P&PS is putting this in place with the same goal as usual: making members of our community better scientists by using skills from within the community.
This is for English proofreading for papers, conference proceedings, grant applications, etc.
* We don't do RUSHED proofreading (it takes >1 week)
* This service has a "pay what you can" policy
* We only accept Word documents
Rates elsewhere: Proofreading of scientific manuscripts usually costs 18-20 EUR per 1000 words if written in B-level proficiency English.
Rate suggested by P&PS: 10 EUR per 1000 words, with a minimum of 10 EUR (and 5 EUR as a transaction fee)
Moreover, since P&PS is about strengthening our research community, the cost includes an (optional) face-to-face meeting with the proofreader where you can ask follow-up questions about comments and suggestions they left, and work with them to make sure your ideas are coming across clearly in your final draft.
