Navigating the dissertation approval process can be daunting, especially when considering the potential need for revisions. A common concern we hear at Top Tier Editing is: “If I pay for editing services and my dissertation chair wants me to make additional changes, do I have to pay all over again?” We’re here to reassure you and explain our supportive services.
Ensure Compliance from the Start
To prevent unnecessary revisions, we ask that customers send us any formatting guidelines provided by their program. This ensures that your work meets all requirements before submission to your committee, reducing the likelihood of format-related revisions.
Revisions Assurance Add-On
For those anticipating further revisions, we offer a Revisions Assurance add-on. This service allows for additional revisions to up to a third of the original content. It’s ideal for those still refining their dissertation and provides extra peace of mind. This add-on is billed in advance when you place your initial order.
Hourly Rate for Additional Changes
If your dissertation chair requests additional changes after our initial editing, you don’t have to worry about paying the full editing fee again. We offer an option to pay an hourly rate for the required adjustments. This flexible approach ensures that you only pay for the specific changes needed.
When to Submit Your Draft
Another common question is: “Should I just submit my latest version with comments from my dissertation chair included?” The answer depends on the service you need. If you want us to edit the content, include the latest version with comments. If you’re looking for formatting services, submit the revised paper once you’re done with content changes, unless the comments are solely about formatting.
How to Ethically Work with an Editor
While we can help address comments from your chair, our services are limited to editing existing content. We cannot generate new content for your dissertation. However, we can refine your work to meet academic standards and align with the feedback provided.
