Editing tips
If you use the following editing techniques you will greatly enhance the quality of your work.
1. Eliminate wordiness and use appropriate language
Take out any unnecessary or repeated words or phrases; substitute simpler words for complex ones. You should also remove informal words and expressions and substitute more academically acceptable ones.
2. Insert evidence and examples
Make sure everything is supported by either references to the ideas of others, or by concrete examples.
3. Add connectives and signposts
Use words such as furthermore, consequently, however, on the one hand ... and on the other, thus (see Paragraphs). These words and phrases help your points flow logically.
