Writing style
- Write in the 3rd person (i.e. no 1st person ("I" or "our" statements) or 2nd person ("you" statements)
- Logical flow from paragraph to paragraph (or are there illogical jumps between some paragraphs?)
- Does each sentence contain one main point?
- Paragraph length - too long (e.g. more than about 2/3 page?) or too short (e.g. 1-2 sentences)?
- Does each paragraph introduce a concept, flesh out the detail, and conclude by clarifying your point?
- Are abbreviations such as "e.g." and "i.e." only used inside brackets?
- Avoid directional references to "above", "below", "following" and "preceding"
- Grammar:
- Are ownership apostrophes used correctly?
- Is Australian spelling, rather than American spelling used?
- Are fully grammatical sentences used? (e.g. watch out for incomplete sentences such as "For example ongoing pain related to their injury or cognitive deficits.")
