Academic integrity: our promise to students, universities and science

Responsibility and values

Academic integrity is the foundation of our daily work. We help students sharpen their academic texts in language and form without intervening in how the content came about. For us, proofreading and editing mean finding errors, making wording precise and checking structure. The scholarly contribution stays with the author at all times.

What academic integrity means for us

We do not write, extend or rework the argument of your thesis. We check how it is expressed: spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, consistent terms and a clean citation style. Every change appears in tracked changes, so you see each intervention and decide whether to accept or reject it.

Cooperation with universities and organisations

We stay in close contact with universities, student representative bodies, educational organisations and companies. These partnerships help us understand the needs of students more precisely and develop our service step by step. For us, closeness to universities is not a marketing term but daily practice. See also our overview of universities and higher education.

Fair prices for our customers

Students have to manage tight budgets. That is why professional proofreading starts at €1.90 per standard page (1,800 characters including spaces), with no hidden costs and no subscription traps. Transparent prices, honest communication and fair value for money are a matter of course for us.

Fair pay for our professional editors

Quality comes from people. Our editors are trained linguists and experienced specialists in their fields. We pay fair wages because we believe good work deserves proper payment. Only in this way can we keep up the standard our customers expect.

Responsibility and personal customer service

We take full responsibility for every order. You can reach our personal customer service by phone and by email. As a rule we reply within 24 hours and look for a solution to every concern. Your satisfaction is our measure. See the contact page for details.

Our promise

Data protection and anonymity

Academic integrity also starts with protecting your personal data. When you entrust us with a document, we treat it with the greatest care: we delete all uploaded files completely from our servers no later than 7 days after the order has been completed. Your texts are not stored, sold or used for other purposes, and that includes training AI systems. If you use AI tools in your own work, you should declare this openly. You will find more in our guide to AI tools.

Your document is transferred only over an SSL-encrypted connection. Our whole infrastructure is GDPR-compliant and runs on servers in Europe. We do not pass customer data or document contents to third parties, whether partners or authorities, unless the law expressly requires it.

This lets you use our service anonymously and discreetly: no editor learns your full name, and nobody passes on personal data without your consent.

Our quality assurance process

For us, academic integrity is not only about ethical principles but also about measurable quality. Every order follows a fixed process. A specialist editor with an academic degree in the matching subject works on your document. We mark all changes transparently in tracked changes.

For large or especially demanding works we use a double check: a second experienced editor reads the revised document through once more, independently. This way even fine errors in grammar, style and wording do not slip through.

Our team consists exclusively of qualified professionals with at least 7 years of experience. All of them have studied themselves and know the demands of academic writing from their own experience. We evaluate the quality of every order internally and feed the feedback into the continued development of the team.

Questions about how we work?

We are always glad to hear from students, universities and organisations.

Is a plagiarism check worth it before submission?

Yes, definitely. A plagiarism check gives you certainty before you hand in your work. You can use our plagiarism checker (€0.29 per standard page), the AI detector (€0.29) or the combination of both (€0.39). Uploaded files are deleted after the check. Read how to understand scan results to interpret the percentages correctly: a low match is normal, because quotations, titles and common phrases are also found by the software. What counts is whether the matches are properly cited.
