getting started with r3ciprocity

By now you’ve heard of R3ciprocity.com, the sharing economy proofreading and editing platform where you become a better writer by helping others become better writers. You’ve heard that helping others with their writing earns you credits towards having your own work reviewed by a R3ciprocity editor—credits that can even be withdrawn as real money. But how does R3ciprocity.com make you a better writer? While the core of R3ciprocity is the review process where your work is proofread and edited by a vetted R3ciprocity editor, the platform offers a growing number of built-in writing and editing tools for you to take advantage of. Author bio: Matt Murphy grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He now lives in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife and daughter. Matt is a freelance proofreader, editor, and technical writer with nearly 10 years experience as a business and technical communicator working in federal government HR. He finds a well-written user manual extremely satisfying, and a good cup of tea even more so. R3ciprocity’s writing and editing tools R3ciprocity’s writing and editing tools are a great way to make sure that your paper or article is free of common spelling and grammar errors before you send it on to be reviewed by a R3ciprocity editor. R3ciprocity can even help you make sure your language is appropriate for your audience and that your writing is free of (accidental!) plagiarism. Get in the habit of using these tools before sending your paper to the editing queue and you’ll soon spot many of the most common writing issues on your own. By taking care of these before you send your document for review, you give your editor the space to think about how the ideas in your paper could be taken to the next level—instead of spending their time looking for typos. R3ciprocity’s writing and editing tools are still evolving. Currently, there are three tools available, with more planned in the future: Plagiarism checker Whether plagiarism is intended or not, accusations of plagiarism can have serious long-lasting consequences for a writer. Colleges and universities take plagiarism very seriously, and so does R3ciprocity. R3ciprocity.com’s AI-powered plagiarism checker can help identify passages that may require credit or attribution. Grammar checker Grammar is more than just knowing if a comma is in the correct place. R3ciprocity.com’s grammar checker scans your document for potential problems in eight different categories. It highlights each instance in your document, making it easy to spot patterns in your writing. Want to be sure the words you chose are telling the story you want to tell? R3cprocity.com’s grammar checker can help! Tone checker R3ciprocity.com’s tone checker tells you if your writing voice is positive, negative, or neutral. It employs a machine learning algorithm (Learn more about sentiment analysis) to determine a score for each paragraph of text, as well as a score for the entire document. Are your ideas presented in a tone that best tells your story? R3ciprocity.com’s tone checker helps you visualize how will your readers respond to your ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fktQG_V24nE Professor Maslach on sentiment analysis and R3ciprocity.com To find R3ciprocity’s writing tools, log into your R3ciprocity.com account.
