Consulting

Assessing Logic and the Flow of Argument:

• Assessment of logical consistency within various parts of the text
• Identification and rectification of unclarity that is due to structure
• Assessment of how the argument of the paper fits together as a whole, i.e. cohesion of structure
• Identification of fallacies in argument
• Assessment of evidential relations, e.g. we ensure that claims made in the conclusion do not go beyond the evidence supplied in the main body of the text
• Tightening up of the structure of argument, e.g. by identifying , and rendering explicit, hidden premises, or by pointing out text that is unnecessary to the argument
• Pointing out of omissions in the text, e.g. references, notation, figure and table captions

If you require this service, please indicate when you submit your paper what parts of your document you would like to be reviewed. Note that the successful completion of this service will usually require more extensive communication between author and consultant than does simply editing English. The service is especially useful for papers that have been rewritten to take into account the comments of anonymous reviewers, prior to resubmission to a journal.
