Dissertation Editing Services

Editing is required to make a dissertation more presentable, readable, and understandable to the target audience. The process helps scholars to impress evaluators and supervisors with error-free and high-quality dissertations by removing any communication barriers between the writer and the target reader. These barriers may be related to a lack of English language proficiency that results in the inability to effectively or adequately express thoughts and ideas, structural inconsistencies, poor layout, and formatting errors.

Our professional dissertation editing services are helpful because we ensure any errors or inconsistencies are fixed before submission of the document. A qualitative research to investigate the challenges of academic reading and writing at the Malaysian University of English-as-a-Foreign Language (EFL) had 16 lecturers interviewed. The study showed that 62.5% of the lecturers interviewed cited English language as a barrier among students in academic writing, with 75% of the tutors facing challenges in grading students’ academic documents because of poorly expressed ideas. The students were also found to be using unorganized structure in their academic work. One of the lecturers recommended editing and proofreading as a remedy for the students’ weaknesses in dissertations and research project write-ups before submission.

Self-editing is an essential skill for all scholars working on their dissertations. However, some scholars may be unable to meet this requirement because of factors such as poor language proficiency, short periods given for preparing the dissertation, and lack of exposure to academic writing during their undergraduate study period. According to the above research, it was difficult to produce a dissertation within the short study period given for graduate students during which they had to complete other coursework requirements, prepare and defend proposals, write, and defend dissertations. All these challenges affected the quality of the dissertations produced by scholars despite the high expectations from examiners and supervisors.

We offer dissertation editing services that are helpful among scholars in the 21^st century who may be facing the same challenges. The services are also a relief to the supervisors and tutors because after a dissertation is edited by our dissertation editing experts, they do not have to deal with poorly organized and incomprehensible drafts. This article contains a discussion on the factors we consider when editing a dissertation.
