Considerations When Offering Professional Academic Editing Services

With our professional editing and proofreading services, one can rest assured of papers that are written in the correct language and formatted according to the preferred style guide. We are genuinely concerned about the academic success of our clients, hence, the reason all orders received are assigned to subject experts in each discipline. The edited papers are free from all grammar and spelling errors and inconsistencies and are compliant with all the instructions, guidelines, and word count requirements. Some of the factors considered by each academic paper editor in our company include:

1. Types of academic documents to be edited

We provide academic editing services in all scientific writings and academic texts including:

• Professional journal articles.
• Cover letters.
• Marketing materials.
• Research papers.
• Theses and dissertations.
• Capstone projects.
• Term papers, assignments, and other documents.

Regardless of the document type, we ensure strict compliance with all the editing requirements and instructions to enhance the quality of the client's work and increase the chances of acceptance, approval, and support from the target audience.

2. The purpose of editing in academic writing

Our expert editors ensure the purpose and objectives of conducting the process are clearly defined to determine the best approach for accomplishing the task. With the possession of extensive experience, our academic editors help students in:

• Organizing and structuring ideas logically.
• Ensuring appropriate word choice, terminology, and tone of voice.
• Determining the extent to which the writing is compliant with the target audience's requirements, guidelines, and instructions.
• Detecting errors and inconsistencies and highlighting them for corrections.
• Identifying repetition, wordiness, and redundancy in writing.

3. Feedback from mentors, supervisors, or journal editors

In a situation where a student submits an academic paper to a supervisor who then returns it with feedback and suggestions for re-editing, we address all the comments and suggestions while seeking clarifications when necessary. Our experienced editors assist in actualizing the pieces of advice and suggestions from the editor from the journal submitting for publication and correcting the paper accordingly.

4. The type/level of academic editing services required

Different levels of editing are required at the various stages of academic writing to ensure appropriate organization and structure at the sentence and paragraph level, logical flow of ideas, and compliance with guidelines and instructions. When performing online editing for students, we cover levels such as:

• Content, developmental, or substantive Editing

Content editing focuses on the overall idea of the entire paper. The level of editing entails adding more information for clarification, moving some sections, or deleting them altogether. In content editing, we review the academic paper to confirm whether it covers all the relevant details, contains accurate claims, the argument is complete and relevant to the purpose and goals of the paper, and the consistency of the claims throughout the paper is supported with sufficient and relevant evidence.

• Line editing

Line editing involves rewording and realigning sentences and paragraphs to improve language usage and flow in the academic paper.

• Copy editing

In copy editing, we review the document for grammar errors, and syntax and ensure that the paper is formatted according to the chosen style guide.

• Proofreading

Proofreading entails reading through the paper to detect any grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, or inconsistencies without changing its content or structure. Proofreading services mainly focus on the finer details of the paper to ensure optimal technical accuracy and correct formatting. Depending on the length and complexity of the document, academic editing and proofreading can be performed simultaneously or separately to enhance quality.

5. The research questions/problem

When providing an academic editing service to a client, we ensure that the original research question is not altered because such a change would necessitate manipulation of the final results for alignment purposes. Once the right editor is assigned a certain order, they strictly conform with the academic writing style guide provided and promote logic in the flow of ideas without changing the query. We ensure strict compliance with the ethics and integrity of research editing.

6. Plagiarism issues

The revision process for academic papers entails detecting and fixing plagiarism issues before submitting the edited document to the target audience. Our editors understand the consequences of plagiarism in academic writing, thus, use relevant strategies such as paraphrasing and use of synonyms to submit plagiarism-free work.

7. The style guide format

The formatting requirements vary with target audiences such as the editors of submitting professional journals or university supervisors and disciplines such as social sciences and humanities. The client should submit the order along with the formatting requirements so that we can meet their expectations during editing. Only the best editors are assigned clients' work for an excellent editing or proofreading service.

Other factors that we consider when editing an academic paper include:

• Understanding of the subject matter of the academic/research paper for an effective editing process.
• Effective use of keywords.
• Academic document types and structures.
• Relevance of the subject matter to the target audience.
• Purpose and logic of the academic paper.
• Repetition and language errors.
• Clarity and conciseness.
• Proper citation of sources.
• Consistency in style and language use.
