 Importance
Editors' comments:
"...my current view is that the author should take as many steps as possible to make their article right before it is submitted..."

"... authors have to be responsible for ensuring at least reasonable language."

"Poor English is a worrying problem, especially when the scientific work is novel and deserves publication."

 How much do you charge?
A: It is hard to quote a single rate because of the wide variation in difficulty of the articles that will be submitted. Below is the approximate range for a six-page article.
      All-in-one package: RMB3,000–8,000. (The combination of services for translation, research advising, editing, and polishing of your published Chinese article.))
       Expert Advising and Polishing: RMB2000—60,000. (Our advanced overseas Chinese Team will give academic advice on the research, target publishers, and quality of writing skills of your English article. Our English editors will do the polishing. A list of matching international publishers with names and contact information will be provided at the final stage.)
      English Polishing: RMB1,000-30,000 (You can use our English polishing service only if you are confident with your research and/or have published English articles.)

If you need any combination of different services, you could do the calculation following the basic fee guideline provided above, or feel free to contact us for a customized quote. If you need a free quote on your article, please follow the steps below: You can e-mail us or upload your article after signing in on our website. We will have an overseas Chinese team member with matching background to estimate the amount of time and work needed, and to give the quote. Contracts can be put into effect and services provided once you give us an affirmative response.

How do you protect copyright of clients?
A: We have the advanced back-end workflow procedure management software. We have detailed records and backup for every step of your article. We can track every single person working on your article and the time expended thereby, as well as provide you with strong evidence if you think your article may face plagiarism charges. Keep in mind that all of our editors are well educated with advanced degrees, and they completely understand the severe results of plagiarism. In addition to all that, the copyright law in the United States is very tough. Your copyright will be under maximum protection. However, if you are in violation of plagiarism provisions of the law, we do NOT take any responsibility and are not liable for any law cases in which your article may become involved.

How do you protect the clients' privacy?
A: We completely understand that some authors would like to keep their names and contact methods private, even from our editors. We will hide this information before we send the article out to our editors. We also strongly suggest that you hide this information in your Word files. Our back-end management software can automatically take care of most orders. The administrator is the only person who has access to your personal information. Your privacy will have absolute and complete protection. In addition, all of our staff sign a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement when they begin working with PaperTalks.

How long does it take to polish a paper?
A: See below for a guideline on the time it takes to polish a paper. If you have any special requests, please feel free to contact us. Expedited service is also available. Expedited service on English polishing can be arranged easily since we have contracted full-time editors and business partners. We have all the resources needed to provide fast service on Chinese-to-English translation. We can arrange for the experts on our overseas advanced Chinese Team to give academic advice on the research, target publishers, and improvements that can be made regarding the writing skills displayed in your English article. All of our overseas advanced Chinese Team members have full-time jobs and will perform this service on an after-hours basis. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this scheduling situation may bring to any of our customers.
      Chinese-To-English Translation and Polishing: Translation and Polishing: about three to five weeks, since it involves more people.
      English Academic Advice and Polishing: Advice and Polishing: approximately two to four weeks.
      English Polishing only: likely three days to a week.

Can you provide Chinese invoices?
A: Our representatives in China will provide receipts for any translation, editing, and polishing services so that you can obtain your reimbursement. If you have any special requests in this area, please feel free to contact us.

Are your payment methods flexible?
A: In addition to the traditional electronic wire transaction, we also take payments through all kinds of e-pay systems such as AliPay and China Bank, etc. We take almost all credit and debit cards.

I have foreign friends to polish paper for me, so I don't need your services.
A: Yes, of course you may avail yourself of that option. However, we have had customers in this situation who have told us they would prefer our complete services. They used to edit each other's English articles and then ask friends or friends' friends in the United States to do the polishing. Usually, though, this took too long. With our services, you will free yourself to stay focused on your research. Our uniquely qualified overseas advanced Chinese Team and our native linguists will provide excellent academic and language services. The receipts provided by our representatives in China will allow you to be reimbursed for any project cost. You don't have to take money out of your own pocket, and need not worry about the hassle of dealing with the exchange rate.

Can you help me translate my published Chinese papers into English?
A: Yes. We will provide you with services for Chinese-to-English translation and English polishing. Our overseas advanced Chinese Team members have gained their advanced degrees in various fields and are fluent in English. With their help, you will be freed to stay focused on your research.

What are the main differences between your company and others?
A: If you were to ask other translation companies if they could give academic advice, the answer you’d get is usually "No." Other translation companies only take care of your language needs, and do not do anything about assisting you with your research (such as, providing you with advice on research methods). However, we have a large, dedicated team with doctoral degrees. An editor with a professional background matching yours will not only perfect your English, but also help take your research to a new, world-class level of the highest quality.

What assurances can I be offered regarding the quality of your services?
A: Our overseas advanced Chinese Team members have gained their doctoral degrees, or are working on their doctoral degrees. They have training and experience working on successfully published English documents. They are outstanding in their respective fields, and can provide you with consistently top-quality service. In addition, our American English language editorial team consists of 100 percent native English speakers, which is certain to make a positive impact on prospective publishers. The impressive combination of outstanding academic work and clear, concise, and accurate language has been proven to significantly increase the prospects of publication of submitted papers.

Can I view some of the published papers that have been processed through your services
A: The example below is a publication by Dr. Liu that was edited and polished by PaperTalks. With his consent, we are showing part of it to you for your reference.
