Proofreading Academic Research

1. PhD RESEARCH

We accompany Doctorate students through the final stages of the writing-up process, ensuring textual consistency, checking the referencing system and helping researchers respond to supervisors' critiques as well as their submission criteria.


2. JOURNAL ARTICLES

Having 15 years experience in working with academics, our focus is on careful, unobtrusive proofreading to prepare papers for submission. In the case of researchers working in English as a 2nd language, we pledge to maximise clarity and style in the academic English produced for reception in a journal or anthology. 

​

3. BOOK CHAPTERS AND STUDIES

Our academic book translations have placed us in a good position to work on longer texts for publications. We might approach a book editing project chapter by chapter to assist with the production of the best academic English for publication. For separate published chapters, we take as much are with unobtrusive academic proofreading as we do for PhD research and journal papers.



"I was looking for a proofreader who does not only correct grammar and vocabulary but also understands the project and the arguments of my doctoral thesis. He asked me from the beginning what I was looking for. His replies are very fast and editing work is done well in a short time. The proofreader’s knowledge and understanding of my academic topic was very high as Daniel is competent in continental philosophy."

"I was looking for corrections in grammar, vocabulary, consistency across different chapters. Dan was extremely flexible and delivered on time.
I would recommend Dan for professional proofreading based on the work seen. He is easily accessible, flexible and ready to learn new technologies to support the proofreading text presented on different / unfamiliar platforms."
