Professional academic editors are trained to carefully peruse research manuscripts for writing consistency and to detect problems with grammar, style punctuation, and clarity. The first pass of document review helps fix obvious language errors, and the second pass usually helps the editor address clarity, flow, and transition. However, it is the final pass, comprising a series of specific checks that produces a truly error-free manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple rounds of editing collapsed into instant automated language and writing consistency checks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A spelling and grammar check is a common step to address typographical errors or lapses while writing a manuscript. However, academic writing has several specialized conventions that are unrecognizable by a regular general-purpose spell checker, rendering it ineffective. A best practice editors recommend to check for writing consistency is to build a list of \u201cinconsistent styles\u201d appearing in a given document; in the final stage, the writer or editor usually runs a control + F check to ensure consistency in writing each style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paperpal <\/strong><\/a>has now automated several of these final writing consistency checks, giving you access to this editorial best practice in minutes, at the click of a button. The writing consistency check automatically runs on your manuscript when you upload it through Paperpal<\/a><\/strong> Preflight<\/strong><\/a> or Paperpal for Manuscript<\/a> <\/strong>(coming soon to Paperpal for Word and Web). The tool scans the file, and the downloaded output contains several suggestions for language and technical compliance. Paperpal promptly flags stylistic inconsistencies through MS Word annotations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
