| Global Revision
Checking the Overall Meaning of the Paper
Another global revision strategy you can use is to take
a look at the meaning of the entire paper. The sum of
all the paper’s portions should be equal to all of the
variables included in the thesis statement. In other
words, the reader should be able to tell exactly who the
paper’s audience is and what the paper’s purpose and
topic are from both the thesis statement itself and from
the whole paper. Readers should not finish reading the
paper and be left wondering to themselves, “So what?”
Your paper should have a great deal of meaning,
relevance, and value to your reader and to your academic
field.
