I love how i can cut and paste another….

I love how I can cut and paste another source and Scibbr provides me with a full citation. I use it all the time and can't image how I would do citations without it!

Super Dienst

Wie immer super Dienstleistung und sehr schnelle Lieferung der Korrektur. Die Mitarbeiter*innen sind super freundlich!

The most helpful APA tool I have found yet

This is tremendous and beyond helpful while I am trying to get my Master's Degree. For some reason, creating references is always the most frustrating part of the paper for me, and this helps in more ways than I can explain.

Great Referencing tool

Doug is the best editor ever! Very happy with Scribbr!

Doug is the best! I got lucky being paired with him. My timeline was shortened beyond my control and he was able to return results expeditiously! Along the way, realized some formatting challenges and Doug was able to assist in resolving very quickly. He made some incredible suggestions and it took my final version to the next level. I was able to successfully defend my dissertation in time to graduate!

Ich zitiere meine Hausarbeiten immer mit Scribbr nach Havard. Manche Quellen muss ich leider noch manuell eintragen - aber auch das ist am ende des Tages einfacher ,als jede Quelle eigenständig schreiben zu müssen. Hatte bisher noch nie Probleme in Hausarbeiten bezüglich der Zitate. :)

At Scribbr, we promise to make every customer 100% happy with the service we offer. Our philosophy: Your complaint is always justified – no denial, no doubts.

Our customer support team is here to find the solution that helps you the most, whether that’s a free new edit or a refund for the service.

Yes, in the order process you can indicate your preference for American, British, or Australian English .

If you don’t choose one, your editor will follow the style of English you currently use. If your editor has any questions about this, we will contact you.

Yes, you can upload your document in sections.

We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.

However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if

• You send us your text as soon as possible and
• You can be flexible about the deadline.

Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance that your previous editor is not available.

If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the  Scribbr Improvement Model  and will deliver high-quality work.

Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.

Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.

If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!

When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.

However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.

This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.

Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!

Our professional phd-editors will guarantee your document will conform to the submission guidelines of your university or academic journal. let us take care of that for you..

Contact Us   Submit Documents

Students often find formatting to be the most frustrating part of writing their dissertations, as they are primarily focussed on getting their ideas down on paper, rather than getting page numbers in the right spot and the headings accurate and uniform.

Dr. Jennifer Pollan, Managing Editor

Our Formatting Services Include

• Tables, graphs, figures, charts, and equations (we can create them or reformat per any style guide)
• Preliminary pages
• Table of contents, list of figures, and list of tables
• In-text citations, references, footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography
• Margins, running heads, headers, headings, title pages, and pagination
• Fonts, punctuation, acronyms, indentation, block quotes, etc.

We guarantee your formatting will meet the submission guidelines of any journal article or university. Submit your document for a free quote.

We Only Employ Editors With PhDs Who Have Experience and Expertise in Formatting Using the Following Styles:

See samples of our editing and formatting styles, ready to get started.

Contrary to many online editing and consultation services, we do not offer one standardised approach to pricing. Rather, for every order, we carefully assess your document and provide a quote that directly correlates with the work your document requires and the services you have requested. To get started, either email us or submit your documents online. One of our PhD-academic consultants will carefully review them and send you an offer of services including a quote and exact turnaround time.

If the proposed offer of services meets your needs, we can accept the first payment and begin the work. However, if you decide you would like to modify the proposed offer of services to better suit your needs, please let us know and we will adjust the order accordingly. We offer discounted retainer agreements for clients interested in working with us long-term.

The turnaround time for an order is in direct proportion to the order’s size and scope. A full-length thesis is generally completed within 10-14 business days from receipt of payment, while a shorter document, such as a chapter or two typically takes around 5-7 business days to complete. Expedited services are available for a proportionate fee.

