How we will edit your dissertation or thesis

Our experienced editors are available 24/7/365 to rigorously review and comprehensively improve your writing.

Microsoft Word’s Track Changes We use Word’s Track Changes feature to highlight our amendments. We have alternative options for other formats, including PDF and Overleaf/LaTeX .

Improved style and appropriate register

We’ll improve your style and diction to ensure that your dissertation or thesis has a confident academic tone and an appropriate register.

I’ve changed “needn’t occur” to “is unnecessary” to enhance the formality of the text. In general, contractions (needn’t, can’t, won’t, etc.) should be avoided in academic writing. Dr Smith, PhD

Perfect clarity and structure

We’ll correct or query awkward phrasing and ambiguity to ensure that your writing is clearly expressed and easy to understand.

I would recommend being more specific here; do the physiological properties of FES systems create a challenging control problem or do they have to solve or address a challenging control problem? Dr Smith, PhD

Grammar, punctuation and readability

We fix errors related to grammar, punctuation and readability.

When a theory or model is named after two or more entities, the nouns are conventionally joined using an en dash. The same rule applies whenever the elements of a compound are considered equivalent, so the phrases “parent–child relationship”, “cost–benefit analysis”, etc., use an en dash rather than a hyphen. Dr Smith, PhD

General feedback and advice

We provide feedback and advice on the composition of the writing, both within the document and in the Editor’s Summary Report (for documents over 3,000 words).

To make sure an abbreviation is consistently applied throughout the document, a useful tip is to search for the term using Control F (Command F on a Mac). Dr Smith, PhD

Humanizing AI-written text

We enhance the readability of your text by focusing on the subtle cues that make your writing feel genuinely human.

LLMs are often wordy and overly formal. I’ve toned down both of those elements to help this email sound more natural. Dr Smith, PhD

Don’t lose precious marks for weaknesses in your English and academic style

At most universities, up to 20% of your grade depends on the quality of your writing.

Our editors will ensure that you don’t lose precious marks due to weaknesses in your writing ability. We’ll improve academic tone, register, flow and structure to help ensure that your writing is well received by the grading professor.

dissertation proofreading services

Are you an ESL student or academic?

Writing in a second language is challenging, and doing so to an academic standard is even more difficult. Even educated native speakers sometimes have trouble with the many obscure stylistic conventions that characterise academic writing.

As current and former academics, our editors know exactly what grading professors do—and don’t—want to see in a dissertation or thesis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most popular editing-related questions we receive.

Editing & Proofreading

How do you edit and proofread.

Our editing and proofreading process is 100% manual - in other words, it's handled by a team of highly qualified human editors, not machines . We don't use any automation software or tools, as nothing can beat the quality and accuracy of human editing.

Our editing team consists of a diverse mix of Doctoral and Master's-qualified language specialists . The team is managed by Dr Eunice Rautenbach , who holds both a Master's and Doctoral degree in language practice. All team members have extensive academic editing experience, are native English speakers (from the US, UK and SA) and have worked on numerous dissertations, theses and research projects.

Can I see an example/sample of your editing?

Certainly . You can download a sample editing and proofreading project here .

Will you sort out my references and citations?

Yes . As part of the editing process, we will ensure that your references and citations are in the correct format (e.g., Harvard, APA, etc) as per your university's requirements (you'll need to advise us what these are).

However, keep in mind that we can't fill in incomplete references or find the relevant sources for you (as it's impossible for us to know which sources you've referenced). We also cannot check whether the references you have are accurate or suitable for the arguments you make in your writing.

Can you fix/build my table of contents?

Yes , we can create a table of contents based on the headings and subheadings throughout your dissertation or thesis. This table of contents will include the respective page number for each heading or subheading.

Can you lower my word count?

Yes - as part of the editing process, we will edit your work for concision. However, we cannot guarantee a specific word count or percentage reduction, as this would risk cutting out important content.

Can you check my work for plagiarism?

Yes - we can provide a detailed plagiarism report with every editing and proofreading project. However, please keep in mind that universities use a variety of plagiarism-checking services. Therefore, if your university provides you with a plagiarism-checking facility (as they often do), you should double-check your score on that system.

How long does the editing and proofreading process take?

It depends on the length of the document, the overall quality of the writing (i.e., the number of issues to be resolved) and our project load at the time of submission.

