Frequently asked questions about re-edits

  1. What is a re-edit?

    After AJE has edited a paper and the author submits their document to a journal, the peer review process often leads to additional revisions to the manuscript. After making these revisions, some authors wish to have their paper proofread again before sending the final version to the journal. Since the paper has already been edited by AJE, it will be considered a re-edit and will receive a $40 discount off of another round of AJE editing.

  2. How do I submit a paper for a re-edit?

    To submit your paper for re-editing, you will need to click on the "See all submissions" button in your dashboard. Next, click on the the file name of your previous submission. You will then see a link that says "Submit for re-edit with $40 discount" that you can use to submit your document for re-editing and automatically receive the $40 discount.

    If you like, you can submit a version of your paper with the new paragraphs highlighted and instruct our editors to work on only those new sections. That will enable you to get the lowest word count and price.

  3. May I include additional text in the re-edit, such as the response to reviewers?

    Some authors choose to include their response to reviewers in the re-edit, and some additional text is expected when revising a document.

  4. What is the discount on a re-edit?

    We offer a $40 discount to re-edit the revised version of a paper previously edited by AJE.

  5. Can I use the re-edit discount for a new submission?

    Since it will take the editor less time to review a previously-edited document, the re-edit discount is only available for previously-reviewed AJE submissions and cannot be used for a new document. Papers submitted for a re-edit will be subject to verification that the original document was previously reviewed by AJE.

  6. May I use an existing coupon on my account in addition to the $40 re-edit discount?

    Coupons are not restricted, and you may use any available coupons in your account at any time. If your document is a custom submission larger than 18000 words, you will still receive the $40 re-edit discount, however, additional coupons will have a maximum discount of $50 each.

  7. What about the AJE editing guarantee?

    AJE stands behind the quality of our work. We are confident that our editing will improve your chances of publication. If your manuscript is rejected from publication for reasons of English alone, and we believe that you have made a good faith effort to incorporate our changes, we will re-edit your original manuscript for free.

    If you believe that your paper is eligible for a free re-edit, please contact AJE Support and attach the exact paper you submitted to the journal and all of the reviewers' comments. A managing editor will review your request and reply to you promptly.

Testimonials

I have been using American Journal Experts, either for correction or translation (Portuguese-English) since 2008. It is quick, efficient and rather useful. I strongly recommend it.
