Frequently Asked Questions

No. PhDeX Thesis Examination Services is unlike all other student or other paper writing services. We offer expert unbiased editing of a piece of scientific work (be it a thesis or a technical paper) in terms of its suitability for acceptance for some higher degree award, or for International Journal submission and subsequent formatting for publication. We also offer services which will allow high-level scientific editing of technical papers in the life sciences so as they will conform to international, peer-review scrutiny for journal publication. This service is quite distinct from those services that offer to write essays, theses and the like on behalf of the student and which rely on just “cut and paste” of information from diverse sources.

Our core business is to provide high-level technical editing. As such we do not need to “invent” text in any way. Therefore the sourcing of additional material over and above that provided by our client, is not necessary. Unlike other businesses that “create” works on behalf of their clients, “cutting and pasting” and therefore the opportunity to plagiarize, is not an issue or a practice we are involved in.

We believe we are providing a unique and much needed service. We are keen to build this business with ongoing repeat business and referrals.

Furthermore, we will offer on-going advice as well as services so as to bring a technical/scientific report up to international standard in terms of being correctly written and formatted for publication assessment by the editorial boards of international, peer-reviewed journals.

In terms of scientific editing: Career prospects, tenure, grant support and international recognition come from scholarly publication of one's research work. Therefore, professional input, advice and editing are essential in our competitive scientific world. Technical writing and formatting of research reports into a form suitable for submission to high-profile (ie high citation index), peer-reviewed, international scientific journals, is a skill that can only be built up over time, mainly through a “trial and error” approach. Continued rejection on the grounds of improper use of English, poor editing, bad syntax or data layout, or any one of the many other things required before notification of acceptance for journal publication is given, can severely hold back the career or promotional aspirations of a researcher or research group. This is particularly the case, where publication is required for continued tenure, or the awarding of new or continuing research grant funds. PhDeX Services therefore offers high level editing of research papers which will overcome the problems associated with assembling a research paper in a correct style for journal submission. PhDeX will advise and assist with this task on a fee-for-service basis.

PhDeX services can also assist in the presentation of scientific material for seminars, posters and oral contributions to scientific conferences.
