Many colleges and universities permit or recommend the use of professional editorial support during the final stages of a thesis or dissertation. Our editing services are designed to help authors prepare manuscripts that align with institutional formatting standards, style guidelines, and academic conventions.
Engaging an experienced academic editor can support clarity, consistency, and presentation, helping authors address common issues that may otherwise delay the review process.
Dissertation Genius provides PhD-level APA style review and academic editing for completed dissertation and thesis drafts. We work collaboratively with authors to deliver customized editorial support that reflects the specific formatting, style, and submission guidelines of their college or university.
In addition, Dissertation Genius offers instructional tutoring and process guidance across the stages of the dissertation journey. This support focuses on helping students understand expectations, strengthen their own work, and navigate institutional requirements. All academic decisions and outcomes remain the responsibility of the author and their committee.
Comprehensive Editorial & APA Services
Take advantage of structured editing services that include:
Comprehensive Dissertation Editing
Your completed dissertation draft is reviewed for scholarly tone, organization, structural coherence, and grammatical accuracy. Tables, figures, and graphs are proofread for formatting consistency and presentation clarity. Editorial changes focus on language and structure and do not alter the substance of your research.
Full-Scope Academic Editing
Our editorial team provides language and formatting review for a wide range of student-authored academic documents, including coursework submissions, class papers, proposals, concept papers, prospectuses, and final dissertations. We do not write academic documents or add original content. Any suggestions offered are advisory and intended for the author’s consideration.
Reference Review & Currency Checks
Because dissertation projects often span extended periods of time, reference lists may require review. We examine references for formatting accuracy and completeness and flag citations that may warrant the author’s attention due to age or relevance. Final decisions regarding references remain with the author.
Citation & Reference Consistency Review
We conduct a detailed review of in-text citations and reference entries to ensure alignment with required style guidelines and institutional standards. This process helps identify missing or inconsistent citations and supports accurate attribution practices.
Preparation for Journal Submission
For students and graduates preparing manuscripts for journal submission, we review formatting, structure, and adherence to stated editorial guidelines. We may also provide general guidance on identifying journals whose scope aligns with your topic. We do not submit manuscripts or communicate with journals on a client’s behalf.
Our objective is to support clear, well-presented, and professionally edited scholarly writing authored entirely by you.
*We do not write dissertations, theses, or papers. This is not a writing service; our services are consistent with ethical guidelines for academic conduct.
