The Necessity of Research Editing

Monday, April 7th, 2008

When only learning the first writing steps, we somehow leave out one important part of writing - and that is research editing. You can consider your assignment done not the moment you put the last dot to it, but the moment you finish revising the last word. Even if you have a feeling for the text and do not experience any difficulties in research writing, research editing still stays a definite “must to”.
 
The procedure of research editing should not be done right after finishing your writing. On the contrary, your brains have to focus on something else (or stop focusing at all) for some time, and only then you should come back to research editing.

  1. The first thing you should pay attention to while research editing is whether your writing has the central idea in it. It sometimes happens the clumsiest way: the only thing you have an idea in is the title. To avoid this, be thorough and check out the idea during your research editing.
  2. Your writing is not only about correct facts and data. It is about the content. After all, the text will be read by the teacher, not a computer. This is why, while doing research editing, keep track of the sense. Your writing has to be easily tracked down from one idea to another.

Dissertation proposal is a short summary of your future paper. In spite of the fact that the length of a dissertation proposal is rather short, students make numerous mistakes writing this paper. Let us talk about some of the most common dissertation proposal mistakes:
 
Dissertation proposals mistake 1: students make this paper too long, thinking that their dissertation proposal and dissertation itself is something very similar. However, the length of a dissertation proposal should be no more than 5 -7 pages.
 
Dissertation proposal mistake 2: the majority of students forget to focus on the most important sections of a dissertation proposal - writing the aims and objectives of their future research, description of the instruments and methodology that they are going to use, justification of the necessity of studying this particular issue.
