What is a Technical Edit?
A technical edit covers the basic proofreading required of any editing: grammar, punctuation, spelling and subject-verb agreement. These are standard for any editing level. Moreover, a technical edit checks for continuity of thoughts, smooth flow of ideas and points out where statements might need more support.
But the true beauty of the technical edit is in the little details that can be enormous stumbling blocks to good grades or professional publication: in a technical edit, your editor will examine your citations and references with a gimlet eye to make sure they adhere to the style guide you request.
Our editors can use all types of editorial styles as MLA, Chicago, APA, Turabian, Harvard...
The technical editors at FirstEditing, all experienced professionals and with backgrounds in academia, are familiar with all the major style guides: APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, Harvard, etc. While some basics are similar in each, there are also slight differences: for example, in APA style, a parenthetical citation would look thusly: (Smith, 2009). In Harvard style the same citation would be: (Smith 2009).
I have a specific citation, reference or style guide request. Can you provide this?
Our editors will also edit to the "house style" of a particular journal if the necessary details are provided. Some journals require a specific font, spacing and citation style, and usually their "house" rules can be found on their website or in a .pdf sent to the author.
Does this matter, really? To your dissertation committee or the review panel of the academic journal you're submitting to, yes, it does. Appearance can be just as important as content, because these professionals have chosen the style they feel is easiest to read and most suited to their particular requirements.
We can help you adhere to the style they demand.

I need some feedback. Can you help?
Our editors also serve as commentators on your work, pointing out areas that seem weak or that are especially strong;
indicating where citations are missing or seem to be needed; asking questions whose answers might help to clarify a
confusing passage better to have an editor make these types of comments than your committee or the journal review panel!

I need formatting as well. What can you provide?
A final "plus" of technical editing is that it includes a degree of formatting. Our editors won't place your charts and diagrams
or generate your reference list, but they will make sure your margins are correct, your references are formatted as
they should be, your line spacing is consistent, your headers and footers are placed properly, etc.
When you submit your research, whether it's for a grade or for publication, in the capable hands of one of our editors and request technical editing, you can rest assured that qualified professionals are giving your work the attention it deserves-remember, with FirstEditing, every word counts!
