It may take up to 2 business days (M-F, excluding holidays) to receive a response to your question, critique, or ProQuest submission - especially during high-volume times in the quarter.

What do you look at in the pre-submission critique?

Answer

During a pre-submission critique, UCI Libraries look at:

  • the order of your preliminary pages
  • page numbering
  • inclusion of all required elements, including acknowledgement of copyrighted materials
  • formatting of preliminary pages and titles in the main body of your paper

UCI Libraries does not:

  • read entire manuscripts
  • comment on content of your manuscript
  • edit grammar
  • review citations

All decisions about the content of your thesis/dissertation should be made by you and your thesis/dissertation committee.

If you need writing support, visit the UCI Center for Excellence in Writing and Communication.