I do know there are a lot of internet scams and I was really wary about engaging with companies initially online, many of their PhD tutors from other companies I contacted were not based in the UK. The reason I chose your company was a recommendation from my sister-in-law who is an academic at UCL and also because of the prompt and personal response of your colleague and connection from the beginning. I would say the service is more expensive than some others but I feel that the quality of the work outweighs this and the support. I’ve qualified now and have a post;) if there are any other of my student friends who need you guys I’ll be sure to recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

There are several advantages to doing business with a professional firm instead of a freelancer. Here are a few:

Quality: We specialise in editing theses and only hire doctorates from highly ranked University's. Every day, our staff review, edit, and format students’ theses. Not only are our editors and statisticians experienced, but each individual was hired through a rigorous screening process to ensure our clients receive the highest level of quality services. It is easy for a freelance editor to say what they want about themselves and their abilities; we’ve professionally trained and tested our staff to ensure they have the skills required to maintain the quality our clients have come to expect.

No Missed Deadlines: Freelance editors are known for failing to meet deadlines or disappearing after payment. This is often because freelance editors can only take on a few projects at a time, and if they become too busy, they may not prioritise your order over other clients’ orders. With a professional firm, you’re assured that your deadline will be met. If your editor or consultant becomes ill or is unable to complete the order, we would simply replace them with another one of our PhD staff.

Flexibility: Every person is unique and comes with their own personality and stylistic preferences. If you find that you’re not connecting with your editor or consultant, we can replace them with another editor, at no extra cost, to ensure that you’re completely satisfied.

Longevity: We are an accredited business, here for the long run, whether you need us today, tomorrow, or next year. We aren’t going anywhere.

Yes, absolutely. All of your interactions and the work that we do for you are 100% confidential. Please let us know if you would like us to send you our confidentiality agreement.

Of course! Once we agree to the general terms, we would be happy to draw up a contract and send it to you for review and approval.

The turnaround time varies, depending on the complexity of each order. We will provide you with the exact turnaround time for your specific order when we send you your quote and offer of services. Generally, documents containing fewer than 50 pages take around 5 to 7 business days to edit, whereas full-length theses typically take around 10-14 business days. We do offer expedited services at an additional cost.

That’s not a problem. Although all of our professional editors and statisticians are experienced and very good at what they do, sometimes two people don’t work well together. If you feel that your editor or statistician is not meeting your expectations, please let us know, and we will assign another editor/statistician to your project.

While no edit is going to be 100% perfect every time, formatting or typographical/objective errors should be very rare. If you find any errors in your document, please return the document as soon as possible and we will fix the errors free of charge.

If you send your documents to us, we would be happy to review them and let you know which level of editing appears most appropriate for your project. We’re also happy to discuss the options available to you over the phone.  +44 20 3992 8489

Yes. Please send us the document you would like edited and we will edit one page at no cost to you. We hope this will provide you with a good sense of our editorial style. The typical turnaround on a sample edit is two to three business days.

Yes. Please visit our editing page. There you will find samples of all levels of editing in APA style , Harvard style , Bluebook style , Chicago/Turabian style , and MLA style.

Most orders do not require in-person meetings. However, we may be able to schedule in-person meetings for projects that are particularly large or involved.

Yes. Our consultants and project managers are always available by phone. Many of our editing services also include a follow-up chat with your editor. If not, phone consultations can be added to any order for an additional charge.  Please visit our coaching page for more details.

No. Under no circumstances do we write content for academic submission and we unequivocally do not support plagiarism or academic dishonesty of any kind.

We offer a wide range of payment plans, though a deposit is always due upfront to initiate your order, and full payment is typically expected by the time the order is complete. Some exceptions can be made for returning clients with extenuating circumstances. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.

No, it is not. Many supervisor recommend their students seek professional editing assistance to ensure that the text is free of technical errors and properly formatted. The service we provide focuses on improving the mechanics and clarity of your content, rather than writing new content, which would be considered plagiarism.

Thesis Formatting Service in UK

An eye for detail is a necessity while developing and presenting a doctoral research document/thesis clearly and flawlessly. Your faculty always expects a thesis that is error-free and well-formatted as per the university guidelines so they can easily examine your copy in a systematic manner for various sections like data analysis and citations.

