EUI Researchers: Text Revision and Feedback

The EUI Text Revision Service helps PhD and LLM researchers to develop their academic writing, and express their ideas more effectively. All texts that are sent to this service are revised by teachers of Academic Writing. The service is not a proof-reading service.

What do I have to do to get my text revised? Procedure for submitting a text

Each revision is followed by a feedback session with the teacher.

The feedback session aims to:

  • Develop strategies for learning from your errors
  • Discuss further ways of improving your writing skills
  • Provide exercises and/or discuss areas for further language revision
  • Assist in setting up a plan for the next phase of the writing process

You can have papers revised in three languages other than English:

For any other languages you will have to arrange private revision. Some correctors on the List of Correctors offer languages other than English.

If you have any questions, contact the CALL.
