Preserving the academic voice is what I cover in this last instalment in the series about editing academic works (articles for academic journals, theses, and monographs) on the Copyediting.com blog.
Mentioned in this post:
- Editing Canadian English, 3rd ed.
- Joseph Williams’ Style — which comes in a different variation of title every few years, such as Lessons in Clarity and Grace or Toward Clarity and Grace
- passive voice
- jargon
- sentence fragment
