Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is the price worked out?
Each of the four stages has its own estimated price range. Choose any combination; the estimate is the sum of the stages you pick. You can also ask for just one part, such as proofreading only. Your quote confirms the final price.
What does project consultation include?
Personalised discussions about your research question, design, controls, troubleshooting and interpretation, followed by written recommendations and a prioritised plan of next steps. The quote defines the scope and follow-up period. Your team performs the experiments and makes the scientific decisions; laboratory work and staff management are not included.
What can you help me with?
Four stages, each with its own estimated price: research application review, project consultation, manuscript review, and publication support (journal selection, submission review and reviewer responses). Choose any combination.
Which service should I choose?
Choose Complete Manuscript Editing for the paper itself, Manuscript to Publication to take it through submission and revision, Complete Application Review for a grant draft, or Complete Research Support for everything except applications. For a single task, ask for a tailored quote.
Is the service only for immunology?
Immunology is our scientific specialism. Language editing and other clearly scoped tasks may also suit manuscripts or thesis material outside this field. We assess fit before accepting the work.
Will you submit the manuscript for me?
No. Submission review provides comments and suggested changes to your existing materials against the agreed journal's requirements, including feedback on your cover-letter draft and a checklist of actions. You carry out journal-specific editing and formatting, prepare the final files and declarations, and submit through the journal's portal. We do not prepare those files, draft the cover letter, access journal accounts or act as corresponding author.
What does a custom quote cover?
The quote lists the scope, written outputs, meetings, milestones and follow-up period. For publication work, it also specifies word count, journal count, revision rounds and delivery dates. Journal fees and article-processing charges are separate and paid by the author or institution.
Can I get help with just one publication stage?
Yes. You do not need to book every stage or restart work you have already completed. Tell us your current stage and the specific task you want help with.
How long will the work take, and are revisions included?
Timing and revision rounds depend on the material and our availability. Both are agreed before work starts. Share your target date in the enquiry. Additional journal decisions or work beyond the agreed rounds are quoted separately.
Do you guarantee publication?
No. Journal editors make independent publication decisions. We help you improve and prepare your manuscript; we cannot guarantee acceptance, a particular journal or funding.
Who will work on my project?
Our team agrees the work, your point of contact and how we will communicate before starting. Support is tailored to your project, with expert-led scientific interpretation and final quality control.
Will you use AI on my work?
Only with your prior agreement on the material, tools and purpose. AI may support grammar, alternative wording and basic formatting; it does not replace expert scientific judgement or final quality control. Enquiries are not sent to an AI model. You can request no AI use.
Should I upload my manuscript with the enquiry?
No. Start with a short, non-confidential outline. Do not include unpublished manuscript text, confidential results or patient-identifying information. We agree document transfer, access and confidentiality arrangements before receiving files.
Can you help with a thesis or research application?
Yes, within an agreed editing or proposal-review scope and your institution's rules for external assistance. The work remains the author's own. We do not fabricate research or provide concealed authorship.
Is Scientific Clarity a university service?
No. Scientific Clarity is independent. Academic affiliations describe professional experience and do not imply university endorsement or journal influence.
