When determining the word count of any document, we consider the entire text, including tables, references, and mathematical formulae.

Please note that any files attached for reference are not considered in the word count.

If you have a question for your editor, you can login to the online account and use the Submit Question option. We normally answer within 1 working day. However, a member of our client servicing team will confirm the delivery schedule with you as it is determined by the nature and number of questions.

 

  1. I have made some changes to my paper after you edited it. Is the Quality Guarantee still valid?

If you have made significant changes to your paper after we have edited it (e.g., you have introduced new content or rejected our changes), the Quality Guarantee may not be fully applicable.
