Frequently Asked Questions About Our PhD Editing Services

What is PhD editing?
PhD editing is the process of reviewing and polishing a doctoral thesis to improve its overall quality, coherence, and adherence to academic standards. We offer three distinct levels of editing: proofreading, stylistic editing and academic editing. Proofreading addresses errors and superficial inconsistencies. Stylistic editing, a more comprehensive option, includes proofreading and tackles substantial issues like structure, style, and sentence construction. Academic editing delves even deeper: besides proofreading, our editors will improve technical terms, update referencing with newer sources, remove plagiarism and add charts or diagrams for a professional feel.
What does a PhD editor do? Will they use AI tools to edit my PhD thesis?
Our PhD editors are highly experienced academics from top UK universities with expertise across a wide range of fields. Your dedicated editor will provide detailed, subject-specific feedback, refine your arguments, and improve the clarity of your work. We guarantee that our editors do not use AI tools to edit your documents. Unlike AI, they can interpret complex ideas, evaluate your reasoning, and ensure your thesis meets the highest academic standards, offering suggestions that are fully contextualised. You can even upgrade to a Zoom consultation to discuss your thesis or documents in detail with your editor.
Can I speak to my PhD editor?
Yes, you can get in touch with your dedicated PhD editor. This is one of the upgrades we offer as part of our PhD editing service to foster effective collaboration between you and your editor. Please notify us when placing your order if you wish to include this additional service. The call will last up to 30 minutes and you will have ample time to discuss the whole project with your editor.
Will my work and my details remain confidential?
Yes, this is one of our guarantees. As a registered business, we are bound by the Data Protection Act and the recent GDPR guidelines. For details, you can read our Privacy Policy. If you would like to go one step further, please provide us with an NDA and our Director will sign this for you.
My PhD subject is very specialised. Are you sure you can help?
We are able to process approximately 98% of all orders that are placed with us, including PhDs. If you cannot find your subject on our order form, please contact us and once we know full details, we'll determine if we can take your order forward.
How much will PhD editing cost and how long does it take to edit a PhD thesis?
The cost of our PhD editing service can vary widely based on several factors, such as the level of editing you require for your PhD thesis (formatting, proofreading, stylistic editing or academic editing) the length of your document and how quickly you need us to turn it around.
