Proof Readers and Copy Editors

Students using the services of a copy editor or proof reader provided on this website should be aware that:

All proofreading or copy-editing contacts provided are advisory only and should be included in the acknowledgements page of the dissertation; the responsibility for accepting or adapting such advice being solely that of the candidate's.
All proofreading or copy-editing services are provided by those with relevant postgraduate experience, publications, and/or professional experience and should be checked independently by the candidate to his or her satisfaction.
Fees for this service may include sliding scales and vary according to whether English is a first (“native”) or a second (“foreign”) language. This needs to be discussed beforehand with any of the proof-readers & copy-editors.

The attached updated guidelines for editing Research Theses as prepared by the Institute of Professional Editors have been reviewed. The revision takes account of the changing environment in which many editors, students and their supervisors work. The spirit of the original is maintained. What has changed is the reference to electronic editing, a clearer articulation of the editor’s role, and the linking of editing functions and responsibilities to the Australian Standards for Editing Practice.
