| Global Revision
Revising a research paper globally involves looking
at the “bigger picture.” It requires you to take a step
back and look at the paper as a whole rather than look
at the paper at the sentence level. When making global
revisions, you should make sure that the paper includes
a thesis statement. You must also check for cohesion
among the paper’s different sections. There are some
helpful strategies you can use when you are at this
stage of the paper-writing process.
By using the techniques explained above, you
should be successful at making global revisions to
your work. At this stage, sentence-level issues
should not be dwelled upon too much. Of course, if
there are some recurring matters that may hinder
readers’ ability to understand the paper’s meaning,
then these matters should indeed be addressed as
soon as possible. However, the most important thing
for you to remember during global revising is that
if the paper makes logical sense from afar, it may
be ready for the next step in the revision process.
