Professional Rewriting Services

A professional rewriting service transforms a piece of text. The purpose of rewriting services is to take a specific paragraph or excerpt from a document (for example, a book chapter, a web page,a blog post, or an academic article), and to rearrange the structure, ideas, and arguments so as to achieve two critical things: (a) to keep exactly the same meaning as the original document; and (b) to create a new, cohesive piece of text.

The image below presents an example of a typical rewriting service. Notice that, in Example 1, there is a nicely written and very formal-sounding sentence, which contains a lot of information, but which is slightly technical and complicated. In the rewritten (or “paraphrased”) version of the text, shown in Example 2, the person who provided the service has kept exactly the same meaning as in the first, but the text has been changed. Note that several grammar and spelling errors in the original version have been corrected, and the length of the sentence has been shortened substantially. Issues such as the stylistically undesirable use of the passive voice have also been addressed as part of the professional rewriting service.

Since this type of service can have such a powerful effect in transforming the way a document looks, sounds, and reads, they can be valuable in different areas. For example, if you are a student who needs to perform a literature review,then the write-up phase for your literature review’s findings will involve an extensive amount of paraphrasing the results of other studies. If you recruit a paraphraser/rewriter to provide this service (which is essentially the same thing), then they can, for example, paraphraser the results sections of ten academic articles, which is an immense aid for a researcher. For academics, this practice closely resembles one of the key duties of an academic research assistant. Literature reviews are an especially important way to develop knowledge in an area of study, and professional Proofreading services can play a key role in the process of completing reliable, transparent, and comprehensive literature reviews.

Another application of this service relates to the issue of plagiarism. When pieces of software such as Turnitin (which is used widely by universities and other institutions) are applied to some documents, the so-called “similarity index” (SI) value may be too high. For example, at some universities (e.g., Newcastle University and Oxford University), an acceptable SI value for a scientific paper, as ranked by Turnitin, ranges between 15% and 25%. For a humanities paper (e.g., a dissertation in musicology or English literature), the maximum accepted SI value may be even lower than this. Therefore, for some students, if Turnitin returns an SI value that is too high, one solution is to hire a rewriter to paraphraser the sections of the report that Turnitin identified as problematic. The image below shows a typical Turnitin report with “plagiarised” (or, at the very least, problematically similar) content highlighted in different colours.

Altogether, it is clear that paraphrasers and rewrites can add a substantial amount of value to the life of a researcher. Paraphrases can be used as research assistants, as specialists to perfect a document’s style and structure, or as experts for solving the problems highlighted by Turnitin. At the same time, it is also worth emphasising the advantages of rewriters for marketing, content strategies, and other initiatives. Rolling out engaging and high-quality content quickly is significantly easier with a skilled rewriter on the team, and so considers looking further into these professional services.
