REVISED SECOND EDITION (2023)Includes a new section on the use of AI.Proofreading Theses and Dissertations introduces some of the basic principles of proofreading academic texts. In many respects, the work required is the same as for any other proofread - you check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and consistency - but it is complicated by the fact that the thesis or dissertation must be the student's own work.The guide explores the nature of this type of proofreading as well as the practicalities of how to get work, calculating fees and negotiating with students. It then deals with potentially thorny ethical issues such as what to do with possible plagiarism, how you should approach the use of AI, and how much to query, intervene in or change the student's writing.

This study utilized confirmatory factor analyses and latent change score analyses to model individual and developmental differences in a longitudinal study of children's writing. Participants were 158 children who completed a writing sample each year from 15 through 4th grade. At all four time points, a four-factor model of writing provided the best fit to the data. The factors were macro-organization (presence of topic sentence, number of key elements, and order of ideas). productivity (number of words and number of unique words), complexity (average number or words per sentence and number of connectives), and vocabulary (average number of syllables and average number of characters per word, and percentage of multisyllabic words). The latent change score analyses demonstrated significant relations among the intercepts of macro-organization, productivity, and complexity factors, indicating that children with higher initial levels of one skill were also likely to have higher initial levels of the other. Productivity was also identified as a leading indicator of complexity, such that higher levels of productivity predicted subsequent increases in complexity over time.

How to Launch and Maintain a Successful Magazine Are you sick of being a rat race slave? If so, you've probably considered how you could make money on your own. However, after seeing scam after scam on the Internet, you may be wondering if there is any possibility for you to make money on your own. Perhaps you're approaching the situation incorrectly. Instead of looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, you should concentrate on developing a legal business. This is the only method to fully safeguard your financial independence. However, what enterprises can you start if you don't have a lot of money? Well... Thanks to the ease of self-publishing, any person, rich or poor can start a magazine business! That's correct! A person on almost any budget can begin their path into one of the most profitable enterprises on the planet... magazine publishing. They only require time, imagination, and an open mind. Large sums of money are not required because magazines can be published for as little as $1 per copy! But don't get too excited just yet. Even while magazine publishing is enjoyable and reasonably simple, most authors prefer to self-publish books. As a result, there are very few online or offline resources that teach you EXACTLY what you need to do to succeed as a magazine self-publisher. And the few resources accessible provide material that is so broad that you nearly want to acquire a doctorate.
