This type of editing focuses on aspects such as grammar, punctuation, and formatting, ensuring that the work adheres to specific style guides like APA or MLA. Editors may also provide feedback on the structure and argumentation of the text, helping authors present their ideas more effectively. This service is commonly used by researchers, students, and professionals who want to enhance their theses, dissertations, or journal articles before submission for publication or evaluation.
