Man or Machine? Who Are You Trusting to Copy Edit Your Research?

It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as the printing press.

But it’s a question we’re facing more often, especially as technology and automation continue to advance. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in academic publishing, just as it has in nearly every other aspect of our lives.

AI: Artificial Intelligence

How much is too much? How often should we use it? Just how helpful is it, and could it really replace a human being? Everyone has an opinion and a million questions. But with so much information available, it can be hard to determine what’s best for your journey to academic publication.

The appeal of AI is strong. It promises to streamline processes, deliver quick results, and reduce the need for human involvement. Just give it a task and, like magic, your content appears

But as a non-native English author, how can you be sure that AI, whether it’s ChatGPT or another platform, is providing accurate information and applying the correct formatting? Each academic style and publisher has its own rules and expectations. Even for native English speakers, is it wise to rely entirely on AI after putting so much time, effort, and resources into your manuscript?

How Can You Really Trust the Generative Material Being Provided to You? (It’s Worth Asking Again.)

There are nuances in the English language, as there are in all languages, that AI may not fully understand. Sentences must follow certain patterns to be clearly understood, and proper grammar must be used to ensure clarity, precision, and flow. Writing can be challenging for anyone, and for non-native speakers, cultural and linguistic subtleties present additional obstacles that AI might not be equipped to address.

At eContent Pro, our editors are highly skilled in a wide range of citation styles and are experts in the English language. They have also become increasingly adept at spotting AI-generated references, narrative content, and other material.

Even a small doubt can grow into a major concern when it comes to academic publishing. It might seem harmless to generate a reference list using AI, but once suspicion is raised, it is hard to contain. If AI was used for the citations, was it also used in the main text? Or in the research itself? No one wants their hard work questioned, especially when they only sought help to get their manuscript ready for publication. That’s where we come in.

As AI becomes more prevalent in academic publishing, we want your manuscript to stand out from the crowd of disjointed reference lists and awkwardly phrased content.

Simply put, English language copy editing is more important now than ever before.

At eContent Pro, we are committed to delivering high-quality, publication-ready results for authors who care about the integrity of their work. We know how much your research means to you, and we want it to meet the highest standards—flawless, credible, and ready to publish.
