Editing and proofreading

The language of academic scholarship requires a clear, concise yet detailed presentation of information.

If you intend to write reports or research articles in your future career, you’ll need to learn how to edit and proofread your own work. If you’re collaborating with others, you’ll need to be able to edit and proofread their contributions as well, so that your collective work is well-received. Here, you’ll find four mini-workshops:
