Quality Assurance for English Editing & Chinese-to-English Translation
Wallace places great importance on the quality of academic English editing, academic translation, and manuscripts being prepared for journal submission. Every manuscript represents an author's research, submission schedule, and academic reputation.
Our quality assurance extends beyond file delivery. We provide editing certificates, quality review, post-editing Q&A, and confidentiality measures so authors can receive clear and traceable support before and after submission.
- English editing certificates available upon request
- Post-editing questions and quality review
- Support when journals raise language-quality concerns
- Confidential handling of manuscripts and research information
English Editing Certificate
If English is not your first language, some journals or reviewers may ask you to confirm that the manuscript's English grammar and language quality have been professionally reviewed.
Wallace can provide an English editing certificate upon request to help authors document that their manuscript has received professional English editing.
Quality assurance continues after delivery
Academic English editing and Chinese-to-English translation require more than fast turnaround. Authors also need clear post-editing support, quality confirmation, and a reliable way to communicate questions.
If you have questions about an edited or translated file, or receive journal comments related to language quality after submission, Wallace can review the case and relevant documents to determine the appropriate next step.
How Wallace supports manuscript quality
Our post-editing support is designed to give authors a clear path for questions, manuscript changes, and language-related journal feedback.
Ask questions after receiving your edited manuscript
If you have questions about the editing and have not yet submitted the manuscript, you may raise questions about the edited content within three weeks of receiving the completed file.
- Reply to comments left by the editor in the manuscript
- If the manuscript has not been substantially changed or expanded, ask the editor to review relevant questions again
- Leave questions as comments so Wallace can arrange a response from the editing team
- Q&A support is free of charge and has no limit on the number of questions
Advanced editing after manuscript revisions
After the first round of editing, authors may need to revise the manuscript because of updated research, coauthor feedback, or journal reviewer comments.
- If revised or added text is less than 20% of the previous case, a discounted advanced-editing rate is available
- If revised or added text exceeds 20%, the standard rate applies
- If the document is revised independently, the case will no longer qualify for the advanced-editing discount in the future
Support for language-quality feedback after submission
Within 365 days, if a manuscript edited by Wallace is rejected because of English-language issues, please provide the submitted manuscript, the journal or reviewer comments, and your Wallace case number.
- Wallace will conduct an internal quality review
- We will recommend an appropriate follow-up based on the quality-review report
- Keep revision records so the team can clearly distinguish later author changes from the version edited by Wallace
Research and manuscript confidentiality
