QUICK EDIT FOR ACADEMIC ARTICLES<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|7vw||7vw|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This service is primarily intended for scholars working with English as their second language.\u00a0<\/span>It offers an opportunity for writers to have their work read by a native speaker with\u00a0<\/span>arts knowledge before submitting it for publication, thereby removing the worry that\u00a0<\/span>your article will be rejected on the basis of language proficiency.<\/span><\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|7vw||7vw|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\n
A standard quick edit includes grammar, syntax, clarity of expression, style, and academic tone, as well as identifying things like repetition, wordiness, unusual\u00a0<\/span>or awkward phrasing, and missing citations. The standard edit also includes the\u00a0<\/span>consistent application of your chosen style guide<\/span>. The service can also be tailored to your specific areas of concern. <\/span>For instance, I can\u00a0<\/span>focus on prepositions and idiomatic expression, or on formal academic tone and <\/span>word choice. I can check to make sure that you\u2019re following the chosen style <\/span>guide and that your in-text citations \/ footnotes and reference list \/ bibliography<\/span> match that guide (Chicago, APA, or a journal\u2019s own style).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/span>This service is intended as a first edit to enable scholars to submit articles in their\u00a0second language. Because these papers are usually edited by the publisher too, this\u00a0service offers a single round of edits, without guaranteeing to catch absolutely\u00a0everything. Instead, this service provides value in terms of time spent to mistakes\u00a0caught.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>If you are interested in the quick edit for academic articles service, please check\u00a0<\/span>your due dates against the availability calendar and use the contact form to send an enquiry.

\u201cI have been using Melinda Johnston as a copy editor for my own work since 2009. <\/span>Melinda is reliable, fast, and extremely precise in her editing. She now\u00a0<\/span>edits all my English language academic publications. As a non-native English\u00a0<\/span>speaker her services are invaluable (yet extremely affordable).\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|7vw||7vw|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This service includes large-scale projects such as book manuscripts, conference proceedings,\u00a0<\/span>or special issues of journals. Because projects can have varying needs, my focus is on working to find the best solution for each publication and trying to achieve the desired outcome at a price that fits the given budget.<\/div>\n

\n
The service is intended to be tailored to your specific areas of concern, <\/span>but is particularly useful in instances where writers have English as\u00a0<\/span>a second language or where there needs to be uniformity of style across<\/span> multi-authored volumes. If a style guide is available for your chosen\u00a0<\/span>publisher, then I can also check to make sure that you\u2019re following their\u00a0<\/span>rules and that your in-text citations \/ footnotes and reference list \/ bibliography match <\/span>your chosen style guide<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWorking with Melinda is a pleasure. I\u2019ve worked with other editors before,\u00a0<\/span>but I have to say this collaboration has made all the difference\u00a0<\/span>and I\u2019m happy things can go so smoothly and quick. Melinda is an\u00a0<\/span>empathetic reader and great with taking one\u2019s needs into account\u00a0<\/span>with her service. For me as a perfectionist, it\u2019s comforting to know <\/span>that my texts are in professional hands on their last steps before <\/span>heading out to the world.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Increasingly, funding applications are taking the form of large-scale collaborative\u00a0<\/span>projects, sometimes involving twenty departments from as many countries.\u00a0<\/span>The funding proposal editing service is intended to provide a final edit\u00a0<\/span>of funding proposals in order to help you submit cohesive and professional\u00a0<\/span>applications.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|7vw||7vw|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The edit is intended to be tailored to your specific needs, but can\u00a0<\/span>include: making sure a single citation system is used; ensuring style choices are applied consistently, such as the use of US or UK English, formatting of numbers, and the use of acronyms; <\/span>checking that sub-sections are formatted consistently and numbered sequentially; checking that appropriate academic tone and language is used throughout (especially for second-language speakers);\u00a0<\/span>and reducing wordiness where length is an issue.<\/div>\n
