Formatting and general
What must I send other than my paper for editing?
- Any style guides from your university or department.
- Any feedback that anyone might have given you. Walking the tightrope of making everyone who has a say over your work happy is hard. We can help make sure that preferences are also included, if reasonable, if you send such preferences to us.
- When you submit, there are 3 separate fields that allow you to attach files:
- One for a style guide
- One for any feedback
- One for the document that requires editing
Do you know my university’s requirements?
LOL editors are familiar with standard academic requirements. Where we have worked with students from a particular university, or department at a university, we get to know the style requirements. But universities and departments do make changes. So always include the most recent electronic style guide and we will accommodate the requirements.
Does your edit include formatting my paper?
Absolutely. But formatting comes in parts:
- General MSWord formatting and making sure such formatting is consistent across the document.
- If you are using a specific referencing style, like Harvard or APA 5th or 6th ed., be sure to tell us.
- Most universities or departments have their own preferences over and above the referencing style. Please send us your university’s Style Guide and we will accommodate it.
