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 0.04 GBP per word (i.e. 10.00 GBP per page of 250 words). For simultaneous editing and condensing, most manuscripts are charged at 0.05 GBP per word (i.e. 12.50 GBP per page of 250 words). Please note that Clark Scientific Editing is not VAT registered and, therefore, no VAT will be added. In addition to improving the quality of the English, manuscripts are read critically for scientific content. These prices reflect my 17 years of scientific expertise and are extremely competitive for high quality scientific editing. References are not included in the editing process. However, ensuring that references cited throughout the text match those in the reference list and vice versa is included. An administration fee of 15.00 GBP is added to the cost of each assignment.
