Engaging a professional academic proofreading service is therefore an excellent idea. The members of the Proof-Reading-Service.co.uk team of proofreaders have earned their own master’s or doctoral degrees in a wide variety of disciplines and subject areas. Not only are they native speakers of English but they also have the inclination and the training required to pay careful attention to every detail, and many have extensive teaching and examining experience as well. A academic proofreader offers the expertise and exactitude necessary to proofread your document to perfection, whether you are struggling to communicate complex ideas effectively in English or feel confident about your writing skills and simply want a second set of qualified eyes to ensure that no typing errors have slipped into your writing.

A few students will be willing and able to carry out the painstaking proofreading necessary to perfect the many details requiring attention in an academic document, but many others will lack either the aptitude or the desire (or perhaps both) for such work, and authors who are not native speakers of English may find such corrections particularly onerous. The fact is, however, that excessive grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting errors can not only confuse readers and look unprofessional but also result in failure when the academic paper is examined or peer reviewed. Producing a research paper of an acceptable academic standard is, after all, part of the point of writing it either for publication or for examination.

Your academic document is edited using the ‘track changes’ function of Microsoft Word. This is a standard function installed in most versions of Microsoft Word. This function allows you to move easily between changes and accept any or all of the modifications proposed by the academic proofreader. Corrections, suggestions and comments are shown in the right-hand margin and are easy to incorporate into your document.
