Academic Editing
Academic editors have subject-matter expertise and are paired with projects that best suit their specialties. The editor uses their skills and experience to make the paper fit those strict standards set by journals, evaluating and improving the tone, grammar, documentation style, and format. There are two main tasks of an academic editor: enhancing the coherency of the project and refining the author’s thesis. The elimination of any reiterations or ambiguity rids the paper of incoherency, streamlining the author’s thoughts and strengthening the paper’s thesis. Ridding the paper of repetition will also make it both clear and concise for readability. Highlighting the key thesis help it to stand out among other submissions and amplify the author’s message.
