Academic Language Support Tailored to Your Field and Target Journal
Academic Translation, Editing, and Proofreading Services
Save 10% on your first order
Every manuscript has different language needs. Its current English, academic field, target journal, and deadline all affect the level of support required. With 25 years of experience, we assess your manuscript free of charge and recommend only the services it actually needs. We provide academic translation, editing, and proofreading, as well as editorial support for manuscripts that have been translated or edited with AI tools.
Our team includes more than 200 native English-speaking subject-matter editors, each with at least seven years of professional experience. We match your manuscript with professionals whose expertise best fits your field and document type. Our services also include a complimentary iThenticate similarity check and a QR-verifiable language certificate.
Find the Right Language Support for Your Manuscript
Before you place an order, you should know exactly what your manuscript needs, what the service includes, when the work will be delivered, and how much it will cost. We therefore keep every stage of the process clear and transparent.
We assess your manuscript free of charge and provide a written quotation outlining the recommended service, scope of work, delivery date, and total price including applicable taxes. If the manuscript and agreed scope remain unchanged, the quoted price will not change.
No language service can guarantee journal acceptance. Our role is to address issues with language, terminology, clarity, and style so that your research is presented as clearly and accurately as possible.
If a journal editor or reviewer later requests language revisions to a manuscript we have worked on, we provide those revisions at no additional charge, provided that the original content has not been materially changed.

Which Service Does Your Manuscript Need?
Proofreading
If your manuscript is already complete and written in clear English, proofreading provides the final language check before submission. We correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, and consistency while avoiding unnecessary changes to your writing.
Editing
A manuscript can be grammatically correct and still sound awkward, overly complex, or difficult to follow. Academic editing improves sentence structure, clarity, academic style, terminology, paragraph transitions, and overall flow while preserving your intended meaning.
AI-Assisted Manuscripts
Manuscripts translated or edited with AI tools may contain repetitive wording, mechanical phrasing, or terminology that does not fit the academic field. In some cases, the revised English may also shift or weaken the meaning of the original text.
We review these manuscripts for academic language, clarity, style, and discipline-specific terminology. We reduce unnecessary repetition, improve sentence clarity, and make the language more consistent across sections. If the work requires comparison with the original source text, this will be clearly stated in your quotation.

Expert Team
Quality in academic writing is never accidental. It requires the right editor, the right editorial approach, and a disciplined review process. This is why our service model is built not simply around fast turnaround times, but around subject-matter expertise, academic publishing standards, and the security of your data.
Our editorial team consists of native English-speaking subject-matter specialists. We work with more than 200 native English-speaking editors, each with at least seven years of professional editing experience. This allows us to go beyond correcting grammar alone. Academic style, discipline-specific terminology, readability, coherence, and the expectations of international scholarly publishing are all addressed with equal care.
Every academic manuscript represents significant time and effort and deserves to be treated accordingly. At CertifiedEditing, we approach every manuscript with that level of care.

Professional translation of your academic manuscript using terminology and conventions appropriate to the relevant scholarly literature, followed by academic editing.
Your Manuscript Remains Confidential
During the quotation stage, your manuscript is reviewed only by the authorized team member responsible for the initial assessment. Once you place an order, access to your files is restricted to the professionals assigned to your project.
If you have any questions regarding confidentiality or any specific requirements concerning your manuscript, you can discuss them with us before submitting your files.
Delivery & Revisions
Along with your completed manuscript, we provide a QR-coded, verifiable language service certificate and a complimentary iThenticate similarity report.
If a journal editor or reviewer requests language revisions to a manuscript we have worked on, we complete those revisions free of charge as long as the original content remains unchanged. Newly added sections or requests falling outside the original scope of service are evaluated separately.
Access to your manuscript is restricted to the translator and editor assigned to your project. Your data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), and file transfers are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading focuses on correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, consistency, and basic readability issues. Editing is more comprehensive and also addresses sentence structure, academic style, clarity, terminology, textual flow, and coherence.
Proofreading may be more appropriate for manuscripts that are already strong in terms of English language quality, whereas editing is generally better suited to manuscripts requiring more substantial academic language improvement.
How can I determine which service I need?
If you are unsure which service is right for your manuscript, you can submit your document through our quotation form. We will assess its current language level, academic discipline, target journal, and your specific requirements, and then recommend whether proofreading, editing, or academic translation would be the most appropriate option. This helps ensure that you do not pay for a service you do not need.
Do you provide a language certificate?
Yes. A QR-coded language certificate that can be verified online is provided with our language services. The certificate can be used to document that your manuscript has undergone professional language review when submitting it to a journal or other academic organization.
Can I request a quote without uploading my manuscript?
Yes. You may request an approximate quotation by providing information about the length of your manuscript and the service you require. However, we need to review the manuscript before we can confirm the exact price and delivery date.
How long does it take to receive a quotation?
For quotation requests submitted during business hours, our average response time is approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length and complexity of the manuscript.
What types of academic documents do you work with?
As part of our academic language services, we provide translation, proofreading, and editing for a wide range of documents, including research articles, review articles, case reports, theses and dissertations, conference papers, abstracts, ethics committee documents, cover letters, responses to reviewers, and academic CVs.
Who can access the manuscripts I submit?
Until your quotation has been prepared, your manuscript is accessible only to the authorized editor responsible for the initial assessment. If you approve our quotation, access is then restricted to the translator and/or editor assigned to your manuscript. Your files and personal data are handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Does the quoted price include taxes?
Yes. The price stated in your quotation includes all applicable taxes. No additional charge will be added without your prior approval.
Does using a professional language service guarantee that my manuscript will be accepted by a journal?
No. Decisions regarding publication are made independently by the journal, publisher, editors, and reviewers. The purpose of our services is to strengthen the linguistic presentation of your manuscript and help ensure that your research is communicated clearly and accurately. Professional language support can reduce language-related problems, but it cannot guarantee publication or acceptance.
Where can I use my discount code?
If you have a discount code, enter it in the special message field when completing the quotation request form.
How is my quotation calculated?
Your quotation is based on factors including the length of your document, the service requested, its current language level, academic discipline, source and target languages, and required turnaround time. After reviewing your manuscript, we clearly specify the scope of work, delivery date, and total price. We do not begin work until you have approved both the service and the quotation, and no additional charges are added without your approval. A 10% discount is available for first-time orders.
How long does delivery take?
Turnaround time depends on the length of the manuscript, its current language level, academic discipline, and the scope of the service required. For eligible manuscripts, a 48-hour expedited service may be available. Your confirmed delivery date will be provided with your quotation after we review the document. Work begins only after you have approved both the price and delivery schedule.
Will I have to pay again if the journal requests language revisions?
Any language revisions requested by journal editors or reviewers in relation to a text for which we have provided services will be completed free of charge, provided that the original content of the text remains unchanged. However, additional fees may apply if new sections are added after completion of the service, the content is substantially revised, editing of a different text is requested, or a new service falling outside the scope of the original assignment is required. In such cases, you will be informed of the revised scope of work and any associated fees before any additional work is undertaken.
