Copy Editing

Copy editing focuses on improving language use, grammar, and consistency, for professional presentation.

Proofreading

The final polish of any document – after the structure, grammar and spelling are sorted – proofreading ensures that everything is as it should be: the Table of Contents is accurate, tables and figures have been captioned, and all punctuation is correct, with not one full stop out of place.

Formatting

Formatting is fundamental to producing a professional document. Whether set up initially, or implemented right at the end, clear formatting improves readability and ensures that your document not only looks good, but can be easily printed for submission or presented online.
If you have a specific style guide or template, please provide details in your inquiry.
PHD Theses: a PDF for submission will be provided as part of this service. Please consider whether you require gutter margins for binding

References

Clear references are critical in any academic paper or thesis. This referencing service will automate your references, and allow you to link them into the document with ease, as well as automatically create and order the List of References.

Referencing costs can vary widely depending on the level of complexity.
Please detail your referencing needs when you request a quote.
