Our Policies
- How much can I get out of a single order?
- When we have finished editing and/or formatting your document per APA 7th edition (and/or your requested style guide), additional revisions or review of your text will be treated as a separate order. For instance:
- You may wish to make changes or add additional content in response to our comments or feedback from your peers/instructors, and send an updated version of your document to us for another editorial review. In this case, reviewing your added text or other changes will incur additional fees.
- Our fee to review changes to your previously edited text is based on the volume and extent of changes. When we return documents to our clients, we include the instruction to either highlight new text or use the change tracking feature in MS Word during the revision process; that way, we can easily provide a quote for editing the new material only.
- On all statistics orders, we will ask you to confirm the tests you want us to run before we run them to ensure your satisfaction. If, later, you or your advisor wants to change your approach or run different or additional analyses, we are happy to assist you; but running those new tests would be considered a separate order with its own fees
- Upon receipt of the new analysis or analyses, you may further wish to change or add variables in response to the results (or feedback you receive about the results from peers/instructors). In this case, we are happy to complete a second round of analysis. However, re-estimating your model, and/or adding more data, will incur additional fees as a separate order.
- Our fee to re-estimate the model or make changes to the estimation steps will be contingent upon the work required.
- What is your part in our work together?
- In order for us to target the new material and price the second round of edits, data analysis, etc., accurately, we require that you track (i.e., by using the track changes feature in MS Word) or otherwise highlight any and all revisions for clear and easy identification. When we return documents to you, we will remind you to track or highlight your changes as you revise your document; however, it is your responsibility to do so.
- What are ‘objective errors’?
- We ask that all our clients understand that no edit is 100% perfect. Indeed, even the United States Constitution is known to have had at least 13 glaring mistakes and many more less noticeable ones. While our editors are extremely meticulous, experienced, and careful, academic writing is as prone to editorial errors as any other written document, including the Constitution! Please note that finding a few minor errors in the document you receive from us does not mean the editor failed to do their job, particularly with highly technical styles of writing such as APA 7th edition. Therefore, we are grateful for clients who contact us promptly regarding concerns about minor oversights or miscommunications that may have created an error in their document, as customer satisfaction is extremely important to us.
- If you find multiple objective errors after our editing, then please contact us immediately and we will review and correct the errors. We are happy to fix them promptly, and with our apologies. If multiple objective errors remain in the edited file, we will bring in another editor to review your text and make the necessary adjustments.
- We offer refunds in very rare instances of emergency, wherein none of our editors are available to complete your order by a pre-established deadline, or an editor has failed to communicate something about your order that caused you irrevocable damage or setback.
- Our statisticians are similarly meticulous, experienced, and careful. However, finding a few minor errors in tables or graphs, or typos in variable names, etc., does not mean the statistician has failed to do their job. While there should be very few errors, our statisticians are nevertheless as human as our editors and may, on occasion, make mistakes.
- Finding errors in the data sections of your document will not automatically qualify you for a refund. If you find errors in how the data was handled, we will make the corrections promptly to ensure your complete satisfaction with the work.
- If you find multiple objective errors with estimation equations, or the data that was included in the analysis, please contact us immediately and we will review and correct the errors promptly. Our goal is your complete satisfaction.
- How do we schedule consultations?
- We frequently include consultation sessions with editing and statistics orders. In order for your editor or statistician to effectively communicate with you, we ask that you accommodate the scheduling of your consultation within 7 business days of initial editing or data analysis order completion.
- Please let us know if you are unable to make your confirmed consultation time at least 24 hours in advance so that we can reschedule your session immediately without undue inconvenience to your editor or statistician.
- Likewise, if your consultant is for some reason unable to make your session time as planned, please call or text us immediately at (857) 355-8595 We will always work to reschedule your consultation as soon as possible. If at that point, you decide that you no longer need the consultation session, we can refund you the portion of your order.
- When is an order considered closed?
- All orders are considered closed 30 days from the day we complete and return them to you for your review. There are no refunds after 30 days of silence or acceptance from you, regardless of which service we provided.
- We offer 30 days of review time for any materials or feedback we provide. Within this time, we welcome your follow-up questions or requests for additional revisions or adjustments. After 30 days, however, the order is closed and any follow-up questions, edits, or revisions will be treated as a new order with associated fees.
- What is APA Style Solutions’ statement on Academic Integrity?
- We never produce academic writing for our clients, because we take academic integrity extremely seriously. It is our pleasure to assist our clients with expressing their ideas as clearly as possible, but we never help clients produce ideas or compose writing on their behalf. As such, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a passing grade on a piece of writing, or that your research will meet the expectations of your university. However, we can guarantee that we will help improve upon your writing, offer feedback and suggestions on how to improve your argumentation, and provide you with tools such as expert-level APA style research assistance and statistical analysis that will accelerate your progress toward your academic goals. Please see our full statement on these issues here: Academic Integrity Policy.
