Four dimensions of academic editing
| Check | Question | Revision |
|---|---|---|
| Claim boundaries | Are the population, conditions, time, and scope explicit? | Add qualifications and reduce overgeneralization |
| Evidence relationship | Do the data and citations directly support the adjacent conclusion? | Adjust the strength of the conclusion or add evidence |
| Paragraph purpose | Does each paragraph contain one main claim? | Separate mixed claims and remove repetition |
| Terminology | Is each concept named consistently throughout? | Standardize terms and define abbreviations on first use |
