The electronic conversion of scanned image files to readable text using optical character recognition (OCR) software and the subsequent migration of raw OCR text to e-book text file formats are key remediation or media conversion technologies used in digital repository e-book production. Despite real progress, the OCR problem of reliability and…

Harwood, Nigel – Written Communication, 2018
There has been much interest recently in researching the changes editors, supervisors, and other language brokers make to the writing of L2 researchers who are attempting to publish in English. However, studies focused on the presubmission proofreading of students' university essays are rarer. In this study of student proofreading, 14 UK…

Conrad, Nina – TESL Canada Journal, 2019
Anglosphere universities are a site of growing concern about students' use of professional English language editing and proofreading services for the correction of academic writing. Students' use of such services raises issues of ethics and academic integrity as well as fundamental questions about how value is allotted to the labour involved in…

Saint-Aubin, Jean; Losier, Marie-Claire; Roy, Macha; Lawrence, Mike – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2015
When readers search for misspellings in a proofreading task or for a letter in a letter detection task, they are more likely to omit function words than content words. However, with misspelled words, previous findings for the letter detection task were mixed. In two experiments, the authors tested the functional equivalence of both tasks. Results…

Weber, Keith – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2015
In this paper, I identify five effective proof reading strategies that mathematics majors can use to comprehend proofs. This paper reports two studies. The first study is a qualitative study in which four successful mathematics majors were videotaped reading six proofs. These students used five proof reading strategies to foster comprehension: (i)…

Sevcikova, Beata Lewis – English Language Teaching, 2018
The present research offers an assessment of the online open source tools used in the L2 academic writing, teaching, and learning environment. As fairly little research has been conducted on how to best use online automated proofreaders for educational purposes, the objective of this study is to examine the potential of such online tools. Unlike…

Golding, Clinton – Open Review of Educational Research, 2017
In the article, "What examiners do: What thesis students should know", we identified 11 things that thesis examiners do as they read and judge a thesis. But, we left a gap in the research: knowing this, What should thesis students do to write for their examiners? In this article, I fill the gap. The advice for thesis students is: first,…

Weber, Keith; Mejia-Ramos, Juan Pablo – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
n a recent article, Inglis and Alcock (2012) contended that their data challenge the claim that when mathematicians validate proofs, they initially skim a proof to grasp its main idea before reading individual parts of the proof more carefully. This result is based on the fact that when mathematicians read proofs in their study, on average their…

Jared, Debra; Ashby, Jane; Agauas, Stephen J.; Levy, Betty Ann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Three experiments examined the role of phonology in the activation of word meanings in Grade 5 students. In Experiment 1, homophone and spelling control errors were embedded in a story context and participants performed a proofreading task as they read for meaning. For both good and poor readers, more homophone errors went undetected than spelling…

Cho, Minyoung – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
Working possible selves--currently activated images of an ideal or feared future self--have been argued to guide one's motivation and actions. This study investigated how possible selves affect L2 learners' motivational behaviors of persistence and effort as shown in essay revision and proofreading. One hundred and twelve ESL students were…
