Some journals and institutions require confirmation that your document was edited by a native English speaker. A certificate of editing provides that proof.
This guide explains when you need one and how to request it.
Who Requires a Certificate
Many journals — especially in medicine and the sciences — ask for evidence that a manuscript was edited by a native English speaker before peer review. Some graduate schools and funding bodies have similar requirements.
What the Certificate Confirms
It confirms your document was edited by a native English speaker with no AI tools at any stage. It is available as an optional add-on with our editing services.
How to Request It
Request the certificate when you submit your document, or ask your editor through the internal messaging system.
