About this service

We proofread theses, dissertations, journal articles and term papers for spelling, grammar, punctuation and academic style, without touching your argument or your findings. Terminology, abbreviations, units and the spelling variant (British or American) are kept consistent from abstract to appendix. We also check that in-text citations and the reference list follow one style, such as APA, MLA, Chicago or Harvard, in formatting.
