Notes

These rates include the first edit, author/editor discussion, and the second edit.
There is a 5-page minimum order size. (Shorter documents will be charged as for 5 pages.)
One standard page = 200 words (counted using the word count feature of Microsoft Word). The number of pages is calculated by dividing the word count by 200 and rounding down to the nearest 0.1 pages (Example: 3756 words = 18.7 pages). The word count includes the title, abstract, keywords, main body, tables, table captions, and figure captions. The word count excludes the author names, affiliations, addresses, and list of references.
The list of references and text in the figures are checked free of charge^*.
^*This applies only to figures containing a reasonable number of words. Text-intensive figures containing many words, such as complex flowcharts, will incur an additional charge based on the word count.
Examples of fees:
615 words = 3.0 pages → 5 pages (minimum): 5 × ¥3,350
5,000 words = 25.0 pages: (20 × ¥3,350) + (5 × ¥2,750)
9,275 words = 46.3 pages: (20 × ¥3,350) + (20 × ¥2,750) + (6.3 × ¥2,500)
The turnaround times are in business days and do not include weekends, public holidays, and company holidays.
A surcharge may apply to documents requiring excessively heavy editing. If this applies, we will inform you in advance.
We cannot accept machine-translated documents for editing.
