Question 1

How much does SCI paper language editing cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary by agency, discipline, and service depth. Basic proofreading typically 0.3-0.8 RMB/word; deep editing (logic, structure, language) typically 1-3 RMB/word. An 8,000-word SCI paper deep editing costs approximately 8,000-24,000 RMB.

Question 2

Can Grammarly replace professional editing?

Accepted Answer

No. Grammarly detects basic grammar and spelling errors but cannot handle logical issues, terminology accuracy, or discipline-specific conventions unique to academic writing. Use both tools plus professional editing.

Question 3

Do non-native English authors need to disclose language issues?

Accepted Answer

No need to proactively disclose. Some journals (like Elsevier titles) request language editing statements, but this is not mandatory. If reviewers flag language, simply state in your response that professional editing was obtained.
