At Wordwise, we offer two types of editing: language and technical. These terms may confuse someone who has not heard of them before but understanding them is key to finding the right level of editing for your project and can make a difference in the final results of your dissertation, article, proposal, or assignment. Language editing is the first level of proofreading and editing. The editor looks at spelling, grammatical and structural errors, and removes any repetition of words, incorrect capitalization, and errors in the sentence structure.
By using language editing, your document will look tidier, more professional, and presentable, and will indicate to your audience that you are a diligent and capable student. Technical editing encompasses language editing and includes basic editing. It requires a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. It is an in-depth review and covers complex errors, such as the tone of your wording, your layout, the flow of your work, and looks at whether your use of language and structure meets the objectives of your research. It can also include references. Not every document requires technical editing, and the service you require will depend on the style and subject of your project.
