Read review on TrustpilotHo utilizzato questo servizio per fare rivedere la mia tesi in inglese (per ora solo primo capitolo) e il mio editor è stato molto bravo. Inoltre il lavoro mi è stato riconsegnato in sole 24 ore nonostante avessi scelto la consegna entro 1 settimana.
Read review on TrustpilotIch habe die Korrekturen, die Sabrina vorgenommen hat, als sehr hilfreich empfunden. Ihre Änderungen waren klar und verständlich formuliert. Dank ihrer detaillierten Anmerkungen und des konstruktiven Feedbacks war ich in der Lage, meine Arbeit rechtzeitig fertigzustellen. Zudem schätzte ich die schnelle Rückgabe meiner Arbeit, was den Prozess sehr effizient gestaltete.
Read review on TrustpilotI thought the corrections were really helpful and I appreciate that she took the time to go through it and give nice comments. It also came back earlier than I had thought and that was very effective. I'd recommend it. Thank you very much :)
Read review on TrustpilotI recently sent out a sample of a manuscript to five different proofing organisations. Scribbr was not the best, but also not the worst. Their efforts were good, with few misunderstandings, but two other services were above expectation, leaving Scribbr in third place. I would say the service is adequate for many and great if you don't want to spend time reviewing many changes. For me, I preferred the eager and deeper edits of the other services, even if they had a few mistakes and misinterpretations I had to undo.
Read review on TrustpilotI requested a 7 day turn around of my 111 page dissertation. The Scribbr editors provided professional edits, comments, and recommendations to assist me in drafting the final version of my paper. The Scribbr team gain my trust and made this daunting process quite seamless. I would highly recommend Scribbr to anyone in need of the many services Scribbr provide. Thank you Deb and Emma for your patience with my review. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you, Paula Russo

Read review on TrustpilotWithin 12 hours of submitting a 50,000 word document, I was paired with an editor who showcased his talents in a 2,000 word editorial preview. The attention to detail was impressive and exactly what I needed to polish off my work. The final edit was returned promptly with great feedback throughout. All I can say is: I wish I would’ve found Scribbr at the beginning of my project rather than at the end!

To make the process as smooth as possible, simply upload your whole document and select only the pages that you want us to proofread and edit.
You’ll only be charged for the number of words on the pages you selected. To save you some money, we will automatically deselect your table of contents and reference list!
Your editor improves the overall organisation of your document. Are the headings clear and do they fit well with the content of each paragraph? Does every section contain the right information?
In addition to direct changes and comments, our editors use checklists for the abstract, introduction, discussion and conclusion.
The Structure Check starts at £0.0055 per word.
Your editor reads your thesis as a normal reader would. Does the story make sense? Is it clear and logical? A fresh pair of eyes can notice things you tend to overlook yourself.
Using checklists our editors will check for contradictions, a logical order of sections, and the clarity of your arguments, concepts and ideas.
The Clarity Check starts at £0.0055 per word.
Our citation experts check your reference list, in-text citations and footnote citations to make sure you consistently follow the guidelines of your citation style.
We are experts in APA Style, but we can help you with almost all citation styles. The citation expert also checks your in-text citations against your reference list to make sure they match.
Citation Editing costs £2.00 per source.
Want to contact us directly? No problem. We are always here for you.
Our support team is here to help you daily via chat, WhatsApp, email, or phone between 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CET.

Yes, if your document is longer than 20,000 words, you will get a sample of approximately 2,000 words. This sample edit gives you a first impression of the editor’s editing style and a chance to ask questions and give feedback.
You will receive the sample edit within 24 hours after placing your order. You then have 24 hours to let us know if you’re happy with the sample or if there’s something you would like the editor to do differently.
Yes, you can upload your document in sections.
We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.
However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if
Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance that your previous editor is not available.
If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the Scribbr Improvement Model and will deliver high-quality work.
Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.
Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.
If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!
Yes! Our editors are all native speakers, and they have lots of experience editing texts written by ESL students. They will make sure your grammar is perfect and point out any sentences that are difficult to understand. They’ll also notice your most common mistakes, and give you personal feedback to improve your writing in English.
Every Scribbr order comes with our award-winning Proofreading & Editing service, which combines two important stages of the revision process.
For a more comprehensive edit, you can add a Structure Check or Clarity Check to your order. With these building blocks, you can customize the kind of feedback you receive.
You might be familiar with a different set of editing terms. To help you understand what you can expect at Scribbr, we created this table:
| Types of editing | Available at Scribbr? |
|---|---|
| Proofreading Correction of superficial mistakes, such as typos, misspellings, punctuation errors and consistency errors. |
Yes! This is the “proofreading” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with editing. |
| Copy editing Focus on grammar, syntax, style, tone and the conventions of the field. The editor also considers the internal logic of the text and flags any obvious contradictions. |
Yes! This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading. |
| Line editing Focus on language, style, concision and choices. The editor helps you strengthen your story, polish your sentences and ensure that your use of language drives home your ideas. |
Yes! Select the Structure Check and Clarity Check to receive a comprehensive edit equivalent to a line edit. |
| Developmental editing (i.e. content editing, substantive editing) This is the first step of the editing process and applies to very early drafts. The editor helps you structure your ideas, decide what story to tell and find direction for your writing. |
No. This kind of editing involves heavy rewriting and restructuring. Our editors cannot help with this. |
When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.
However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.
This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.
Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!
After your document has been edited, you will receive an email with a link to download the document.
The editor has made changes to your document using ‘Track Changes’ in Word. This means that you only have to accept or ignore the changes that are made in the text one by one.
It is also possible to accept all changes at once. However, we strongly advise you not to do so for the following reasons:
You choose the turnaround time when ordering. We can return your dissertation within 24 hours, 3 days or 1 week. These timescales include weekends and holidays. As soon as you’ve paid, the deadline is set, and we guarantee to meet it! We’ll notify you by text and email when your editor has completed the job.
Very large orders might not be possible to complete in 24 hours. On average, our editors can complete around 13,000 words in a day while maintaining our high quality standards. If your order is longer than this and urgent, contact us to discuss possibilities.
Always leave yourself enough time to check through the document and accept the changes before your submission deadline.
