No, AI is not replacing proofreaders. Services like Wiley’s English Language Editing use experienced editors who not only correct language issues but also improve clarity, tone, flow, and subject-specific accuracy—something AI alone cannot fully achieve. Human proofreaders are especially important for academic writing, where precision, context, and discipline-specific terminology are critical.
| Aspect of academic editing | AI checks | Human expert checks |
|---|---|---|
| Grammar and punctuation | Basic revisions to grammar, punctuation, and syntax | |
| Spelling and proofreading | Basic revisions to address inconsistencies and errors | |
| Tips and recommendations | ||
| Style compliance | ||
| Field-specific terminology and phrasing | ||
| Structure, logic, and flow | ||
| In-depth feedback | ||
| Technical review of the research |
Your document is edited by experienced subject-matter language experts who carefully refine the language and grammar, improve clarity, and ensure consistency throughout the manuscript.

Yes, Wiley offers editing services for a wide range of academic documents, not just journal manuscripts. Whether you're preparing a thesis, dissertation, grant proposal, conference paper, or book manuscript, expert editors can help improve the language, clarity, and overall quality of your work.
Standard Editing focuses on checking word choice, sentence clarity, grammar, spelling and punctuation. It does not include improvements to the manuscript's structure and flow. Due to its limited scope, manuscripts submitted for Standard Editing may be eligible for a Wiley Editing Certificate, but its issuance is not guaranteed.
Advanced Editing includes everything offered in Standard Editing, along with checks for manuscript structure and natural flow. Authors also receive an editing summary explaining the key changes and the reasons behind them, helping them improve their future writing. Because of its comprehensive nature, manuscripts edited under the Advanced Editing service are guaranteed to receive a Wiley Editing Certificate.
Premium Editing includes all the benefits of Advanced Editing, along with edits to your responses to reviewer comments and crosschecking them with the revised manuscript for making enhancements and maintaining consistency.
Scientific Editing provides comprehensive support to prepare your manuscript for journal submission. The service includes language editing, an in-depth technical review by subject matter experts, a Scientific Review Report with actionable feedback, reviewer response letter editing, an editing certificate, and re-editing support for up to 365 days (subject to service terms). While the service strengthens the quality and presentation of your manuscript, it does not guarantee journal acceptance.
