Pricing
Rates by Service Type
Per-word rates apply to editing and writing. Analysis, synthesis and modelling are priced against the protocol or analysis plan, because word count does not reflect the work involved.
Rates for Editing and Proofreading
Rates for Writing and Publication Support
Rates for Research, Analytics and Data
Rates are indicative and shown in US dollars, exclusive of applicable taxes. The figure in your quote is fixed once you accept it.

Volume Pricing for Universities, Publishers and Industry Teams
Universities, journals and industry teams with ongoing volume can move to an agreed rate card instead of quoting each job separately.
Agreed rate card
Fixed per-word and per-project rates for the services your team uses, reviewed annually rather than per order.
Monthly billing
One consolidated invoice against a purchase order, instead of a payment step in front of every submission.
A single submission route
One intake route for the whole department, so work is tracked centrally and scope is agreed consistently.
A named contact
One person who knows your standing requirements, style rules and reviewer preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
If you are unsure what your project would cost, ask an expert without requesting a quote.
The same word count can involve very different work. A 4,000-word case report and a 4,000-word multi-arm trial manuscript require different levels of scrutiny, expertise and time. The rates above are starting points, and the scoping assessment converts them into a fixed figure for your budget.
No. Send your manuscript, dataset or brief, and within two business days you receive a written assessment of the work required, the assigned expert, the cost and the delivery date. You are under no obligation to proceed.
Yes. The quote is issued after a subject matter expert has read your material, so it reflects the actual work. We do not revise the price upward once work begins. If the scope changes, for example because you add a chapter or a second dataset, we quote the addition separately for your approval before work starts.
No. Reviewer responses, major and minor revisions and resubmission to a second journal are included in the original engagement within the agreed scope. Support continues until the work is published or you decide to stop.
Yes. Universities, publishers and industry teams working at volume move onto an agreed rate card with monthly billing, a named account contact and a single submission route for the whole department. Purchase orders are accepted.
Express delivery costs roughly a third more than standard, and urgent delivery roughly three quarters more. Both are stated in the quote before you accept, and we do not add a rush fee afterwards.
Rates on this page are shown in US dollars. Invoices can be raised in USD, GBP, EUR or INR, and the applicable rate is confirmed in the quote so the figure you approve is the figure you are billed.
