuscript remains strictly confidential. Our editors strictly comply with confidentiality agreements, and our system is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified, ensuring that your manuscript is 100% secure and worry-free. - 06
Can plagiarism detection tools identify plagiarism across different languages?
Most mainstream plagiarism detection tools can identify and flag similarities in texts written in the same language. Although some tools claim to offer cross-language plagiarism detection, such detection is typically limited in effectiveness due to significant differences in grammar, phrasing, and sentence structure across languages. - 07
What Are the Common Types of Plagiarism?
The academic and publishing communities take the issue of plagiarism extremely seriously. However, for researchers just starting their careers, it is not uncommon to make unintentional mistakes because they may not fully understand what constitutes plagiarism or how to check their own work. There are several types of plagiarism to be wary of, including:
• Plagiarism based on citations: Incorrectly citing sources, citing fictional literature, or citing only the original source without citing the secondary literature actually used.
• Misleading data: When authors fabricate or tamper with data to support their research conclusions, this constitutes misleading academic misconduct and is a form of plagiarism. This is particularly harmful in clinical research, as it can directly impact medical decision-making.
• Failure to Use Quotation Marks: Directly quoting another author’s original text without using quotation marks or citing the source as required.
• Self-plagiarism: This is quite common and refers to an author reusing portions of their own previously published work without citing the source.
• Improper paraphrasing: This is the most common form of plagiarism. It involves rewriting text from other sources with only minor changes and/or failing to verify whether the original author has been properly credited.
• Patchwork plagiarism: This form of plagiarism is often difficult to detect and refers to the interweaving of others’ content within the author’s own original work. It is considered a deliberate act of plagiarism.
• Unintentional plagiarism: Plagiarism resulting from negligence, time constraints, or unintentional rewriting. Many young authors may not be fully aware of the exact definition of plagiarism and may therefore commit it without realizing it. - 08
How can you avoid duplicate content in your thesis?
Unintentional plagiarism can occur not only among researchers new to the academic field but also among authors who have published numerous papers. Key strategies for avoiding all types of plagiarism include: carefully reading and reviewing your manuscript, and keeping detailed records of cited sources; when directly quoting others’ work, be sure to use quotation marks and properly cite the source; if you reuse your own previously published work, you must also cite it. The best way to ensure your manuscript is free of plagiarism is to use a comprehensive plagiarism detection solution, such as the Editage Plagiarism Report.
