“A tripod: the student, supervisor and language editor" (Jacqui Baumgartner)
While elements of copyediting apply here too, academic dissertations and theses are examined so I edit these works extremely sensitively, using the comments function to raise concerns for your attention.
You can expect me to
- use plain language principles to ensure that the meaning is clear.
- flag sources which are not acknowledged in the reference list and references that have not been mentioned in text;
- format your references according to the conventions used by your department, university or journal;
- apply gender neutral language principle in line with current practice;
- help you to make your meaning clear;
- respect your ideas and your voice; and
- communicate clearly.
Thank you very much for your exceptional work! How you managed to edit a thesis of more than 80 000 words in such a short period of time and still do a splendid job still puzzles me. Thank you for your advice on the citation.
