Editing by academics, for academics

Pricing

The amount charged by Clark Scientific Editing varies depending on the amount of text and complexity of each assignment. As a guide price, most manuscripts are charged at 0.03 GBP per word (i.e. 7.50 GBP per page of 250 words). The ‘References’ section of a manuscript can be included in the editing process with the accuracy of each citation, including the correct spelling of the name of each author, the full title of the article, journal name in full or its ISO abbreviation, year of publication, volume number, and page numbers, checked using PubMed. The editing of the ‘References’ section is charged at 0.10 GBP per word (i.e. 25.00 GBP per page of 250 words). These prices reflect my 17 years of scientific expertise. Manuscripts are read critically for scientific content during the editing process. An administration fee of 10.00 GBP is added to the cost of each assignment.
