I observed aA striking resemblance ~~has been seen~~between the success rates of the Netherlands and ~~that of~~the US. ~~In the study by~~Martynova and Renneboog (2010)~~it already became clear~~ found that shareholder protection was almost equal ~~between the US and the Netherlands~~in both countries. This ~~corresponded~~corresponds to the fact that they both have a success rate is of approximately ~~the~~ 40%.

At least one~~More than 1~~ hedge fund acquired a share in 14~~the company in fourteen~~ of the 36 listed companies in my database.

Dear Wendy,

I enjoyed reading and editing your thesis. I found your topic very interesting! Even though your paper was already rather well-written, I’ve made many adjustments to improve the academic quality of the text.

Based on your work, I’ve provided some concrete tips to help you recognize and correct your most common mistakes. These suggestions are intended to help you become a better writer.

Word-level grammatical and spelling mistakes

You used a mix of British and American English spelling throughout your thesis. Consistency is important, especially in academic writing. In the future, remember to set your proofing language to “US English” so that spell check catches these errors.
Often, it is not clear what you’re referring to when you use pronouns such as “it” and “they” (in grammatical terms, the pronoun antecedents are ambiguous). In the text, I’ve marked where you should clarify the subject of a sentence. You can learn more about this issue and why it’s important here: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/common-grammatical-problems-with-clarity-and-logic/.

Word choice

In many places, you used the incorrect definite article (“a” or “an”). Remember that an abbreviation that starts with a vowel sound when read aloud (such as “EU”) takes “an” rather than “a” (e.g., “an EU country”). You can review the rules for using articles here: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/using-definite-and-indefinite-articles-in-a-dissertation/.
I’ve also made changes related to your use of prepositions, which are particularly tricky in English. Take a careful look at the comments I’ve made in the document to learn how to make your writing sound more fluid and natural.

Sentence-level grammatical mistakes

Long and complicated sentences can often be difficult for the reader to follow. In such cases, consider breaking the sentences into two or introducing punctuation to make them more readable.
Additionally, please note that as “et al.” means “and others,” so the verb that follows should be plural (e.g., “Wang et al. have suggested…”).

Style and academic tone

In academic writing, acronyms should be defined upon first use so that the reader can easily follow along. You can review the guidelines for using acronyms in academic writing here: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/using-abbreviations-and-acronyms-in-a-thesis/.

I hope you find my comments helpful as you finalize your thesis. Good luck accepting all the changes!

Cheers,

Sarah

Om du väljer strukturhjälp kommer korrekturläsaren fylla i de relevanta checklistorna. Korrekturläsaren kommer även ge strukturrelaterade råd i kommentarerna i texten.

The document is organized in such a way that the central theme is apparent to the reader.

Editor feedback: I recommend introducing your central theme – the need for pharmaceutical trials to include more diverse participants – earlier in your paper. This way, your reader understands what your paper is about from the very beginning. See my comments for specific suggestions.
The text is organized in a logical and appropriate manner (chapters, sections and paragraphs).

Editor feedback: You’ve done a nice job of forming sections with clear themes. However, it’s not always clear how your sections support the main goal of your paper. As you revise, be sure to clearly link each section to your central theme or research question. This will help you build strong, interconnected arguments.
The text is without repetition.

Editor feedback: You've struck a nice balance between restating main ideas to help your readers follow along and avoiding unnecessary repetition that might distract or bore readers. Great job!
The text is without redundancies.

Editor feedback: I didn’t spot any extraneous material in your thesis.
The titles and headings are adequate, correct and consistent.

Editor feedback: A strong title should be informative, striking and appropriate. Your title is definitely striking. However, it could be more informative. I recommend rephrasing your title to specify the central theme of your paper. For more tips, check out this article: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/forging-good-titles-in-academic-writing/.

The preface is no longer than four or five paragraphs.

Editor feedback: Great job with this section – you've thanked those people who played an especially important role in your work, and you've kept the tone professional throughout.
Only people who have actually helped have been thanked.
The thanks follow a functional order. Those who have contributed the most are named first.
The use of first and last names is consistent.
The preface is personal but is nevertheless written in a professional style.
The preface ends with your name, place name and the date at the time of writing.

Editor feedback: Typically, a preface should end with your name and the date and place of writing.

