Frequently Asked Questions

We want to organize a workshop on campus. Who should we contact?

Contact us through WhatsApp and let us know that you would like to organize a workshop and the topic of the workshop. Specify where you want to arrange the workshop, the topic, and the background of the participants. We will then contact you to set an appointment for an online meeting (15 min) to discuss your needs and agree on a date.

I passed the workshop and obtained a certificate. Why can't I redeem it?

The certificate obtained for completing all assignments in a workshop can be redeemed for proofreading of a scientific paper. However, there are terms and conditions, such as the number of times the certificate can be redeemed, and the time period it is valid. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the certificate can not be used to redeem this service.

How much does a workshop cost?

The cost depends on the several factors, including the topic and location of the workshop. We charge based on the duration, number of participants, and preparation time for the workshop. We also consider traveling costs.

I obtained a certificate and sent my paper for proofreading. Why haven't you checked the whole paper?

We recommend that you send us the paper just before it will be submitted to a scientific journal. This way, you will get the most out of our (free) service. If we see that your paper is in an initial stage and will need to be revised before submission, we will proofread only parts of your paper and make comments to let you know what needs to be improved. Initial stage manuscripts need more than proofreading, most often heavy editing is needed. In this case, proofreading will be a waste of time as the manuscript will be revised anyways (and new errors will emerge).
