Mistakes To Avoid When Looking For Dissertation Editing Services

By Debra Ross


It is the responsibility of a student to submit his or her PhD paper without errors. Errors in typing or syntax will distort your arguments and lower the quality of arguments you are making. It takes the assistance of expert dissertation editing services to polish a PhD paper and make it sensible to read. However, a lot of students are making grave mistakes when hiring editors. Here are common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Waiting till it is too late to look for an editor. Begin searching for qualified editors or service providers as early as possible. This should happen by the time you are beginning to craft your paper. Last minute rush results in enlisting of substandard services because you do not have ample time to vet the editor. This will affect your performance.

Failure to contact professionals is a grave mistake that will prove costly. An editor is supposed to be trained and qualified to offer the service. Scrutinize where the editor was trained and his or her area of specialization. The profile of this editor will provide necessary directions. It will be easier to communicate and rectify mistakes when dealing with a professional as opposed to an amateur.

Focusing on price instead of quality should be discouraged. While students have limited resources, this is not a reason to get poor quality services. Low prices are characterized by poor quality because the editor has no time. You would better pay a premium price and get quality services instead of paying less only to fail or submit substandard work.

Submitting the complete paper for editing at the last minute is discouraged. Do not wait until the last minute. Once each chapter is completed, it should be submitted. Students are usually in a hurry at the last minute to meet deadlines. Pushing the editor to deliver on your paper will be a difficult task. However, he will have less work when previous chapters have already been edited.

Choosing a non-technical editor for your paper will lead to problems with your idea. You need to work with two types of editors. There is the editor who focuses on language and another who understands your topic. The technical editor is supposed to evaluate the strength of your arguments. This can be done by your senior in the department or a peer. It ensures that the ideas espoused are valid and can stand academic scrutiny.

Failure to proofread a paper before submitting it will prove costly. You still hold the responsibility of what is in your paper despite hiring an editor. As one edits, the choice of words may twist the meaning or misrepresent an idea. During proofreading, you ensure that your ideas are as you wanted them to be. The final say over what is in your paper remains with you and not the editor.

Get a referral of the best editors in the market. The referral should come from a friend, family member, peer or associate who has worked with an editor in the past. Since the services of the editor have been tested, you have certainty that your paper will meet the highest expected academic standards. Do not gamble with your PhD paper by working with amateur editors.
