Scribbr’s proofreading services are priced transparently and affordably. Your proofreading rate depends on your word count, selection of services, and turnaround time.
This is such a helpful tool! I would even say that it is an even better version of my old go-to tool that no longer exists. I am SO GRATEFUL that it is so easy to use and has the ability to find ~most~ of the resources I am trying to cite. One of the BEST features is having the ability to create different lists with their own titles--it has been so helpful for my ADHD needs while working through my Masters program! Thank you also for figuring out a way to choose font and size and making it actually paste into documents SO EASILY and ready to go!!! If I were to make two requests for improvement: First would be that it would just keep me logged in, especially since I have literally no private nor financial information attached. The site is, in my opinion, overcommitted to timing out an account user. Even in one writing session, I will return to the page with my next reference and it looks as though the page has a bug or an error. To fix this I have to take what I feel are unnecessary steps to refresh the page and go through the login process again even when I feel like I really was not gone for very long. The second request is that there be a way to autogenerate more obscure resources (I am admittedly biased, but prioritizing this being available in APA 7th ed. would be the best! haha). And I have also noticed that when there's a reference that the site cannot find, the manual option will ask for information that is not typically needed for APA, and the final resulting citation does not typically appear to maintain the chosen formatting style. So I suppose that is more like 2.5 requests since the last one isn't too bothersome. Anyway, I'm just overall ridiculously grateful I found Scribbr so early on in my graduate pursuits! I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to move efficiently through their research and delivery of information.
Read review on TrustpilotHow easy it is compared to other websites
Read review on TrustpilotIt's easy to cite sources by inputting their names and having them procured.
Read review on TrustpilotAmazing! This software could have saved many college students from dropping out 10 years ago. Also, I used to use this website before the copy and paste feature 2016 or so. The new update is outstanding! My Bibliographies in APA format are perfect!

Read review on TrustpilotThis cite is a life saver when needing to cite my sources. It is easy to navigate and basically fool proof!
Read review on TrustpilotScribbr makes my life so much easier when I have to cite the text that I use. Having the MLA citation generator is really helpful. And saves my time :)
Read review on TrustpilotI use Scribbr for its citation generator, which is a fantastic, time saving tool. As a student, composing research essays is time consuming enough...but it's even more so if you have to go back and type in all of the resources you drew your information from. I love that you can choose from a variety of known citation styles. Often you can copy/paste a link into the citation generator, and it will automatically format the layout of the source using the format you choose. Even when I have to go in and edit, I love how the citation parts are further broken down so that you understand what is required, recommended or optional to include in citing sources. Thank you so much for creating such a helpful tool for students and professionals!

To make the process as smooth as possible, simply upload your whole document and select only the pages that you want us to proofread and edit.
You’ll only be charged for the number of words on the pages you selected. To save you some money, we will automatically deselect your table of contents and reference list!
Your editor improves the overall organisation of your document. Are the headings clear and do they fit well with the content of each paragraph? Does every section contain the right information?
In addition to direct changes and comments, our editors use checklists for the abstract, introduction, discussion and conclusion.
The Structure Check starts at £0.0055 per word.
Your editor reads your thesis as a normal reader would. Does the story make sense? Is it clear and logical? A fresh pair of eyes can notice things you tend to overlook yourself.
Using checklists our editors will check for contradictions, a logical order of sections, and the clarity of your arguments, concepts and ideas.
The Clarity Check starts at £0.0055 per word.
Our citation experts check your reference list, in-text citations and footnote citations to make sure you consistently follow the guidelines of your citation style.
We are experts in APA Style, but we can help you with almost all citation styles. The citation expert also checks your in-text citations against your reference list to make sure they match.
Citation Editing costs £2.00 per source.
Want to contact us directly? No problem. We are always here for you.
Our support team is here to help you daily via chat, WhatsApp, email, or phone between 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CET.
Our APA experts default to APA 7 for editing and formatting. For the Citation Editing Service you are able to choose between APA 6 and 7.
Yes, if your document is longer than 20,000 words, you will get a sample of approximately 2,000 words. This sample edit gives you a first impression of the editor’s editing style and a chance to ask questions and give feedback.
You will receive the sample edit within 24 hours after placing your order. You then have 24 hours to let us know if you’re happy with the sample or if there’s something you would like the editor to do differently.
Yes, you can upload your document in sections.
We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.
However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if
Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance that your previous editor is not available.
If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the Scribbr Improvement Model and will deliver high-quality work.
Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.
Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.
If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!
Yes! Our editors are all native speakers, and they have lots of experience editing texts written by ESL students. They will make sure your grammar is perfect and point out any sentences that are difficult to understand. They’ll also notice your most common mistakes, and give you personal feedback to improve your writing in English.
Every Scribbr order comes with our award-winning Proofreading & Editing service, which combines two important stages of the revision process.
For a more comprehensive edit, you can add a Structure Check or Clarity Check to your order. With these building blocks, you can customize the kind of feedback you receive.
You might be familiar with a different set of editing terms. To help you understand what you can expect at Scribbr, we created this table:
| Types of editing | Available at Scribbr? |
|---|---|
| Proofreading Correction of superficial mistakes, such as typos, misspellings, punctuation errors and consistency errors. |
Yes! This is the “proofreading” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with editing. |
| Copy editing Focus on grammar, syntax, style, tone and the conventions of the field. The editor also considers the internal logic of the text and flags any obvious contradictions. |
Yes! This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading. |
| Line editing Focus on language, style, concision and choices. The editor helps you strengthen your story, polish your sentences and ensure that your use of language drives home your ideas. |
Yes! Select the Structure Check and Clarity Check to receive a comprehensive edit equivalent to a line edit. |
| Developmental editing (i.e. content editing, substantive editing) This is the first step of the editing process and applies to very early drafts. The editor helps you structure your ideas, decide what story to tell and find direction for your writing. |
No. This kind of editing involves heavy rewriting and restructuring. Our editors cannot help with this. |
When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.
However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.
This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.
Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!
After your document has been edited, you will receive an email with a link to download the document.
The editor has made changes to your document using ‘Track Changes’ in Word. This means that you only have to accept or ignore the changes that are made in the text one by one.
It is also possible to accept all changes at once. However, we strongly advise you not to do so for the following reasons:
You choose the turnaround time when ordering. We can return your dissertation within 24 hours, 3 days or 1 week. These timescales include weekends and holidays. As soon as you’ve paid, the deadline is set, and we guarantee to meet it! We’ll notify you by text and email when your editor has completed the job.
Very large orders might not be possible to complete in 24 hours. On average, our editors can complete around 13,000 words in a day while maintaining our high quality standards. If your order is longer than this and urgent, contact us to discuss possibilities.
Always leave yourself enough time to check through the document and accept the changes before your submission deadline.
Scribbr is specialised in editing study related documents. We check:
The fastest turnaround time is 24 hours.
You can upload your document at any time and choose between three deadlines:
