Proofreading and Editing
As a researcher and academic proofreader and copyeditor with decades of experience, I fully understand the requirements of international publication. Detail-oriented, I guarantee that your edited manuscript will not be returned with any complaints about the language or writing style.
Articles and book chapters
My proofreading and editing service for scholarly articles and book chapters is for academics keen to submit their work for publication in a peer-reviewed international journal or edited volume. I proofread and edit each manuscript in full compliance with the writing conventions of the knowledge domain, while also observing the requirements of the journal or publisher in question. Carefully considering each adjustment made, I ensure the final manuscript presents the intellectual work of its author(s) to the international academic community in the best possible light.
- correction of grammar, spelling, and punctuation;
- standardization of technical language;
- adjustment of style and register (formality);
- compliance with the journal or publisher’s author guidelines.
- correction of technical language;
- suggestions of ways to improve the logical flow of the text;