The abstract is a maximum of one A4 sheet of paper.

Editor feedback: You should be able to cut your abstract down to one page by single-spacing the text and removing the title/author information.
The abstract is placed after the preface and before the table of contents.
The objective is specified in the abstract.

Editor feedback: You simply write that you conducted your study to prove your hypotheses. Be more specific. What was the goal of your study?
The problem statement is given in the abstract.
The research questions or hypotheses are included in the abstract.

Editor feedback: You have hinted at the research questions that you formulate in your literature review, but you have not explicitly presented them. I have suggested a place where it would be helpful to add them.
The methodology and approach of your research are briefly explained.
A summary of the most important results is given.
The conclusion is given (the answer to your research question / problem statement).

Editor feedback: Be sure to clearly answer the research question in the abstract. The abstract should read like a miniature version of the entire paper.
The results have been discussed and explained (discussion).
Suggestions for follow-up research are presented.

Editor feedback: At the end of the abstract you should add a summary of the recommendations that you have included in chapter 7. This summary should include your ideas for future research.
Any recommendations are concisely discussed.
The abstract clarifies what the thesis is about (also for those without prior knowledge).

The introduction of the research is written with a stimulating topic.

Editor feedback: Opening with the broad significance of the topic will be helpful here.
The topic is limited.
The scientific relevance is demonstrated (not applicable to all theses).
The practical relevance is demonstrated.

Editor feedback: Here, you should describe the study’s relevance to pharmaceutical companies, along with any other practical applications.
The most important scientific articles about the topic are summarized (not applicable to all theses).

Editor feedback: I recommend summarizing the articles in your literature review, rather than simply listing them, as this will help your readers understand the starting point for your research.
The objective is formulated.
The problem statement is formulated.
The conceptual framework is determined.
The research questions or hypotheses are formulated.

Editor feedback: You have not mentioned your research questions in the “study objectives” section of the introduction (where they should typically be included). In my comments, I suggested an appropriate place to add them.
The research design is described briefly.

Editor feedback: You have not explained how your research is conducted. In my comments, I recommended a place in the “study objectives” section where you could add a brief explanation of your methodology.
The thesis overview is added.

Editor feedback: However, note that a thesis overview typically only covers the remaining sections; it’s not necessary to outline the Introduction for a second time here.

The research questions have been answered.

Editor feedback: You’ve answered two of your three research questions, but the answer to the final research question seems to be missing (see my in-text comment). I also recommend restating the research questions in the Conclusion; this will remind readers of exactly what questions you’ve been focusing on and will demonstrate that you’ve definitely answered those questions.
The main question or problem statement has been answered.
The hypotheses have been confirmed or refused.
The right verb tense has been used.
No issues are interpreted.

Editor feedback: I recommend avoiding interpretation (including giving your own opinion or making a call for further research) in the early sections of this chapter. Instead, stick to answering the research questions and addressing the hypotheses. I've left comments where the text veered in this direction. Save these elements for the Discussion.
No new information has been given.

Editor feedback: On page 181, you mention two cases (sickle cell disease and Tay-Sachs) that you have not mentioned in any previous chapter . Be sure not to mention new findings in the Conclusion. Either go back to an earlier chapter and make note of these instances, or else delete the reference from the Conclusion.
No examples are used.
No extraneous information is provided.
No passages from the results have been cut and pasted.

Editor feedback: Much of this section takes sentences from previous sections, almost verbatim. The conclusion should use varied language and go beyond simply summarizing the main points. I have provided further comments on this in the document.

The validity of the research is demonstrated.
New insights are explained.

Editor feedback: Rather than comparing, contrasting and synthesizing the analyses, this section essentially summarizes the reviews. Consider focusing more on the analysis piece here.
The limitations of the research are discussed.

Editor feedback: The research limitations are not discussed. Instead, the limitations of big data analytics are discussed. Consider this difference as you finalize your paper.
It is indicated whether expectations were justified.

Editor feedback: Consider elaborating on this in the discussion section.
Possible causes and consequences of the results are discussed.
Suggestions for possible follow-up research are made.

Editor feedback: Consider adding this aspect.
No issues have been interpreted.
There are no suggestions for follow-up research that are too vague.
