    Chapter 9 Takeaways

    • Revision for global issues in a paper as well as editing for sentence-level issues are equally important steps when polishing a paper.
    • Gain distance from your paper before revising and editing.
    • Revise for unity by making sure that your thesis ties together your points, and revise for coherence by considering the organization and transitions in your paper.
    • Introductions and conclusions usually need extra scrutiny during the revision process.
    • Edit for sentence-level issues using the included checklists.
    • Peer editing does not mean being a professional editor; instead, it means simply helping a peer think about how they might improve their paper.
