I've worked for them as a freelance translator since last year. I've translated 16 papers so far. Although they were a few days late once, they have never missed a single payment. I guess this didn't happen to everyone.

These guys are based in Korea. They also operate under "en-co" and "encorrection." They are crooks and should be avoided at all costs. They never pay on time and have a lot of shady business practices. I've talked to other people who've worked there and all of us are owed at least $10,000 dollars, others much much more. If you're working for them in Korea they don't pay you for months, they don't pay your pension or taxes, and they change your registered address to the company address so they can hide government documents from you. There has also been violence and sexual harassment in the office, and they are breaking several immigration and labor laws.

I have done editing work for Harrisco for a couple of years. I appreciate the flexibility it provides - I can work on my own schedule from anywhere in the world. I really like that I learn new and interesting things every day. I get paid in a timely manner (this was not the case a while back, but they have addressed their financial issues). The people I interact with from the company are always very pleasant and professional. All in all, it has been a positive experience.

I was recruited by this company but declined because I already had a full roster of clients. Their response was to send me harassing, even threatening, emails for at least one week. In addition, please check out the reviews at https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-HARRISCO-RVW*******.htm by people who have worked for them, and hated it.

I have been with Harrisco for almost one year and they have been amazing.
They have a unique payment program where editors receive their payments even before they submit projects. This is alone blew my mind
Their team led by Moojin has been very supportive and I commend them for what they are doing

I have been working as a Freelance Scientific Editor for HARRISCO since 2004. In the initial few years, everything was smooth with timely pays, work schedule and the work load. However, in the past few years, I experienced problems related to heavy delay in the payment. I understood that they were going through a very tough time with financial problems. After a struggle of a couple of years, they slowly started releasing my pending pays in short installments. Since a year or so, their payment mode has been changed and now they are providing ADVANCE PAY for the new assignments.

Be forewarned - you are working for a Korea-based company. You will NOT be paid. I've asked Craigslist to stop allowing their posts since they're clearly scamming Americans.

Note the two 4-star reviews are Koreans attempting to level out the reviews.

Again, be forewarned - you will NOT be paid. And you have zero recourse.

I have been working as a contract substantive editor for Harrisco since Nov. 2016, just after ITT Tech imploded. Mr. Douglass Kim has always paid me in full, even during difficult times. The pay rate is fair, and now editors are paid in advance, My manager, Ms. Hyerim Park, is one of the best I have ever worked with: flexible, consistent, and realistic. The Koreans are world=class scientists. I feel that I am making an important contribution to society by helping them get their research published. I think the negative reviews on here are laughable. They aren't from guys who have worked very long for the company. Aidan A, Kelly, Ph. D (GTU 1980)

I have been working for HARRISCO as a freelance editor since 2017 but more regularly freelancing since 2018. As with any company, there are ups and downs in business that only others who run their own business appreciate. Initially, I was advised that payment will be made every 2 months by wire transfer if you are located in America or elsewhere outside Korea. It was a bit of a challenge because the company was going through hard times, but HARRISCO always paid even though it was late. But now, with the improvement in the company fortune, especially during harsh times (COVID-19 pandemic), I get paid every weekday (except on those days when there is no work or it is a holiday in Korea) in advance via PayPal, and the manager assigns enough work to cover the payment. I work quite hard and fast, and turn in the edited manuscripts promptly and without missing the deadline. And the management is very friendly. So, I sincerely appreciate the HARISCO management. Thank you

Harrisco's academic services are very helpful for us living in Seoul.

We, using English as a second language, have some difficulties in expressing our views on the sophisticated business and academic field. In that case, the services of translation and proofreading provided by some brands like Harrisco are so useful for me, maybe most Asians.

I know the brand Harrisco very well, uses their sevices frequently since I have known the brand several years. They are kind, devoted and sincere, though sometimes some dissatisfaction. There're some brands supplying this kind of language services and most of the brands are small business. So, there have been many ups and downs in their business management, but they are never so bad as somebody in this American website criticizes.

The brand 'Harrisco' is, also, not so big scale, but I know they have the longest history and the largest scale of client lists in Seoul. I hope this kind of service prosper healthily in Korea and all Asian regions.

Finally, if you're non English native speaker, like me, I recommend this kind of language services, especially Harrisco. Always, good luck for you!

I've been editing for Harrisco as a U.S. based part-time editor for almost four years (with one year off). Early in that time there were certainly some issues with on-time payment for completed assignments – which was the reason for me taking a break.

The company CEO continued to communicate periodically by email, promising all backpays would be completed and every month or so, deposits were made to my account in a good faith effort to ‘square the ledger'. The apparently genuine desire to fulfil its obligations, convinced me to resume taking assignments – in particular with a new payment system that didn't require waiting until the end of the month. Payment is now made by Paypal for each individual assignment.

Since I re-started (about 18 months ago), all payments have been made strictly on time and furthermore ALL of the backpay was paid. I have heard the company had some difficulties, but that seems to have been resolved. My experience over the last year and a half has been extremely positive and all of my interactions with the company have convinced me, they are highly professional and reputable.

The support staff I have worked with have been great – clear and early communication with them on issues such as how much work you can handle and deadlines, helps enormously. I am a part timer and only have limited number of hours to devote – and they have respected that.

Thanks Harrisco!
Harrisco Service is loved by many academic researchers in non-English-speaking countries. Since it was founded in 1997, Harrisco has provided service such as English translation, proofreading, and publishing academic papers of researchers working in South Korea and the Asia region in foreign journals over the past 18 years. Many scholars in Asia who have used Harriscos services are sending their thanks.
Seoul National University, Professor Song: I worked in perfect harmony with the proofreader. I have also recommended Harrisco to other professors. I am grateful for the proofreading services of Harrisco.
KAIST, Professor Han: Thanks for efforts you have made in helping the presentation of theses of researchers who are poor at English. The proofreaders at Harrisco have concisely corrected the sentences and noticed words that are out of place. I have admired reading the nicely proofread sentences. Thanks for dealing with the whole process in good faith.
Korea University, Professor Do: Despite a tight schedule, Harrisco has finished the work in good time. I have confidence in Harriscos translating and proofreading services: the level of work is 10 out of 10. I send my gratitude.
