Our editing services

Every project, document and client will have different requirements. We offer a range of editing and proofreading services, so you can choose the one that best meets your needs.

Premium Copyediting

This is our standard service, ideal for clients with typical editing needs. Your document will be edited to meet international publication standards, and follow any guidelines you supply. This service provides accuracy, clarity and consistency in language (vocabulary, grammar, spelling and punctuation), style and layout. We call it ‘premium’ because it not only involves a thorough, detailed proofread and edit but also includes further vital services that other editing companies omit from their standard packages. Unlike them, we deliver a complete service every time with no extra fees for add-ons.

A year- old boy presented with complain of abdominal pain . The given case report illustrates a case of anaemia that, after investigation, was found to be a case of sickle-cell anaemia. Many investigations of blood were undertaken, including a complete blood count, haemoglobin electrophoresis test and blood film examination. These initial investigations showed, a decline in haemoglobin count, red blood cell (RBC) count and haematocrit, and an increase in mean cell haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration levels were found to be increased. (But, MCV) was in the normal ranges according to the test report. Red blood cells (RBC) not only appeared a less number but they also exhibited anisochromasia,their shape was abnormal, they appeared sickle shaped and boat shaped appearance, with polychromasia. The first diagnosiswhich came up revealed anaemia, but the differential diagnosis also includes sickle-cell/β thalassemia and sicklecell/ haemoglobin C disease. In this case history, clinical examination and the case presentation delivered a great deal of knowledge in diagnosing the disease. When the investigations were carried out in detail it showed strongly positive result with sick.

Contemporary feminist political economy and feminism as a sphere of analysis emerged through the women’s movement in the 1970’s. Feminist political economy is concerned with bringing women’s economic role and contributions to the fore. This was necessary as the two dominant theories—neoclassical economics and Marxian political economy—were seen as unable to provide a framework to consider how gender relates to the economy (Tong, 2009: 116). This short paper will outline why neoclassical economics continues to be incompatible with feminist political economy analyses. It will be argued that feminist political economy is not incompatible with Marxian political economy.

Not just for academics

Capstone Editing is one of the finest academic editing companies worldwide. But academic editing isn’t only for academics. Academic editors receive particularly rigorous training because the standards of academic publishing are more exacting than general publishing, and academic editors must follow guidelines more strictly. For this reason, academic editing offers a higher standard of editing than generalist editing. Therefore, it is also highly sought-after by corporations, law firms, governments and non-government organisations. Academic proofreading and editing is perfectly suited to a range of clients, including:

  • Academics
  • Researchers
  • Students
  • Authors
  • Professionals
  • Businesses
  • Government bodies
  • ESL clients
