Error-free texts: Detailed proofreading and editing
The difference between proofreading and editing lies in the details. While proofreading focuses on eliminating formal errors such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation, editing goes a step further. It includes stylistic revision, checking the argumentation and structure, as well as adapting to academic standards. 1a-Studi offers various levels of correction, including stylistic improvements and review of academic terminology, as described on the Academic Editing page.
In proofreading, we ensure consistent spelling and the correct application of German orthographic rules. Editing, on the other hand, takes the entire text into account and optimizes it for intelligibility, coherence, and academic precision. This ensures that your work is not only error-free but also leaves a convincing impression. Studi-Lektor employs over 130 specialists, including subject experts with doctorates and university experience, to ensure content accuracy and relevance, as explained on studi-lektor.de.
We offer both services to ensure your academic work is perfect in every respect. Whether you need pure error correction or comprehensive stylistic revision – you are in the best hands with Mentoc. Our goal is to deliver a text that is not only correct but also convincing and professional. Further information about our services can be found on our page on editing.
Originality guaranteed: Plagiarism check for your work
Plagiarism can have serious consequences, ranging from the revocation of academic degrees to legal repercussions. Therefore, a thorough plagiarism check is essential to ensure the originality of your academic work. At Mentoc, we offer a comprehensive plagiarism check that compares your work against databases of academic publications and uncovers potential plagiarism.
Our plagiarism check not only includes comparisons with published texts but also checks for incorrect citation practices and missing references. We assist you in correctly citing your sources and avoiding plagiarism. In this way, you can be confident that your work meets the highest academic standards. 1a-Studi provides a plagiarism check & AI scan to ensure comprehensive compliance with academic standards, as described at 1a-studi.de.
Rely on our expertise and protect yourself from the risks of plagiarism. With our plagiarism check, you can submit your work with peace of mind and focus on your research results. We ensure that your work not only impresses in content but is also ethically sound. For more information on plagiarism, see our article What is Editing?.

The formatting and layout of your academic work are crucial for the first impression.

At Mentoc, we offer comprehensive formatting and layout design that aligns with the requirements of your university or publisher.

Selecting Experts: How to Find the Right Editor
The choice of the right editor is crucial for the success of your academic editing. Pay attention to the editor's expertise in the relevant field, their experience in academic editing, and their native language proficiency (German or English). A doctorate or comparable qualification is another mark of quality. Korrektur + Lektorat in Bonn employs professional publishing editors and academic editors with doctorates, who possess expertise in science and practice, as described on korrektur-plus-lektorat.de.
Read testimonials and customer reviews to get an idea of the quality of the editor's work. Check references and compare prices from different providers. Look out for transparent pricing models and consider additional costs for express service or weekend processing. A professional academic editing service should be worth its price, but not unnecessarily expensive.
Get in touch with the editor and clarify your questions. A good editor is characterized by quick and competent responses to inquiries, individual advice and support, as well as the opportunity for further consultation. At Mentoc, we place great emphasis on open and transparent communication with our clients. This ensures that you are completely satisfied with our service.
Transparent Costs: Overview of Prices and Financing
The pricing of editing services depends on various factors such as the length of the text, the type of service (proofreading, editing, plagiarism check), the editing time, and the qualification of the editor. Compare prices from different providers and look for transparent pricing models. Ask about student discounts and explore funding options through universities or foundations. Mentorium offers academic proofreading & editing for a bachelor’s thesis, as described on mentorium.de.
At Mentoc, we offer you fair and transparent prices for our editing services. Our prices depend on the length of the text and the type of service. We provide student discounts and accept various payment methods like PayPal, bank transfer, and credit card. This way, you can pay for our services conveniently and securely.

Ethically correct: Legality and limits of proofreading
The use of editing services is legal, as long as the author's own work remains recognizable. The editing is meant to improve the text, not to create it. Avoid ghostwriting and plagiarism, as they are illegal and ethically reprehensible. Editing must not replace the authorship of the writer. UNKER explicitly rejects ghostwriting and plagiarism for ethical and legal reasons, as described on unker.com.
At Mentoc, we place great importance on adhering to ethical standards. Our editors are instructed to respect the author's own work and to make no changes that would call into question the writer's authorship. We offer you a comprehensive plagiarism check to ensure that your work is ethically sound.
Privacy and confidentiality are a given for us. We treat your submitted texts confidentially and ensure that your personal data is protected. Rely on our expertise and benefit from our ethically correct and professional service. Further information on privacy can be found in our privacy policy.
Successful cooperation: Tips for collaboration
Clear communication is the key to successful collaboration with an editor. Share your specific requirements and desires with the editor, inform them about the target audience and purpose of your work, and provide them with the formatting guidelines of your university or publisher. Be open to feedback and ready to make changes to your text. Lektorat Wissenschaft offers a feedback report of 3 to 5 pages covering structure, academic language, and individual recommendations, as described on lektorat-wissenschaft.de.
Have realistic expectations of the editing. An editor can improve your text but cannot replace the missing original work. An editor can correct errors but cannot conduct the research. Allow enough time for the editor's review and take into account time for your own revision and implementation of changes.
At Mentoc, we place great value on a collaborative partnership with our clients. Our editors are always available for questions and suggestions. We support you in optimally shaping your academic work and achieving your goals. Contact us today to learn more about our services.
