Standard Editing is ideal when your manuscript already reads well but still needs language correction and a light polish. A native-English PhD editor will fix grammar, spelling and punctuation; streamline wording for clarity and conciseness; and ensure an appropriate academic tone. All edits are delivered with Word Tracked Changes and margin notes, so you stay in control. A typical 5,000-word manuscript receives about 500–800 edits—enough to bring solid writing to journal-ready quality without major rewriting.

English-language quality guarantee
Example: a 5,000-word manuscript typically receives 500–800 edits (corrections, insertions, deletions, and comments).
What is it for?
Your manuscript already has a relatively good level of English
You need language correction, clearer wording, and light polishing
Your manuscript needs light checks for consistency, logical flow, terminology, and cautious wording, but no major rewriting or text reorganisation
Your manuscript may include AI-assisted wording, but the scientific content is complete, coherent, and only requires expert language correction, consistency checks, and light polishing
You are looking for a fast and budget-friendly option
What are the alternatives?
If your manuscript needs more extensive editing, substantial rewriting (e.g., rewording awkward and overly convoluted phrases), or detailed checking of AI-assisted or -drafted text for hallucinations, logical gaps, unsupported claims, inconsistent terminology, loss of scientific nuance, or overly generic wording, we recommend our Premium Editing package instead.
If you are looking for a more comprehensive service that goes beyond language editing and also provides support during the peer review process, you may find that our Carefree Package is just right for you.
AI-assisted manuscripts: If your manuscript was drafted, translated, rewritten, or polished with AI, we can check whether the final text is logically coherent, scientifically precise, appropriately cautious, and internally consistent. We do not automatically treat AI-assisted manuscripts as easier or cheaper; the appropriate editing level depends on the quality and reliability of the text.