Most of the students are over-burdened with other sections like writing chapters or reviewing literature, and they often neglect the basic layout formatting section. This might hamper the overall document quality, and the chances of approval might decrease drastically. It is highly important that students take the support and guidance of a professional proofreader at this stage so they do not end up presenting distorted and distracting content to their committees.

At Geoff and Francis, our formatting team can lend support to all such requirements. Our cost-effective thesis formatting service in UK guarantees full adherence to your college/university-prescribed guidelines for layout formatting. We take care of your final draft and make sure that it is not only compliant with the prescribed format, but is also presentable to target readers without any grammatical, spelling, punctuation, stylistic, and inconsistency error.

Under our thesis formatting service in UK, our team examines your research documents for issues related to the publication style, headings, subheadings, pagination, margins, font style, and even line spacing in text, tables, footnotes, and endnotes. Do you still feel that you lack awareness about thesis formatting? Do not take stress and just write in to us at [email protected] . We are always there to support you in your troublesome times. Contact us today to avail PhD thesis formatting help.

PhD Thesis Formatting Services: Trick for a Professional Thesis Outlook

Formatting your thesis is the last thread attached to your PhD program. It is the face of your thesis, the ability to dress up and look your best. It is how your document should look like i.e., a perfect picture of research. Accurate formatting is reflected in the well-laid down paragraphs of your document with all the pieces fitting together flawlessly. It should look appealing to the readers; valuable enough to make a difference in the research community. So, format your thesis, break that thread and get across the finish line. But it's not as easy as it sounds, right? Even little mistakes like the use of a wrong font in a graph can be a setback for your academic goals. Even if your dissertation is written in a high-quality English language, even if your research conduct is perfect, if the formatting is inadequate, you can say goodbye to those lovely academic marks. Most of the students find themselves lost in the loop of formatting their PhD thesis, they are not exactly sure how to get on with the whole process. Formatting is a process that you first need to learn, comprehend and then implement. When you are in this loop of uncertainty, it is best to seek help from professionals to book all the points of correct thesis formatting.

PhD Thesis Formatting Service in UK includes

• Methods of pagination
• Preparing and numbering the figures and tables
• Preference of referencing style
• Notes placement
• Preparing text
• Headings and sub-headings
• Table/Graphs/Pictures
• Table of contents
• Citation compliance
• Layout formatting

Very good customer support

I been given 24 hours customer support which really retained me most confident that my dissertation writing mission was going well. Thank you so much for your Assistance.

Paying chapter by chapter.

Probably one of the top in dissertation writing services. I had a 60 pages dissertation and it was a bit expensive for me. I contacted them and they divided the amount into installments. In essence I was paying chapter by chapter.

FAQs About Our Dissertation Services

What does a dissertation include.

Here is what our dissertation services include; although it will be up to you to decide whether you need to order the entire dissertation paper or the individual chapters:

• Introduction
• Literature Review
• Methodology

How quickly can you complete my dissertation?

Since dissertations can be long and require a lot of research, we request you to allow our writers at least one week to complete the paper to the desired quality standard.

Do you always find a suitable writer? What happens if you can’t find a writer for my dissertation?

A qualified writer who can complete the project within the deadline is our team’s first preference. We only assign the work if we are 100% sure that the writer will complete it to the desired quality standard in time. If, however, we cannot assign the task to any writer after you have made the payment, we will refund you the full amount. However, such an incident rarely occurs.

What quality of work can I expect from ResearchProspect?

• First Quality Standard (70 % or above)
• 2:1 Quality Standard (60-70 %)
• 2:2 Quality Standard (50-60%)
• For PHD students, we offer one quality standard only.

Our online order form will let you pay the full amount or only the 50% advance payment to confirm your order.

Thesis & Dissertation Formatting Services

If you have requests for services not listed here (such as table and image design or importing .pdf files), we can likely fulfill them in a reasonable amount of time at an hourly rate. We can also research and add your missing references, citations, and reference information. 

Our Promise

We will ensure, as we have since 2002, that the final draft you receive from us is completely ready to publish or turn in and will work with you until it's ready or refund your payment.   

