need to apply critical thinking and evaluation skills
when considering the comments on your paper.
You do not have to accept all the comments as long
as there are valid reasons for doing so.
 REVISING

before starting your revision because having a break
allows you to have a fresher look at your paper
EDITING
 EDITING
The finishing stage of writing are editing and
proofreading focuses on typography and
mechanics.
There are several ways of going through the
editing process. You can edit it on your own or
you may ask someone credible enough to edit
your work.
 EDITING
Another matter you have to face when editing is the
issue of plagiarism

It is not only important that you present original

insights in you work , it is also important that you
cite your sources. Since the Internet is now widely
used and consulted without properly citing them.
 EDITING
To avoid this, you can use an online plagiarism
checker such as plagtracker.com and
smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker to check the
source of the plagiarized content and do the
necessary citation.
PUBLISHING
 PUBLISHING
Even if most of your written works are made for academic
purposes only, you can still share them with other people. After
exerting effort in writing a good paper, you have to showcase
your work to other people.
This stage known as publishing. One way you publish your work
is by posting it on social networking sites such as blogs or
Facebook and more reputed research-sharing websites such as
academia.edu.
 PUBLISHING
You can also publish your work collectively with your classmates
by coming up with a book or magazine out of your essays or by
creating a class blog which will feature everyone’s work.
