The Project
Client: Dr. Asdourian Bruno, Media and Communication Department, University of Fribourg-CH
Services: Copyediting, Line-Editing
Dr. Asdourian, Bruno is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Department of Media and Communication of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. He has conducted extensive research on various topics, including City diplomacy, cities networks & Twitter, Civic-tech diplomacy & citizen engagement (makers/hackathon).
With the aim of participating at the ICA-International Communication Association Annual Conference, I copyedited, line-edited, and proofread his scholarly paper entitled “Civic tech diplomacy: Machine learning and network analyses of Twitter during the #VersusVirusCH hackathon”.
My copyediting approach included:
Checking for and correcting:
- Errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation.
- Technical consistency in capitalization, font usage, hyphenation, and spelling consistency (UK-US spelling).
Line-editing focused on:
- Improving word choice.
- Rewriting and restructuring in conjunction with the French version of the article provided (by adding remarks in the comment section of the word document).
- Checking the readability of the article ensuring that the reader can grasp the writer’s argumentation.
- Checking for redundancies, tone of voice, flow, and coherence.