Reference List & Citation Formatting

Our citation style formatting service addresses tiny overlooked errors (and the major ones) in your reference lists and parenthetical or footnote citations. We also cross-check your reference list to ensure that cited sources are listed in the references and vice versa. You review a sample of our citation formatting work by visiting our samples library .

Layout Formatting Service

Our layout formatting service ensures that your dissertation or thesis complies with university guideline requirements and covers the following elements of thesis dissertation formatting:

• Preliminary Pages:  In your preliminary pages, we create your tables of contents and lists of tables of figures, paginate your pages (which are usually paginated differently from the body of your work), correct the layout of your title pages, and anything else required by your manual.
• Font, Spacing, Margins, and Tabs:  We won't lie: spacing, margins, and tabs are among the most time-consuming and detail-oriented aspects of formatting. In every document we format, we find dozens of misplaced tabs, extra spaces between headings, differently spaced paragraphs, 
• Pagination:   The correct placement of page numbers can vary from university to university. We've mastered the Microsoft Word tools and features required to format and place your page numbers exactly where they're required to be.
• Figures & Tables: Figures and tables present thesis and dissertation data in comprehensive form, but even with sound data and presentation, committees can find fault with easy-to-overlook elements of figure and table presentation. Our formatting service checks and correctly arranges table tags and the relationship of tables and figures to text.
• Headings & Subheadings: The placement and formatting of chapter and section headings in theses and dissertations need to comply with university standards and be consistent throughout. As we move through your document, we'll check and repair heading and subheading formatting.

Our Formatting Service Rates

Our thesis and dissertation formatting rates are calculated based on your document's total word count divided by 250 words per page. There are three ways to order these formatting services: individually, combined as a formatting package, or with our editing service included.

Full Formatting Service

Michael Done Founder and Manager of Format MyThesis Thesis Formatting Specialist

Welcome. are you ….

• A PhD or Masters candidate struggling to format your thesis?
• Wasting precious time trying to get it right but still not getting the professional presentation you want?
• Running out of time with your submission deadline looming and still lots of other loose ends to tie up?

I can definitely help you …

Introducing my full formatting service.

Let me do all the hands-on formatting for you.  In a fortnight or less!

This is how it works:  You hand me your thesis on a Monday morning.  By Friday afternoon of the following week, I hand the thesis back to you, fully formatted and ready to submit to Examiners (or to your Supervisors for their final review).

To ensure my formatting aligns exactly with your requirements, I may need to ask you for clarification or decisions on points that arise along the way.  And at the start of the second week, I’ll need you to review my first fully formatted draft and provide feedback, so that I can further fine-tune the formatting.  But apart from that, you leave it all with me.

• How it works
• Core Services : What will you get?
• Extended Services and related fees
• Other Terms and Conditions

Book NOW  ▲

Use the calendar below to book in for my Full Formatting Service .  I reserve two weeks (10 working days) starting on a Monday to work on your thesis.  This includes a feedback step at the beginning of the second week where you review my formatted document and identify any final adjustments needed.

If you’re not 100% sure of your schedule, or if your preferred start date is unavailable, I recommend you book anyway.  Choose a commencement date based on your best guess or second preference.  The booking calendar often fills up very quickly, so it’s best to get in early.  Once you’re in the calendar, it’s often possible for me to move your booking to a different date, but virtually impossible to squeeze you into a packed calendar at the last minute.

Within 1-2 business days of receiving your booking, I’ll contact you by phone so we can chat more about your exact requirements, and address any questions or issues you might have.  If your preferred start date is unavailable, we can discuss this too as I sometimes have flexibility to move bookings to other fortnights.

FREEZE ON UPDATES DURING THE FORMATTING PERIOD:  During our formatting fortnight, there is a freeze on content updates. It’s impractical for me to accommodate content changes while I’m formatting.  So if you’re still needing to work on content changes (to your own copy) while I’m formatting, you’ll have to manually re-apply those changes when I return the formatted thesis to you.  Changing content may sometimes disrupt my earlier formatting, and depending on the time it takes me to fix those disruptions, you may incur extra charges. So it’s simpler and more economical if you book a fortnight where you can accommodate a content freeze.

