Scribbr’s proofreading services are priced transparently and affordably. Your proofreading rate depends on your word count, selection of services, and turnaround time.
Amazing! It is one of the most helpful tools you can use as a student.
Read review on TrustpilotThis makes citing far more manageable than when I was in high school back in 2009. Some sources may have to be manually entered, but overall, it's a great sourcing tool
Read review on TrustpilotIncredibly helpful for a late in life student whom never had experience in writing research papers. Understanding the importance of citations and annotations has made me a better student. Not getting the citations typed in incorrectly saves me so much times and anxiety. Thank you!

Read review on TrustpilotIch hatte bisher nur die Zitation von Scribbr zu testen, bin vom Ergebnis total begeistert. Es ist komplett einfach, einen Buchtitel oder eine Internetseite einzufügen und sofort eine perfekte Zitation zu bekommen. Dazu die Editiermöglichkeit, die Ergänzungen ermöglicht, Herz, was willst du mehr. Die anderen Angebote von Scribbr werde ich nutzen, sobald sich Gelegenheit ergibt!
Read review on TrustpilotI look forward to referencing my assignments because this website makes it so much easier for me.
Read review on TrustpilotIch nutze Scribbr für die Erstellung eines Literaturverzeichnisses und das klappt echt super!

Read review on Trustpilotcould be better butter but has help me cut down my time
Read review on TrustpilotHerzlichen Dank für Ihre Korrektur, sie war sehr hilfreich. Es hat mir sehr geholfen meine Facharbeit zu verbessern.
Read review on TrustpilotIch habe fast alles an meinem Exposé überprüfen lassen, um mir Sicherheit zu holen. Entsprechend umfangreich war das Feedback, dass ich erhalten habe. Marit hat an entsprechender Stelle gute Alternativformulierungen finden können und die Kleinigkeiten im Text gesehen. Die meisten Ihrer Anmerkungen habe ich umgesetzt, weil es für die anderen Dinge tatsächlich Vorgaben gibt, denen ich folgen muss.
Read review on TrustpilotVorteilhaft ist, dass ausgewählt werden kann, welche Korrekturservices benötigt werden. Neben den klassischen Korrekturlesen können noch weitere Punkte bestellt werden. Je mehr ausgewählt wird, desto teurer wird das ganze natürlich, aber ich muss sagen, die Qualität stimmt. Mir hätte eine Korrektur nach 7 Tagen gereicht, trotzdem hatte ich meine überarbeitete Version bereits zwei Tage später. Ich war total zufrieden und würde das Geld wieder investieren und meine Arbeit Korrekturlesen lassen.

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.
Our APA experts default to APA 7 for editing and formatting. For the Citation Editing Service you are able to choose between APA 6 and 7.
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.
