Proof-Reading-Service.com provides high-quality academic proofreading and editing services for professors and advanced students of history as well as historians of all kinds.

Advanced historical research tends to be qualitative research, sometimes interwoven with aspects of quantitative research, and this means that an author reporting the results of his or her research must analyse the data collected and determine what is significant and meaningful in order to establish important themes, patterns and categories. Although these processes may be complex, convoluted and unique, they should be thoroughly explained and logically justified for readers. Careful organisation via a structure that makes use of engaging and informative headings, appropriate divisions, and smooth transitions between ideas and procedures is necessary to represent and communicate to readers the progression as well as the subtle twists and turns of an author’s thoughts. Spelling, punctuation and grammar must obviously be correct, while unfamiliar, archaic and specialised terminology must be defined when introduced and used with consistency throughout a document. In most cases an audience of both specialist historians and lay readers should be anticipated, so language that is as simple as possible, short sentences in the active voice and finely focussed paragraphs are usually best, though they can be difficult to achieve when the material discussed is complex. The history editors and proofreaders at Proof-Reading-Service.com are experts in the English language who are also well versed in the style and content of historical documents. They can help you ensure that your writing is communicating with your readers exactly as you intend.

Historical writing tends to make extensive use of sources, including rather obscure primary sources, and citations and references sometimes number in the hundreds within a single document, yet every one of them must be thorough and accurate, and usually follow specific guidelines as well. Quotations can be frequent, and each one must be not only reproduced faithfully, translated accurately (if necessary) and acknowledged appropriately, but also clearly introduced and discussed in your text so that readers understand your reason for quoting it, and your argument as a whole is successfully developed through its use. The dates so frequent in historical writing must be accurate and used with consistency, and it is best if whatever dating conventions you adopt for your document are explained for readers. The history editors and proofreaders at Proof-Reading.Service.com know how important these and other aspects of historical writing are to a successful academic argument, and they can offer corrections and suggestions that will help you present such material in appropriate and effective ways.
