Pretty good, helped me not lose points for incorrect citations.
Read review on TrustpilotIt definitely makes my work easier and more efficient. Worth trying for!
Read review on TrustpilotHonestly this site gave me a lot of knowledge about research methods and special terms in the world of research. As a graduate student, I really recommend this site for any small researcher. Let us stand on the shoulders of the giants. Good luck
Read review on TrustpilotGREAT ARTICLE Perfect explanation and illustration of theoretical framework. I was stuck but now l understand
Read review on TrustpilotI just had another assignment proofread with all the add-ons. I must say that Ben is outstanding with his editing and feedbacks, comments, etc., and I'm really learning from him too. I wonder when I will be able to write without so many mistakes. Although there are some issues with the referencing, I don't fault them as even the same referencing are different in different universities so I'm not too concern as knowing Scribbr, they will correct/revise them effectively for me. As such, I can safely give them 6 stars.
Read review on TrustpilotThe team is very professional and the job they have done was detailed and serious. Hope to cooperate again.
Read review on TrustpilotOverall a quite good experience. The comments were helpful and helped me improve the academic language, structure, and clarity of my writing. Suggestions were left for confirmation or dismissal. Due to a technical glitch in merging documents on the editor's end, the citation review had to be redone before I could use it. Then however the results were absolutely within expectations. Most importantly, once given deadlines were held.
Read review on TrustpilotI used the citation editing service; it was very helpful. I know there's several citation generators out there, but it's always good to have a live person check your work. Will use this service in the future.
Read review on TrustpilotIt's true helpful to ask Scribbr to proof read and edit your document! I really appreciate it and plan to make more deal with you tomorrow!
Read review on TrustpilotVery kind team, very easy service, very competent and professional editor, and perhaps, an improvable correction interface. I think pdf correction tools offer an enhanced user-editor experience than microsoft word ones.
Read review on TrustpilotThe service was provided on time and delivered some great suggestions for improvements
Read review on TrustpilotOmg thank you SO much to Scribbr for help. I would DIE if I had to cite something in MLA format 18 times. It’s so helpful, would definitely recommend it! They fill in everything except for the website for you! SO helpful - can't express my gratitude for it! It's free and convenient! (lol now i dont have to manually do everything and watch billie eilish ads for 30secs to continue) ~Student
Read review on TrustpilotWonderful experience of proofreading & editing! Scribbr is user-friendly, and the proofreading & editing and plagirism checker services are of high quality. Ready to explore more services. Thanks a lot for the help from the expert. Truly benefit a lot from their opinions. I'll recommend Scribbr to more classmates and friends.
Read review on TrustpilotVery Professional Service I requested for some checking as I thought that some sentences and words didn't gave the correct meaning. I did revised the conclusion as I was told that it was weak. They told me to raise another order for them to take a look. So forget it. I started to source for alternative proofreaders. Anyway, other works by them were good. 16/11/2021 Sorry for the late Update. Scribbr responded immediately within an hour of my post. We had a good discussion and they were agreeable to what I have stated. We came to an amiable solution although I think it is too generous of them. But whatever initial "grievances" (for lack of a better word) I had, I cannot deny the fact that Scribbr is very good in their work and I seriously haven't found any other company that I would go to.
Read review on TrustpilotAwesome and thorough editing! Thank you for the feedback & help. 🤓
