What Does Expert Academic Editing and Proofreading Offer the Research Author?
Stated in the simplest terms, expert academic editing offers authors the opportunity to prepare and submit clearer, more professional and more publishable research manuscripts. Our academic proofreading services ensure that all errors of typing, grammar, spelling and punctuation are eliminated. Our academic editors are experts at helping authors clarify intended meaning and establish structural and stylistic consistency as appropriate throughout a research document. They are also familiar with the instructions and guidelines of peer-reviewed journals and presses, and know exactly what adjustments need to be made to meet all publication requirements. Their academic editing and proofreading services can ensure that you submit the best possible manuscript to the acquisitions editor of your target journal or press, and give the best possible impression of your knowledge, methods and abilities to the peer reviewers who assess your research. If, on the other hand, a journal editor or peer reviewer requests changes to your manuscript before it can be published, a professional academic editor who specialises in your discipline and field of study can help you complete many of the necessary revisions and achieve successful publication.

Exactly What Will I Receive from Your Academic Proofreading Services?
Most of our clients send their writing to us as Microsoft Word documents (although we can also work with other file formats) and our academic editors then make necessary changes and add helpful comments directly to our clients’ electronic files. These changes and comments constitute the academic editing and proofreading services we offer and consist of
- Corrections to eliminate all grammar, spelling, punctuation and typing errors, to establish consistency in stylistic and structural aspects of a document, and to clarify the intended meaning of the author when the writing is ambiguous or potentially misleading.
- Adjustments to observe the author instructions or publishing guidelines of the client’s target journal or press. References, abbreviations, notes, headings, tables and various other elements of research manuscripts frequently require adjustment during the academic editing process.
- Explanations of why the academic editor has made certain changes, particularly extensive or complex changes when the reasons may not be immediately obvious to the author.
- Suggestions for further changes that are not strictly necessary, but would nonetheless improve the writing style, sentence structure, authorial voice, organisation or other aspects of the research document if the author chooses to make them.
Our academic proofreading services are offered to each client in two versions of his or her original document. One is a clean version in which the changes made by the academic editor are incorporated into the text. The second is a tracked version that shows the editor’s work and gives the author creative control over which changes are accepted and which are rejected.
