Article Proofreading and Editing Office was established at the BEU School of Foreign Languages (SFL) in the 2013-2014 Academic Year with the aim to offer academic proofreading and editing services for the English academic articles of all the academic staff at ZBEÜ. Our EFL instructors with many years of hands-on experience dealing with different types of documents have expertise in their fields, and they offer proofreading and editing service voluntarily and for free. Our office is one of the first Proofreading and Editing Offices established at Turkish Universities.
Recently, the number of the articles that are sent to our office is increasing. Besides some of the articles we receive have too many mistakes to be corrected. Even some of them are translated via some tools like “Google Translate”. Because of workload and to give better service to BEU academic staff, our working principle was changed like below.
HOW WE WORK
The proofreading and editing sessions are held at ZBEÜ SLF İncirharmanı Campus to provide face-to-face consulting service and make suggestions for language use improvement. We only accept articles to be submitted to journals. Conference proceeding or students’ homework is not accepted. We DO NOT do translations, OR do last-minute editing or proofreading.
If the article has too many mistakes to be edited and corrected, the article will be sent back to its writer. These articles can be sent to our office again after it is improved by means of language use.
In order to benefit from our service, please follow the steps below. Please note that there should be at least one week between the date you send e-mail and the appointment date for your edits so that we can work on your articles before we meet.
- On the day you send e-mail or the next day, you will receive an e-mail from us (a) confirming that we received your application, and (b) informing you about whom you will work with.
- You will be appointed to the next instructor in line.
- The instructor appointed for your article will contact you to inform you about the appointment date and time convenient for him/her.
*Please, don’t forget to bring a (hard) copy of your article to the meeting.
