- I think my English is poor. Do I need the rewriting service?
If you think your paper needs rewriting, please ask Ozy. Ozy will determine if rewriting is required and inform you before editing your paper. Generally, if more than 20% of sentences need rewriting (the whole sentence needs correction) then you must use the rewriting service. For rewriting, you do need to choose a Level. We will do the best editing job possible.

- For a journal paper, Level 2 or Level 3 editing?
You can choose. After a Level 2 edit, the reviewer of the journal should not find problems with the English in the paper. For many journals, Level 2 is sufficient. However, if the journal has a high impact factor, choose Level 3 editing. For very technical papers, Level 2 is generally sufficient. For the humanities, Level 3 is often recommended.
