PefCor

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We are a network of PhD holders or candidates of various academic orientations, highly experienced in paper reviewing, copyediting, and proofreading. Depending on the required service and scientific field the most suitable associates are enabled, guaranteeing the result.
Pefcor is under the wing of Eos Cultural Assosiacion a nonprofit organization based in Peloponnisos, Greece aiming to promote culture, science & education. Its modest fees are used to cover expenses and give back to the community.

Depending on the required level of service, a suitable associate will correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, improve the flow and inner cohesion of the paper, eliminate any ambiguous sentences or platitudes, and ensure that the writing is clear and concise while meeting the formatting requirements of the targeted journal. Usually, the returned papers have up to 20% word count reduction (advanced copyediting).

Our editors sign confidentiality agreements when they join our team. Under no circumstances will the submitted work be shared, distributed to, or seen by any third party. The confidentiality of your research is our highest priority.

We urge you to delete your files after the paper/thesis completion and delivery.

Upon request, our team members may use the track changes feature in Microsoft Word to clearly highlight the improvements to the document. Comments may be placed providing the necessary explanations.

Manuscripts in MS Word or Libre Office Writer format are accepted. If a suitable template file is provided, we accept manuscripts in rich text format (.rtx) or even plain text (.txt) files.

At the current phase the upload limit is 8MB per file and uploads are limited to registered users only. If you want to upload bigger files, please contact the administration through the user area. Uploading unrelated files or unauthorized use of the upload utility (e.g. as a hard drive) leads to user blocking.
We urge you to delete your files after the paper/thesis completion and delivery, mainly for safety and confidentiality reasons.

Yes, for an extra fee.

The delivery time depends on the required service. Generally, it is not longer than a week for papers but it can be hastened to 48 hours with the use of the Express option.

We accept payments via e-banking, PayPal, or Western Union money transfer. Guidelines will be sent after receiving your manuscript and agreeing upon the level of the required service.

A partial waiver of editing/consulting fees may be decided in case of lack of funding, excessive length of the submitted manuscript, multiple submitted manuscripts, or other sound reasons provided during submission. The submitter has to declare that a waiver is requested during the submission of the manuscript in the Tasks section of the Registered Area. The exact amount has to be stated and a solid justification has to be provided which will be evaluated by the Pefcor administration. The waiver will be denied if these rules are not followed.

No. Before an editor is assigned to your manuscript the order must be paid. The deadline starts as soon as we’ve received your payment.
