We welcome academic work from all disciplines at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate*
levels. To utilise fully our expertise and experience, we specialise in arts and
humanities, business, education and social sciences.
*eProofreading and eEditing services for PhD theses are
not available at the moment.
eProofreading
This is a general level of service to ensure that your writing is free of surface
errors. The service includes:
- checking the complete text for typos and misspellings, and
- ensuring correct use of punctuation, grammar and vocabulary.
eEditing
This is a more extensive level of service to improve the style of your writing.
It includes corrections covered in eProofreading plus improvement on word choice,
structure, organisation, logic, clarity, and consistency in tone and style. Our
reviewers will also make suggestions for revisions at sentence, paragraph or discourse
(the way ideas are connected in writing) level. The service includes:
- correcting errors as covered in proofreading;
- eliminating wordiness;
- checking for proper and logical sequencing;
- ensuring clear transitions between paragraphs;
- ensuring a uniform tone and focus;
- dealing with consistencies in layout and styling;
- dealing with consistencies in numbers and dates, figures, tables, quotations, graphs
and diagrams, bibliography etc.;
- ensuring consistent academic citations in the correct format – APA (American Psychological
Association), Chicago, Harvard, MLA, Turabia, etc., and
- a face-to-face tutorial (an optional extra for students living in Nottingham).
For international students whose first language is not English we recommend you
to choose our eEditing service. However, if our reviewer decides that your work
needs considerable amount of editing, we will suggest you take our face-to-face
tutorial so that you are guided to improve your own writing.
eResearch
We provide qualitative research support to help facilitate the flow of your research
and meet your tight schedule. This includes:
- transcribing audio research data,
- translating research data from Chinese to English and
- other types of language-based work.
We will offer a personal service to discuss your need.