How it works ▲

• You first receive an automatic email response acknowledging your booking.
• I then call you to chat about your thesis, and follow up with an email requesting more specific information to give me a more exact understanding of your thesis and your specific requirements.
• Based on the information you send me, I provide you with a cost estimate.  I then hold your booking for up to 2 weeks while you decide if you wish to proceed.
• If you decide to proceed, then within that same 2-week period you pay a non-refundable deposit to confirm your booking. Bookings automatically lapse after two weeks unless the deposit has been paid.
• On receipt of your deposit, I lock your booking date into my calendar.
• I carry out the formatting work, in accordance with your stated requirements and preferences.
• I maintain close contact with you throughout the process to ensure my formatting aligns with your needs and preferences.
• I also notify you of any unforeseen issues I encounter that may have implications for our schedule or costs, and I outline your options.  You can decide on the action you want taken (and by whom – you or me) to resolve these issues.
• You check through the thesis and advise of any formatting corrections or adjustments needed.
• I apply the required adjustments, then send the revised thesis (as a PDF) for you to re-check.
• We repeat this cycle until all outstanding formatting matters have been resolved.
• You do a final check, then let me know the formatting is approved. (Of course, if you notice something wrong that has escaped our earlier detection, I fix it).
• You also pay the balance outstanding.  If your bank doesn’t do transfers instantly, you simply provide me with a screen-shot or other suitable confirmation that the payment has been made.
• I send you the thesis as a Word document for your final content updates. Then you return it to me so I can carry out the finishing steps.
• I send you the fully formatted thesis as a Word document in which you can make any last-minute content changes.
• You return the updated Word document to me.
• I check your changes for possible impact on the formatting and make relevant formatting corrections and adjustments.  Note that the  Full formatting Service includes two free hours to cover this.  Unless you make major changes (which is unusual at such a late stage), two hours normally covers it comfortably.
• I then generate and send to you the final submission-ready files: (i) the up-to-date Word file (for later update if the Examiners require amendments); and (ii) two PDF files: the Screen Edition of your thesis for electronic submission (optimised for on-screen reading), and a Print Edition (optimised for 2-sided printing) in case you need to submit a hard copy.

All prices quoted on this site are in Australian Dollars ($AUD). If you are living in Australia, the prices quoted include GST.

• Core Servic es Fee : $2,200

Core Services cover the complete formatting of a thesis with up to 80,000 words (total across the whole document), 10 chapters, 10 appendices, 10 figures, 10 tables, 10 equations, 40 internal cross-references, and 10 pages imported from external documents (e.g. PDFs, approval letters, questionnaires). The thesis chapters can be supplied to me in up to 10 separate files, and another 10 files containing appendices and other front and back matter sections (e.g. abstract, references, acknowledgements).

Core Services include the creation of two editions of your final thesis: (i) a Screen Edition optimised for on-screen reading; and (ii) a Print Edition optimised for hard copy printing.

Details of all included benefits are set out in the Core Services section below.

DEPOSIT: To secure your booking and lock it into my schedule, you’ll need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $300 within two weeks of making your booking.  For bookings made less than two weeks before the intended commencement date, the deposit must be paid immediately.

• Extended Services Fees  

If your thesis is over 80,000 words long, has unusually large numbers of chapters, appendices, tables, figures, etc., or has other special formatting requirements, you may require services that extend beyond the Core Services.  In these cases, additional fees apply, details of which are set out in the Extended Services section further down this page.

• Itemised cost estimate  

Prior to confirming your booking and paying your deposit, I’ll provide you with an itemised cost estimate based on your detailed requirements.  It will include the Core Services fee and, if relevant, any Extended Services fees that might apply in your case.

NOTE: I provide a cost estimate , not a firm quote.  My estimates are generally very accurate, but occasionally there are formatting complications which don’t emerge until I’m actually working on the document (much like the unexpected under-the-bonnet issues that sometimes emerge when you get your car serviced).  If this happens, I’ll advise you and await your approval before taking any action that will result in extra costs.

