Explanation by BachelorPrint

What this entails:

Correction of spelling mistakes
Correction of punctuation (commas, full stops, hyphenation, dashes etc.)
Correction of grammar (declension, conjugation, tense consistency etc.).

In proofreading, the focus is on spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Explanation by BachelorPrint

For many people, this definition raises more questions than it answers. We’ll give you an understandable explanation of what is entailed in editing academic papers.

In academic editing:

the writing style of the Bachelor’s thesis, Master’s thesis, or other work will be optimised.
the use of expressions will be improved by replacing terms with more appropriate formulations.
your work is transformed into an easily readable text and not simply a sequence of facts.
in addition to language optimisation, a classic proofreading will be carried out in which spelling, punctuation, and grammar will be corrected.
your intellectual property will not be changed, but will remain self-written and authentic
the ‘thread’ through the work will be improved

Proofreading or Editing PLUS – Who needs what?

As different as one student is from the other, so are language skills. Some have trouble finding the right words, but are great at spelling and punctuation. Others have trouble with the formal aspects, but can express themselves perfectly.

In particular with major theses, such as a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis, you feel a certain amount pressure to not make mistakes. Yet the opposite is often the case and instead of excellently written formulations, the work is simply a list of facts and the simplest comma rules are forgotten. Here Editing PLUS, or at least proofreading, would make the all-important difference.
