Vadim Kazakbaev, Post-Graduate Student

Ural Federal University, Russia

I contacted "English Proofreading Experts" because of the tight deadline: the paper had to be submitted to the conference in the next 3 days and the length of the paper was quite large. The proofread paper was reviewed and accepted by the English-speaking organizing committee of the 18th International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems, whose proceedings are indexed by Scopus and Web of Science, as well as by the conference organizing committee. The proceedings are indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, as well as in the authoritative digital library "IEEE Xplore". There were no complaints about the quality of the text, and the price was also quite acceptable.

I have repeatedly contacted the "English Proofreading Experts" team to proofread and format my papers for publication in international journals such as Modern Applied Science (Scopus) and Applied Mechanics and Materials. The reviews have always been successful.
