The author of a text is not identified by a single word or isolated error. The expert analyses a pattern of features: vocabulary, syntax, composition, recurring expressions, punctuation characteristics, linguistic habits and genre-specific manner of writing.

Comparable samples from the presumed author are particularly important.

What you can do

  • collect the disputed text and its context;
  • select comparable samples from the presumed author;
  • formulate appropriate questions for the expert;
  • prepare a specialist opinion or an expert report review.
