Proofreading explained
Let's explain how reviewing works in three easy steps.
Upload your document
Upload your document and choose your reviewing period. Based on this, the total price and delivery date will appear. Fill out your contact details and complete the payment. The document is immediately forwarded to one of our editors.
We will get started
Using 'track changes', your document is checked for spelling, grammar, style, structure, syntax and punctuation. Finally, the editor will give their personal feedback to improve your writing skills.
Check your mail
You will receive 2 versions of your reviewed document. In the 1st version you will see what the editor has changed and you can choose which changes to accept. In the 2nd version, all changes have been accepted.
Example documents
Proofread
With this check we not only correct all typing and spelling errors, but also all grammatical errors, style errors, inconsistencies, incorrect sentence structure and punctuation.
Furthermore, we not only check if we can improve the use of academic language in your thesis or essay, but als pay attention to subjective or vague formulations, verb tenses, numbers, abbreviations and more. Check our review model for complete overview.
The changes in the text are made by ‘track changes‘ in Word, so that you can see exactly what has been changed. Moreover, you can decide yourself which changes you want to implement.
Example proofread
Structure-check
We delve deeper into the text and see if your thesis or essay meets the assessment criteria. We check the following points:
- Completeness: does each thesis component meet the criteria and is this correctly stated?
- Clarity: is the theory used relevant? Has the conclusion been drawn based on the results?
- Unnecessary repetitions: do you repeat information can aspects be written down more concisely?
- Structure: is the structure of the research correctly and is there a logical connection between the paragraphs?
You receive this check in the form of feedback in the margin of the document, with useful tips and valuable suggestions for substantive improvements.

APA-check
With the APA-check we check all in-text references and the bibliography will be corrected according to the latest edition of the APA manual. All changes will be implemented immediately.
Furthermore, we check the content of every source displayed in the bibliography extensively, alphabetize the bibliography and we point out sources that mentioned in the text, but are not displayed in the reference list (and vice versa).
We check both the Dutch and the English APA rules. View our rates page for an overview of the prices or calculate the price with our calculator.
