The fast, elegant and professional service provided by Dr Lines and her team saved me hours, days and weeks of work for which I am truly grateful. They worked to very tight deadlines and formatted, fixed and corrected my thesis so that I could submit it on time (and within my budget!) The editors who edited my thesis had phenomenal attention to detail and provided me with tremendously valuable feedback that improved the quality of my thesis. In addition to the usual material, my thesis had dozens of tables in both portrait and landscape format, a research study and case studies. My editors very quickly corrected and fixed all the material I threw at them and went beyond the call of duty to provide me with a beautifully referenced and immaculately formatted thesis. I am so appreciative of their advice and assistance.

What is a postgraduate research degree?
A Master’s or PhD by Research (not coursework).
Academic transcripts are not provided for PhD studies. What transcripts should I include in my application?
We only need the transcripts from your previous degree/s and proof of enrolment in your current PhD.
Do I need to supply confirmation of my acceptance to attend or present at a conference?
It is not a requirement of the grant that you are presenting at the conference, although it is preferred. If you have put in an application to present but do not yet have confirmation, you can always submit your grant application first and then email us your acceptance letter when you receive it.
Can I use the grant money to reimburse myself for a conference I have already attended?
No. Our grants cannot be used retrospectively. This means that you cannot use the grant money to attend a conference before the grant is awarded. The grant is awarded on 10 June every year, so the conference for which you are using the money should be after 10 June in that year.
Copyediting is the comprehensive review of the language, organisation and presentation of a document. Issues of grammar, the correct use of verb tenses, word choice and syntax, and logic and clarity are all addressed by copyediting. In addition, the editor makes general comments on structure, organisation and the support of statements, and queries any errors or inconsistencies in content if necessary. All aspects covered by proofreading are included as part of copyediting, such as addressing consistency in spelling, capitalisation, hyphenation, dates, percentages, numbers, equations and symbols; ensuring referencing is correct, complete and consistent; and correcting and ensuring consistency in headings, the use of shortened forms and formatting. Copyediting is suited to clients whose documents require a close and comprehensive review according to the Australian Standards for Editing Practice.
Substantive editing includes all aspects of copyediting, but goes further to assess and develop the document with a focus on improving its content, organisation, clarity of expression and flow, as necessary for its purpose and intended audience. This service is not available for students, but is available for all other client types. Clients requiring substantive structural editing of their text to convert it from one format to another (e.g. from a conference paper into a journal article), or who feel they may benefit from developmental editing (e.g. at an early stage of manuscript preparation), should enquire about our substantive editing service.
