Yes. Manuscripts, unpublished research data, interview material, field notes, translated text, reviewer comments, supplementary files, and supporting documents are treated as confidential and accessed only for the proofreading assignment.
10Do you guarantee journal acceptance after proofreading?+
No. Proofreading improves language quality, readability, and presentation, but journal acceptance depends on editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, scholarly merit, originality, methodology, source quality, and journal scope.
11Can you proofread revised manuscripts after peer review?+
