guidelines that accompany each service description. We do not accept
bound documents or documents formatted other than double-spaced with
the exception of proofreading or copy editing galleys, blue lines,

We also will not edit documents (manuscripts) in hard copy presented

Such documents received will be returned to the client. Deposits for
our services are non-refundable. All prices (including
discounts and special offers) are subject to change at the company's

Copyright/Plagiarism:
RPES neither endorses nor encourages copyright violations or
plagiarism. In the event that your work contains citations,
attributions, quotations or other similar referencing, we will research
the possible correct sources indicating either the best primary source
or most-recent source (depending upon the nature of the document).
However, the client is responsible for ensuring that such information
is correct and correctly cited or attributed to its orignator in the
final copy that gets presented for publication. In the event that we do
not see appropriate references (where necessary) we will alert the
client about the omission and will make suggestions for corrections or
point the client to the possible proper sources for correct
attribution. Even so, it is again the client's ultimate responsibility
to make sure that all references and citations are listed and correctly
attributed. In the event that documents presented to us for
editing seems like it is an already published work (in printed or

students at anyl level (including graduate students). We will proofread
work and where there is unclear content, offer suggestions with copious
commentary.