Core Services : What will you get?  ▲

A fully formatted, university-compliant thesis document – structured, styled and stable

• I deliver to you a robustly structured, submission-ready document which meets your university’s requirements for structure and layout, and which follows standard academic publishing practice.
• I apply consistent page layout throughout the thesis, e.g. margins, line spacing, page numbering (Roman and Arabic), page headers and footnote positioning and numbering.
• I apply a consistent, distinctive style to every type of content element in your thesis, i.e. headings, subheadings, main text, quotes, footnotes, tables, captions, etc.
• I implement stabilising “smart” features to your headings, captions and cross-references (e.g. “ see Figure 1.3″ ) which minimise the chance of formatting disruptions if you need to make late changes to your thesis content.
• If requested, I ensure compliance with APA formatting guidelines, insofar as they can be applied to a thesis. Specifically this covers: heading styles/indentation; optional running head (on a chapter-by-chapter basis); body text, quotation and list styles/indentation; caption, footnote and table note styles/spacing; data table styling.  Note that does not include checking or ensuring compliance with APA referencing or writing standards. These are editorial matters, and need to have been attended to before you send your thesis to me. (See Exclusions below.)

“Smart” headings and automated Table of Contents

• I apply self-adjusting “smart” numbering to every chapter title, appendix title and numbered section, guaranteeing automatic and 100% correct numbering throughout your thesis.
• I generate an automated Table of Contents (TOC) based on these titles and headings.

“Smart” captions and automated List of Figures and List of Tables

• I apply auto-numbering and self-adjusting “smart” captions to up to 10 figures and 10 tables.
• I generate an automated List of Figures and List of Tables based on these captions.

“Smart” cross-references

• I convert up to 40 cross-references (e.g. “ see Figure 1.3″ )  to “smart” cross-references.  A “smart” cross-reference hot-links to its target object, i.e. if the reader clicks on a cross-reference, they’re taken straight to the referenced target object.  Also, if the target heading number or caption number ever changes, a smart cross-reference will auto-adjust to match the change.
• I resize, crop and (if requested) apply borders to up to 10 simple figure graphics (e.g. charts, photographs, jpeg images).

NOTE : By contrast, some complex figures sit outside the Core Services  and usually incur an  Extended Services Fee.  These are typically either: (i) composite graphics that have been assembled inside Word using multiple shapes and images; or (ii) image galleries where multiple images need to be presented as a grid or matrix. 

• I format up to 10 simple tables, i.e. standard grid structures using no merged cells (except in “stacked” multi-level column headers).  I apply a consistent, elegant (and APA-compliant) table style to all your tables.

NOTE : By contrast, some complex tables sit outside the Core Services  and usually incur an  Extended Services Fee.  These are typically: (i) unusually long, i.e. span more than 2 full pages; (ii) make use of merged data cells; (iii) have an irregular row/column structure; or (iv) have multiple paragraphs of text or multiple data values inside individual cells.

• I ensure that wherever tables span multiple pages, their column headers are automatically re-displayed at the top of the second and subsequent pages.
• I correctly position and sequentially number up to 10 equations .

Page imports from external documents

• I import up to a total of 10 pages (as single page images) from external documents (e.g. publications in PDF files, or approval letters, questionnaires and forms in Word documents).

To ensure that the original formatting of external Word documents is perfectly preserved, I don’t copy/paste these documents directly into your thesis, as this nearly always distorts the original formatting.  Instead I  convert them to page images (the equivalent of scanning each page) then pull those page images into your thesis as perfect replicas of the originals.

Page Layout Optimisation

• Page Layout Optimisation enhances the readability and overall aesthetic of your thesis, giving it a discernible “professional edge”.  I scrutinise and optimise the layout of every page of your thesis. Where needed, I adjust the positioning of page-breaks and subtly (but indiscernibly) compress images, tables and text in order to:
• Minimise gaping white space at the bottom of pages,
• Minimise ragged ends of paragraphs, e.g. where there’s just a single word on the final line,
• Minimise ragged ends of chapters, e.g. where there are just 2-3 lines on the final page,
• Maximise flow and continuity for the reader, i.e. a smooth, “easy read”.

