Since your thesis or dissertation is regarded as a formal publication, it needs to adhere to certain language and formatting conventions. So, you might to have your thesis or dissertation (language) edited or proofread before you submit it for examination. Additionally, some of you, long before reaching the editing stage of thesis or dissertation writing, might need help transcribing interviews or focus groups. Occasionally, some of you may also require translation services. Also on occasion, you may also require some fairly technical editing of a special kind at some other point in the process: LaTeX.
To help you fulfill these needs, we provide you with three lists of individuals or companies that do (1) language editing or proofreading, (2) transcription, (3) translation, and (4) LaTeX editing. Some of these individuals or companies appear on more than one list as they have indicated that they provide the relevant services. These lists are provided as a reference or starting point to the students of the University of Pretoria (UP) and not as a list of recommended language practitioners (that is, language editors, transcribers, translators, etc.). From time to time, these lists are updated and UP cannot guarantee that any of these individuals or companies will remain contactable.
Disclaimer: The individuals and companies in these lists do not act on behalf of UP when they provide the services under which they are listed. Additionally, UP cannot take responsibility for work done by the individuals or companies in these lists.
