When your work is ready for proofreading, please rename your document if possible as follows: First-name_Last-name_today’s-date. For instance, if your first name is James, your last name is Frank and today’s date is 2 Jan 2016, the name of your file would be James_Frank_02012016.
If you send more than one file to us on the same day please name the second file James_Frank_02012016_2, the third file James_Frank_02012016_3 and so on.
Please send to manuscript to salientpapersproofreading.org using this submission page.
The format should be either British or American English. The style guide could be Harvard referencing, Chicago referencing, APA style, weblink to author instructions of a journal, etc. If no style guide is supplied we correct references to the style that is prevalent in the document to ensure continuity. Also indicate the deadline for the proofreading in the message field.
After we have carried out the word count and the calculation we will send you an e-mail confirming the price, deadline, format and style guide. Even if heavy editing is required and we have to spend more time on your document than we anticipated we guarantee that the calculated price will not go up.
Your document would be proofread after payment, and when we have finished proofreading we will return two files to you: a tracked version and a clean version of your proofread document. The tracked version is named yourfilename_tracked_version and the clean version is named yourfilename_clean_version. Using our previous example these would be: James_Frank_02012016_tracked_version and James_Frank_02012016_clean_version.
The advantage of this method is that in the tracked version of your document you can easily move between the changes the proofreader has made. The clean version is ready to print out and you do not have to type in all the changes yourself. Corrections, suggestions and comments are shown in the right-hand margin of the tracked version.
