In my role as a proofreader for academic journal articles, I was responsible for ensuring the clarity, accuracy, and consistency of high-level academic writing. My tasks included:
Grammar and Syntax Review: Carefully examining manuscripts to identify and correct grammatical errors, punctuation, and sentence structure issues.
Consistency Checks: Ensuring consistency in formatting, citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), and terminology throughout the articles.
Clarity and Flow Improvement: Enhancing the readability and logical flow of complex academic content, while preserving the author's voice and intent.
Fact-Checking: Verifying references, citations, and facts to ensure accuracy and credibility of the research.
Attention to Detail: Meticulously reviewing each article to maintain a high standard of academic rigor and professionalism.
Through my proofreading, I helped authors present polished, well-structured work ready for publication, contributing to the credibility and impact of their research.
