Editing and Proofreading
Editing and proofreading is fundamental to ensuring your document has correct grammar, syntax, punctuation, and style adherence. This may seem like a minor issue, but skipping this stage in your manuscript preparation lowers the quality and credibility of your document. Elite Research editors have experience working with university, corporate, journal, publication, and institutional documents and clients from around the world and will work diligently to bring your document to excellence.
Basic Visual Proofread
What is it? Copyediting aims to provide the most readable version of your text possible. In this level of editing, editors provide a basic overview of text for glaring errors in tense, first/third person, subject/verb agreement, and clarity issues, consistencies in spelling, proper use of periods, ellipses, commas, colons/semicolons, etc.
This would be a great choice if you’ve already been through the document (or had others run through your document) a few times and would just like a fresh pair of eyes on it.
Style guides supported include, but not limited to, all editions of APA, AMA, MLA, ASA, ACS, Chicago, and Turabian.