Print Edition and Screen Edition of your thesis

• When I’ve completed your formatting, I provide you with two PDF editions of your thesis: (i) the Screen Edition, optimised for on-screen viewing (which is how most Examiners will be reading your thesis); and (ii) the Print Edition , optimised for production of a printed copy (if your university requires it or if an Examiner requests it).

PRE-SUBMISSION BONUS: I allocate two free hours to review and correct any formatting disruptions resulting from late changes you need to make to your thesis.

• After I’ve completed the formatting, you may need to make late changes to your thesis content (most people do).  No problem.  I set aside two free hours of my time to scan for and correct any formatting disruptions resulting from your late changes.
• Unless you make fairly substantial changes (which is unusual at such a late stage), this 2-hour free allowance is normally plenty of time.
• In the unusual event that more than two hours are needed, the additional time is charged at $200/hr .

POST-EXAMINER BONUS : I offer two heavily discounted hours to review and correct formatting disruptions resulting from changes that the Examiners require you to make to your thesis.

• If your Examiners require you to make changes after their assessment, you may need follow-up formatting services to rectify any formatting disruptions arising from those changes.  Your first two hours will be charged at a 50% discounted rate of $100/hr .  If more than two hours are needed, the additional time is charged at $200/hr .

Exclusions ▲

Please note that I do not provide any of the following services:

• Editing, proof-reading, spell-checks and grammar-checks.
• Checking, correcting or manipulating the syntax or structure of citations within your text.
• Checking, correcting or manipulating the syntax or structure of references within your bibliography.
• Generating a bibliography, either manually or using referencing software.  This has to be taken care of (generally using a product like EndNote ) before you send your thesis to me.
• Formatting manual tables of contents, tables of figures, etc.  I always replace these with automated tables based on “smart” headings and captions, to ensure 100% accuracy and zero manual maintenance.
• Checking, correcting or manipulating any aspect of your content to achieve compliance with particular writing standards or policies, e.g. APA 7 offers guidelines on the use of digits (e.g. “1”) and words (e.g. “one”) for numbers appearing in the main body text.  I do not check for your compliance on this.
• Checking, correcting or manipulating your use of upper/lower case and punctuation in titles, headings and captions.

Extended Services and related fees  ▲

If your thesis is unusually long or complex, or if your requirements fall outside the standard Core Services parameters, some Extended Services Fees will apply.

• Some Extended Services are charged on the basis of quantities
• All the rest are based on time taken and are charged at a rate of $200/hr

Extended Services charged on the basis of quantities:

• Additional words (Core Services cover up to 80,000 words) Cost: $20 for each additional 1,000 words above 80,000
• Additional chapters and appendices (Core Services cover up to 10 Chapters and 10 Appendices.) Cost: $20 for each additional chapter or appendix
• Additional source files (Core Services assume that the thesis is supplied to me in up to 10 separate chapter files plus 10 files containing appendices and other front and back matter sections). Cost: $20 per additional source file
• Additional tables (Core Services allow for up to 10 tables) Cost: $10 per additional table
• Additional figures (Core Services allow for up to 10 figures) Cost: $10 per additional figure
• Additional numbered equations   (Core Services include formatting of up to 10 numbered equations) Cost: $10 per additional equation

Extended Services charged on the basis of time taken:

The prices shown for the various items below are indicative only.  They are based on the typical time taken, but every thesis is unique so actual prices can vary above and below these amounts.

