What is Academic Language Editing?
​
Academic language editing is a service that improves the language and formatting of your document. Highly skilled professional language editors have an understanding of what is required in academic work including journal articles, PhD and master’s theses, grant applications, book chapters and presentations.
The language editor has an eye for detail such as typographical or grammatical errors, and problems such as poorly constructed sentences, or improper formatting, referencing or citing. The academic editor’s strong language skills will ensure that your document meets the highest possible academic standards for examination.
Specifically, how will academic language editing help you?
-
The academic editor helps you to organise your ideas in a logical, concise and clear manner, making the work easy to read.
-
Their subject-matter expertise will ensure that you use the correct terminology, and level of formality while making sure that your intended audience clearly understands what your work is about.
-
Your article is thoroughly edited in a marked-up version so that you can see every change that the editor makes. The editor ensures that awkwardly phrased sentences are written clearly with attention to grammar and punctuation. They will flag repetitive information for removal, will highlight problems with potential plagiarism, and ensure that your manuscript adheres to university or guidelines for formatting and referencing.
An academic editor ensures that your written work is of the highest standard. Excellent academic writing opens the doors to success in your studies. This is where our editors can assist you.
However, it should be noted that, in terms of ethical practice, our editors will not write anything on your behalf – they will take what you present and bring it up to standard. They also do not stand in for your university supervisor
