Translation conveys the content from one language to another, with attention to meaning and specialist terminology. Language editing improves the wording, grammar and style of an existing text. Academic editing also examines the structure, coherence and presentation of the documentation, within the framework agreed for the project. You can request a single service or a combination of services.
We provide translations from Greek into English and from English into Greek, as well as text editing in both languages. Our scope includes scientific articles, abstracts, clinical case studies, chapters and books, presentations, educational material and health-related content for websites. Our ability to undertake each project is confirmed following an assessment of the subject matter and its requirements.
The cost depends on the service, the scope, the languages, the condition of the source material, the level of specialisation and the deadline. Following an assessment of the project, a quotation is sent out specifying the scope of work, deliverables, charges, VAT where applicable, and payment terms. Before work commences, any advance payment, payment instalments and the details required for issuing the relevant invoice are agreed.
The delivery time is determined based on the scope, complexity, service and availability. The deadline is agreed upon before work begins. If there is an urgent requirement, please mention this from the very first point of contact so that we can assess whether we can take on the project and whether any different charges may apply. Submitting a request does not in itself constitute confirmation of availability or a deadline.
Please send a brief description of the project, the service required, the language, the approximate length and the deadline. If the text is intended for a specific journal or publisher, please also include the relevant guidelines. The method of delivery and the appropriate file format will be agreed upon in our next correspondence. An editable file, such as a Word document, makes editing easier; PDFs or scanned material will need to be checked first.
Where the file format permits, delivery with tracked changes and comments can be agreed, so that edits are clearly visible. The number and scope of revisions, as well as the timeframe for their submission, are specified in the quotation. New material or changes beyond the originally agreed scope are assessed separately prior to their implementation.
We can assist with editing and adapting the text to the guidelines of the selected journal, formatting the references and, subject to agreement, revising the text based on reviewers’ comments. We do not guarantee acceptance or publication: the decision rests with the journal’s editors and reviewers. Authors retain responsibility for the data, content and final approval of the article.
