The Criteria For Hiring Professional Academic Editing Services

By Virginia Murray


Errors in academic papers will affect your performance and could extend to graduation. Your performance also affects your career prospects, leading to unwarranted long term losses. Education experts advise students to hire professional academic editing services. However, it would be risky to pick anyone to edit your paper. What should you look for when hiring an editor?

Determine the type and qualifications of the editor you need for the project. This will depend on your topic, level of study and the kind of editing required on the paper, among such other unique factors. For example, a mathematics paper requires different skills or training to edit compared to physics or biology. The editor required for a PhD paper will also be different from one handling a college paper. You need skills that are commensurate to the standards of your project.

The editor hired must be a professionally trained editor. Training equips editors with skills to understand language, choice of words, formatting styles and other technical issues only known to editors. Training therefore guarantees quality work.

Hire a professional whose basic training is related to the topic of your paper. An editor needs to understand more than language. Technical knowledge helps writers to choose words that would preserve the meaning of a sentence and maintain the context of your discussion. They will also ensure that your paper is formatted according to the guidelines that govern your area of study.

Will you be hiring a freelancer or your paper will be handled by a bureau? Freelancers offer greater flexibility and are cheaper. However, their work might be unreliable when they fall sick or have emergencies. Bureaus have quality assurance structures and a larger group of editors. This means that your work will certainly be delivered. You will pay more for such convenience.

Demand commitment to deliver the work within the deadline set. Most papers are edited a few days to the submission deadline. Without the luxury of time, you need an editor who understands the need to meet deadlines and avoid penalties.

Charges are a concern for all students. The determinant of charges is the amount of work to be done on the paper, your topic and urgency to submit the paper, among others. Get quotations from several editors to help you choose the most reasonable package. It will be a huge mistake to compromise quality in search of lower prices. It affects your performance and career prospects.

Hire an editor who guarantees quality work. Quality is guarantee by possession of appropriate tools and skills. Experience as an editor will also give you an assurance of quality. Read reviews to know the reputation of your target editor and whether he or she will meet your expectations.

Take the shortcut of getting a referral of editors from friends, colleagues, seniors and people in your circles. People around you will only refer that editor who they have worked with in the past and gotten quality work. They have tested the work done by such an editor and ascertained that it is quality. This saves you the trouble of working with amateurs and strangers whose performance is unknown.

The quality of editor you hire determines your performance. Begin the search early to avoid last minute rush that may result in poor quality work. Only a professional guarantees the quality of work you desire.
