I’m experienced in editing for academics – I proofread or copyedit academic journal articles most days of the week.
You want your research to stand out in the peer-review process – my service for academics can help you do just that. I’ll make sure your paper flows smoothly with good sentence structure, and I’ll correct grammar, spelling or punctuation errors.
As well as journal papers, I’m also happy to work on monographs and book chapters.

Language editing and copyediting
You may find my language editing service useful if you speak English as a second or other language. I’ll correct spelling or grammar errors and restructure any text where the meaning seems unclear.
When copyediting, I’ll make sure your manuscript is written in the appropriate academic style for submission to academic journals or publishers.
Language consistency is important (spelling, grammar, punctuation) and I’ll make sure your text is consistent throughout, flows well and is clearly structured. My copyediting service also includes a detailed citation/reference check.
My subject specialisms for journal copyediting are linguistics and psychology, and I also proofread outside these areas (including STEM subjects).
Journal article formatting
I also offer a journal article formatting service (without copyediting or proofreading), where I format your paper according to the target journal guidelines.
This involves making changes such as heading capitalisation, figure/table caption style, and citation and journal formatting. Please contact me for a quotation on k.finnegan82@gmail.com.
