What’s New
Activity 1
Proof Reading
Carefully review the entire paper for grammatical errors, including subject-
verb agreement, verb tense consistency, and proper use of punctuation.
Use spell check software, but don't solely rely on it; manually check for
correctly spelled but incorrectly used words (example: "their" vs. "there").
Avoid run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Break down long sentences
if they become confusing.
3. Consistent Formatting:
Verify that the formatting is consistent throughout the paper, including font
size, margins, line spacing, and headings.
Check for consistency in the use of pronouns and their antecedents. Ensure
that it is clear which nouns pronouns are referring to.
Verify that citations and references are accurate and correctly formatted.
Cross-reference in-text citations with the reference list.
Evaluate the logical flow of the paper. Ensure that each paragraph connects
logically to the next, and that there are clear transitions between ideas.
Check that paragraphs have topic sentences and that each paragraph's
content aligns with its main idea.
Define any abbreviations or acronyms when they are first used, and then
consistently use the defined forms throughout the paper.
9. Tense Consistency:
Ensure that the abstract accurately reflects the content of the paper,
summarizing the main points and conclusions.
Check that the conclusion corresponds with the introduction and supports
the overall thesis or research objectives.
Verify that every in-text citation has a corresponding entry in the reference
list, and vice versa.
Ensure that reference details (authors, publication year, titles) are accurate
and consistently formatted.
Read the paper aloud to catch awkward phrasing, missing words, and other
issues that might not be apparent when reading silently.

Your file will automatically be saved if changes are made by your groupmates or
teacher. Through this, you will no longer provide a hard copy for checking.
What’s More
Research projects must conform with the published rules set by the
DEPED who is following the INTEL International Rules for Pre-College Science
Research: Guidelines for Science and Engineering. Copies of the required forms
were one of the requirements needed for the research projects to be able to
proceed either for presentation and or exhibit.
The next activity will help you review and prepare your paper after
experimentation for content appreciation, and desires to be able to proceed
either for presentation and or exhibit.
