ABNEY'S PROOFREADING & EDITING SERVICES

The preparation of a doctoral dissertation or master's thesis varies by college, university, and department. In proofreading, editing and formatting your research paper, I follow your department's guidelines and format specifications for the front matter, chapter sections, tables and figures, references, and appendices. I use Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature to show recommended corrections/changes in grammar, sentence structure, misspelled words, missing words and letters, content flow, and inconsistencies throughout the document. I also verify that in-text citations are included on the reference list, and that all references have been cited in the paper. Formatting of your research study includes ensuring consistency in the page layout, margins, font size and style, spacing, chapter headings, sub-headings, page numbering, indentations of paragraphs, block quotations, interviews, bulleted lists, use of punctuation marks, italics, symbols, special characters, and captions for tables and figures. This may also involve creating and formatting the front matter, including the Table of Contents, List of Tables, and List of Figures. Turnaround time depends on the number of pages and the amount of work that needs to be done.

Each journal has specific requirements for the research paper's structure. In proofreading, copyediting, and formatting, I follow the journal's guidelines for the content, page layout, and word count limits. This includes the abstract, section headings, numbering format, end notes, footnotes, tables, figures, citations, and references. All papers are grammar-checked, spell-checked, and read for sentence structure, content flow, and inconsistencies in the body of the text. I also ensure that all citations are included on the reference list, and that the references include all publication details, such as the authors' names, year of publication, correct titles, journal's name, issue and volume number, page numbers, and DOIs, if required. References are consistently formatted in accordance with the journal's preferred style. CONVERT YOUR DISSERTATION INTO A JOURNAL ARTICLE.
