Why Include a Language Editing Certificate with Your Submission?

Many high-impact journals, including those indexed in Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), require authors from non-native English-speaking backgrounds to submit proof of professional language editing along with their research work. Our certificate provides peer reviewers and editors with the assurance that your research is presented with linguistic clarity and in an academic writing style.

Our official Language Editing Certificate is verified “Proof of Editing” for editorial boards at major publishing houses, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, IEEE, and MDPI. When you attach this certificate to your cover letter, you show the journal editor that your manuscript has been thoroughly reviewed and refined by a native English subject-matter expert. This critical document helps you bypass the initial language screening so your work is judged entirely on the actual research content and findings, and not on any language issues.

Journal Acceptance

Trusted by Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis.

University Compliance

Widely accepted by universities for PhD/Master’s thesis submission and VIVA defense.

Zero-Risk Guarantee

We guarantee your paper will not be rejected due to language quality.

Verified Authenticity

Each certificate contains a unique CERT # for publisher verification.

Thumb up to PM proofreading services that provided the necessary information with a fast response before and after to perform on my proofreading Ph.D. thesis. It surfaces up error based on the engineering perspective view. I got my Prof.’s approval for the first time passed without any comment and proceed submission thesis to the next step. Great job to PM Proofreading Services. It is recommended and encourage to the student or publisher to submit their thesis for English proofreading through to them. Thank You to PM Proofreading Services.

Wong, Universiti Malaya

The response and proofreading service are quick. The entire dissertation was accepted with zero grammar issues or comments from examiners. I am very satisfied with the services. Cheers!

Oliver, Adelaide University

They have the best team- quick and friendly e-mail responses and amazingly fast proofreading services at an affordable price. Recieved my thesis in less than 5 days. Sounded much better and citations plus reference list were all perfected as well. I would highly recommend PM for all your proofreading needs! :)

Official Editing Certificate FAQs

Is this certificate mandatory for journal submission?

Most journals require it. High-impact publishers (including Elsevier, Springer, and MDPI) strongly recommend or even enforce an English editing certificate for authors from non-native English-speaking backgrounds. Providing this certificate upfront can prevent desk rejections and expedite the peer-review process.

Is the certificate recognized by Scopus and WoS (ISI) journals?

Yes. Our certificates are recognized by all major international publishers. We confirm that your manuscript has been edited by a PhD-level subject-matter expert, meeting the high linguistic standards required for international publication.

Does the certificate guarantee that my paper will be accepted?

The certificate specifically guarantees that your paper will not be rejected based on English language quality. Journal acceptance also depends on your research methodology and findings, but our certification removes “language barriers” from this equation. If a journal rejects your paper only due to English quality, we will re-edit it for free.

Can journals verify the authenticity of my certificate?

Absolutely. Every certificate we issue includes a unique Certificate Number. Journal editors or university boards can contact our support team to verify that the manuscript was professionally edited by PM Proofreading.

Is there an additional cost for the certificate?

No. We provide the Official Language Editing Certificate at no extra charge upon request for all our Manuscript Editing and Proofreading services.

Do I get a certificate if I only order “Basic Proofreading”?

Our certificates are typically reserved for our Editing services, where we perform a thorough English edit on the sentence structure, tone, and overall flow. This level of editing allows us to confidently certify the manuscript for international standards.

What if I make changes to the manuscript after receiving the certificate?

The certificate is valid only for the version of the document we delivered. If you make significant changes or additions, we recommend sending the revised sections back to us for a quick review to ensure the certification remains valid.

Is the certificate accepted by international universities for thesis submission?

Yes. Our certificates are widely used by postgraduate students at UTM, UM, UKM, and other leading international institutions to satisfy the language requirements for thesis submission and VIVA defense.
