English Editing and Proofreading Services in Ithaca, New York

Researchers, students, and professionals in Ithaca use Editor World for professional English editing and proofreading services.

Ithaca is the home of Cornell University, an Ivy League research university with an unusual breadth. Founded in 1865, Cornell is both a private Ivy and New York's land-grant university, and that combination gives it exceptional strength across agriculture and the life sciences, veterinary medicine, computer science, engineering, and the applied social sciences. It is one of the most research-productive universities in the country, with more than a billion dollars in annual research activity. That mix produces a steady flow of journal manuscripts, dissertations, grant applications, and conference papers. Clear, precise English is part of that work, and Editor World helps students, faculty, and professionals in Ithaca meet that standard.

Academic Editing at Cornell University

Cornell University is New York's land-grant university and a member of the Ivy League, a combination that gives it a breadth few universities can match.

Faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students publish across all of these fields. Editor World matches each manuscript to an editor with a background in the field. The person reviewing your work understands its terminology and its publication conventions.

Editor World Compared to a Typical Proofreading Service

Not every editing service works the same way. Here is how Editor World compares to the standard model on the points Ithaca researchers and professionals ask about most.

Its College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and its College of Veterinary Medicine are among the best in the country.
