proofreading-and-editing

Proofreading and editing

An experienced editor gives feedback on consistency, tone, and bias-free language, and directly improves things like:

  • Spelling and grammar
  • Punctuation and abbreviations
  • Capitalization
  • Sentence structure

You can rest assured that your text follows APA standards and the conventions of your field.

Paper-formatting

Paper formatting

Applying APA format correctly can be a daunting task, but our APA paper formatting experts do it every day. Whether it’s a student paper or a manuscript, we will make sure the format is compliant with APA guidelines regarding:

  • Margins, line spacing, and indentation
  • Font and headings
  • Running head and page numbering
  • and more

APA Paper Formatting  costs $1.20 per page and can be purchased separately or in combination with Proofreading & Editing.

Citation-editing

Citation editing

Your citation expert will ensure that your in-text citations and references are correctly formatted and cross-checked. This includes:

  • Checking capitalization, italicization, and punctuation
  • Providing feedback on incomplete references
  • Improving your reference list’s overall layout

Citation Editing costs $2.75 per source and can be purchased separately or in combination with Proofreading & Editing.

Your team of APA experts

Instead of just one editor, we work with three experts, one for each discipline: language, formatting, references.

Every expert has years of experience in their field so they know the APA guidelines by heart, down to the smallest details and the rarest exceptions.

We put in the extra effort to coordinate these experts because we believe it’s worth it to guarantee the best possible result.

Customers rate our proofreading service excellent!

The corrections were allright

The corrections were allright, however changing some phrases made no sense. Maybe because it was not reviewed by somebody of the concerning field and or on a level of a master thesis. All in all corrections improved my article. Maybe it was helpful that I explained more explicity what I was looking for the second time. Conclusion: Value for money is unbeatbale! I can recommend Scribbr!

Cotton production in Brazil

We are really satisfied with Scribbr profreading service. We sent a scientific paper from a high-impact journal in agriculture science. The review process was easy and fast, with options of service, pages, expertise area, and English choice. The feedback was a great help to us and included explanations and tips on the most important aspects and common errors.

Worth It

I double myself all the time and when someone can check my work before submission, it's always great to have it reviewed by a person with a similar background in the field of work. I have been coming to Scribbr almost everytime and it's always great to see the comments for improvements as well as proofread.
