Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 23 July 2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to enquiries and services provided by Scopus Publishing Assistance. A project begins only after the scope, price, payment terms, files and delivery target are confirmed in writing.

Independent publication-support service

Scopus Publishing Assistance provides independent manuscript editing, proofreading, journal-formatting, submission-preparation and reviewer-response support. It is not a journal, publisher, university or indexing database, and no affiliation with Elsevier, Scopus or another third party is implied.

No acceptance or indexing guarantee

Journal acceptance, peer-review outcomes, publication dates, indexing decisions and editorial timelines are controlled by journals, publishers and indexing services. We do not guarantee acceptance, publication, indexing, citations or a particular editorial decision.

Author responsibility

The author remains responsible for originality, research integrity, factual and technical accuracy, ethics approval, consent, authorship, citations, permissions, data, disclosures and the final submission of all work. Authors must review and approve every edited file before use.

Academic integrity

Services are intended to improve clarity, organisation, language, presentation and compliance. We do not support fabricated or falsified research, plagiarism, impersonation, manipulated results, undisclosed authorship or assessed work submitted as another person’s original work.

Scope, quotations and changes

Deliverables, revision limits, prices and estimated timelines are defined in the written quotation or service agreement. Requests outside the confirmed scope, substantial source-file changes or accelerated deadlines may require a revised quotation and timeline.

Delivery and client cooperation

Delivery estimates depend on timely receipt of complete files, instructions, payments and author feedback. A requested deadline is not accepted until confirmed in writing.

Confidentiality and client materials

Clients confirm that they have the right to share submitted material. Reasonable confidentiality safeguards are applied to project files, but clients should not send passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive information through public forms or chat.

Third-party decisions and services

Recommendations about journals, formatting or submission requirements are based on information available at the time of review. Authors should verify current journal instructions and make the final submission decision.
