Ethical Editing Policy
The boundaries that protect author ownership, scientific accuracy, and trust.
What we edit
We improve grammar, vocabulary, syntax, readability, academic tone, consistency, and presentation. Where language obscures meaning, we may leave a comment requesting author clarification.
What we do not do
We do not fabricate or manipulate data, invent references, conceal plagiarism, determine authorship, create deceptive submission materials, or guarantee publication.
Author responsibility
Authors retain full responsibility for scientific content, methods, data, analyses, interpretations, citations, permissions, disclosures, and approval of the final manuscript.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts and personal information should be handled only for the agreed service and should not be disclosed outside the editing workflow except where legally required or explicitly authorized.
Editing certificates
A certificate confirms that language editing was provided for the identified manuscript. Certificates are sent privately to the client and are not publicly searchable. A certificate is not a scientific endorsement or publication guarantee.