• Formatting complex tables, i.e. long tables (extending over 2 full pages); tables with merged data cells; tables with multiple paragraphs of text or multiple numerical values inside individual cells; tables comprising multiple joined tables; tables with coloured or shaded cells Typical cost: $20  per corrected table
• Re-structuring/resizing tables to fit wide tables within page boundaries, manipulating positioning of data elements or paragraphs of text to achieve correct horizontal alignment of related data across columns. Typical cost: $20  per corrected table
• Creating a customised table style – e.g. a special colour scheme for text or borders, or decorative features such as alternating (banded) row or column colours. (Note that this is a very unusual requirement – normally my standard table style does the job perfectly.) Typical cost: $50 per new style

Table data imports from Excel

• Importing table data from external documents (e.g. Excel spreadsheets) then reformatting/restructuring them to match the style of other native Word tables in the thesis. Typical cost: $20   per imported simple table; $40   per imported complex table .
• Converting multi-shape complex graphics (that you’ve built within Word ) into simple scalable images . Typical cost: $20 per complex graphic
• Formatting image galleries (i.e. a grid or matrix of images with more than 2 rows or 2 columns). Typical cost: $20 per gallery (2×3; 3×2; 3×3); $30 (2×4; 4×2; 3×4; 4×3; 4×4); $40 (2×5; 5×2; 3×5; 5×3; 4×5; 5×4)  
• Redesigning or enhancing graphics . (Note: This is a labour-intensive activity.  I’m very happy to do it for you, but it’s to your advantage cost-wise to have your graphics well-designed and finalised before they come to me.) Typical cost: $50-$100 per enhanced graphic

Figure imports from PowerPoint

• Importing slides from PowerPoint Typical cost: $20 per imported slide (provided no redesign or enhancement is required)

Numbered Equations

• Positioning and numbering extra equations. ( Core Services include positioning and numbering of 10 equations.) Typical cost: $10 per additional equation
• Importing additional pages (as page images) from PDFs or external Word  documents. (Core Services include a total of 10 imported pages from external files.) Typical cost: $5 per additional imported page

Multi-volume thesis

• A multi-volume thesis (an extremely rare occurrence nowadays) requires a more complex numbering system across volumes and more advanced handling of Tables of Contents within each volume .  NOTE: I generally only accept work where the final thesis is to be a single, self-contained document. Typical cost: $200 per additional volume .

Other Terms and Conditions  ▲

Timeframe and deadlines.

• Unless we have agreed otherwise, normal turnaro und is 10 full business days from our agreed commencement date.  (This, of course, assumes your availability to do a timely review at the beginning of Week 2.) 
• You must deliver all your source files and other requested information to me by 9am on our agreed commencement day .  Any time spent working on files that arrive late will be taken out of the free 2-hour allocation for late changes.  Time required beyond this allocation is chargeable at $100/hr for the first two additional hours, then at  $200/hr after that.
• I recommend that you book your work with me 2-3 months in advance . M y acceptance of your work depends on my availability. So book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Urgent jobs and out-of-hours work

For urgent jobs, I may be able to shorten the normal 10 working day turnaround time, if my schedule and other commitments allow it.  There is an additional fee of $300 for each working day that you need me to take off the normal turnaround time.  The minimum turnaround I will commit to is 5 days.

My standard working hours are 9.00am to 5.00pm Mon-Fri.  If your shortened turnaround time requires me to work out-of-hours or on weekends or public holidays, these hours attract a fee of $200/hr in addition to all other applicable charges.

Rescheduling your booking

I realise things can change unexpectedly at your end, so provided I’m available in your proposed new fortnight, we can move your booking.  If you give me at least 2 weeks’ notice of the change, there is no charge.  However, if you give me less than 2 weeks’ notice of a change, a late change fee of $100  will apply.

Right of refusal

There are some extremely rare circumstances where I may decline a request to format a thesis. In particular, I generally don’t undertake work on a thesis if:

• The vertical structure requires more than 9 numbered levels (maximum is 6 for chapters plus 3 for appendices). I decline these requests because Word supports only 9 numbered levels. It’s possible that other programs (e.g. Adobe InDesign) will be more suitable for your requirements, but you’ll need to engage a different service provider if this is needed. I format in Word only.
• You require your final thesis to be managed as a set of multiple files under the control of a Word “Master Document”. I decline these requests because the “Master Document” feature is known to be susceptible to document corruption. I will generally only accept work where the final thesis is to be a single, self-contained document.

There may be other circumstances where workload or other factors make it impossible for me to deliver to your requirements or within your timeframe. Whatever the reason, I’ll always do my best to recommend alternative options or other service providers.
