University Policy and Guidance on Proofreading
This website provides guidance to students, proofreaders
and University supervisors about good practice in relation
to third-party proofreading of student work.
The systems and protocols described in the University
Policy and Guidance on Proofreading are the result of an ongoing project to
review commercial and third-party proofreading on campus, ensuring best practice
in proofreading at the University in relation to student texts.

this list.
