Even after getting prepared, the terror of dissertation still lasts until the time comes to edit & proofread it. Many students look for dissertation proofreading services to help them in the final stage. To solve this problem of students, here is the brand new strategy to help them, called “Cups & Arms.” But before going deeper into the strategy, you need to understand the difference between editing & proofreading.

Editing - Editing doesn’t focus on in-depth mistakes; in fact, there are only some upper errors that are rectified through editing. The errors that editing rectify are- spellings, punctuation, capitalization, and some grammatical errors. 

Proofreading - Proofreading focuses on the in-depth mistakes that are present in a document, and it is always done after editing. The only motive of proofreading is to focus on logical errors. It is done to make a seamless flow in writing. 

 

Now, let's focus on the strategy.

 

CUPS:-

C - Here, C stands for Capitalization. In this, you need to find out errors based on the capitalization present in your document. Check the name, title, place, full-stop, etc., in your write-up to find capitalization errors.

U - Here, U stands for the Usage of grammar. In this, you need to focus on the grammatical errors present in your document. Like- you should check for the overused adverbs, prepositional phrases, wordiness, etc., in your document.

P - Here, P stands for Punctuation. In this, you need to find the wrong usage of punctuation present in your document. To get help in this part, you can read the uses of different punctuation and can check your document accordingly.

S - Here, S stands for Spelling. This is the most common & silly error that every document has at first. To find out the spelling errors in your document, you need to be focused on your write-up and check for all complicated words. 

 

ARMS:-

A - Here, A stands for Addition. In this part, you need to go through your whole document and check whether there is anything else left unsaid in it or not, or analyze if there is a need to add some extra information to make your document flow smooth.

R - Here, R stands for Removal. This is the same as an addition. In this, you need to go through your document and eliminate all the unnecessary information present in it and details, making your document complicated or affecting the flow of a document.

M - Here, M stands for Movement. In this part, you need to focus on the words that are incorrectly placed in your document. The incorrect placement of words can affect the document in the worst manner and can even change the meaning of the information you are trying to convey. 

S - Here, S stands for Substitution. In this part, you need to go through the document and check if there is any word you know that can explain the meaning better than the word present in your document. If it is, you need to substitute that word. 

This is the strategy named CUPS & ARMS to help students who are seeking dissertation proofreading services. 

Summary:-

This article is to solve the queries of students related to proofreading & editing. It presents the CUPS & ARMS strategy to help students in proofreading & editing.
