Editing principlesFor research papers, OnLine English appoints a first reader who has a PhD in the relevant discipline or who is an editor and reviewer of relevant international journals. A second edit is undertaken by an editor with a strong linguistic background. Then one of our managers provides a final quality check.OnLine English editors make changes to documents in order to:
OnLine English clients retain full responsibility for the content, structure and logic of their documents. Our editors do not make modifications at this level. OnLine English respects an author's style at all times and does not make unnecessary changes. If, however, a client has poor English and requires additional assistance, OnLine English will rewrite paragraphs or an entire document, upon request. OnLine English will edit student papers, but our own ethical principles prevent us from rewriting papers that are part of a student's assessment. OnLine English clients are able to discuss any issues arising from the editing of their documents until they are satisfied that their intended meaning is expressed precisely. Because we follow the principles outlined above, leading researchers confidently use OnLine English, knowing that we enable them to say what they want to say in clear well-constructed English.