Generally speaking, we can complete a standard dissertation/thesis of 20,000 words within 2-3 days , but this varies depending on the factors above. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you pre-book your editing with us for a specific date. For pre-booked projects, we can provide a guaranteed timeline, which is generally shorter than that of "walk-in" projects. Please email us to pre-book your project.

Can you provide a certificate of editing?

Yes , certainly. We can issue a certificate according to your university's requirements. We can also sign any paperwork required by your university as proof of editing.

Will my document be treated as confidential?

Yes , absolutely. Your work will be treated as strictly confidential and will never be shared or published. We will gladly sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with you if you wish.

How much does editing cost?

Our fee is based on the total word count of the document. This includes the body content and the reference list (as we need to review this). You can also include the appendices if you wish, but it's generally not required.

Click here to view our pricing or book a free consultation to discuss your project.

When should I submit my document to you?

Generally, editing and proofreading should be the very last step in your writing process. This ensures that you don't "undo" any editing work, or introduce new typos or grammar issues.

However, if your supervisor has specifically instructed you to get your work edited before submitting it to them for final review, you should follow their instructions. If you're unsure which approach to take, get in touch with us.

Can you edit my dissertation/thesis as I complete each chapter?

We can, but we don't recommend it . By editing chapter by chapter, consistency is reduced and there is a strong chance that there will be conflicts between document versions in terms of references, page, table and figure numbers, and so on. As a result, a lot of the work will be "undone" and you'll need to spend a lot of time revising and checking each section.

How much time should I factor in post-edit to make corrections?

We recommend that you factor in a day or two to make your final corrections after receiving your document back from us. This is not essential (as you can just accept all our edits "as is"), but it is a good idea to have a buffer in case you want to make any additions or revisions. You might also need to fix issues highlighted by the edit, e.g., regarding clarity of meaning or problems flagged with your referencing.

Can you do a second review of my document after the first edit?

We can review your document as many times as you need , but each review is charged separately. In other words, we cannot provide a second review (after we've edited and proofread) free of charge.

Can you check that my Conclusions and Recommendations represent all my findings?

This is beyond the scope of language editing, as it involves data analysis and interpretation. If you would like assistance with this, we can assist with 1-on-1 coaching , where we review your work critically and provide in-depth feedback (you can view a sample of this here ).

Can you write my abstract (or exec summary) for me?

No , we can't. As part of the editing process, we will improve the quality of your writing, but we cannot write any section for you. Having any section written for you would constitute academic misconduct.

Can you rephrase text to reduce my plagiarism score?

No , we can’t. While we may undertake some very light rewriting of poorly constructed sentences to improve readability and ease of understanding, we cannot revise content to reduce plagiarism, as we are not familiar with the articles/sources being referenced.

Can you arrange the separate sections of my document?

No , we cannot arrange (or rearrange) sections of content on your behalf, as this may impact the core meaning and/or the thread of argument.

That said, if we feel that a section could be structured better for clarity, we will comment on this and make suggestions. Additionally, we will check that your headings and subheadings are numbered sequentially and are consistent in style.

I still have questions…

No problem. Feel free to email us or book an initial consultation to discuss.

What Our Clients Say...

We've worked 1:1 with 5000+ students . Here's what some of them have to say:

David's depth of knowledge in research methodology was truly impressive. He demonstrated a profound understanding of the nuances and complexities of my research area, offering insights that I hadn't even considered. His ability to synthesize information, identify key research gaps, and suggest research topics was truly inspiring. I felt like I had a true expert by my side, guiding me through the complexities of the proposal.

Cyntia Sacani (US)

I had been struggling with the first 3 chapters of my dissertation for over a year. I finally decided to give GradCoach a try and it made a huge difference. Alexandra provided helpful suggestions along with edits that transformed my paper. My advisor was very impressed.

Tracy Shelton (US)

Working with Kerryn has been brilliant. She has guided me through that pesky academic language that makes us all scratch our heads. I can't recommend Grad Coach highly enough; they are very professional, humble, and fun to work with. If like me, you know your subject matter but you're getting lost in the academic language, look no further, give them a go.

Tony Fogarty (UK)

So helpful! Amy assisted me with an outline for my literature review and with organizing the results for my MBA applied research project. Having a road map helped enormously and saved a lot of time. Definitely worth it.

Jennifer Hagedorn (Canada)

Everything about my experience was great, from Dr. Shaeffer’s expertise, to her patience and flexibility. I reached out to GradCoach after receiving a 78 on a midterm paper. Not only did I get a 100 on my final paper in the same class, but I haven’t received a mark less than A+ since. I recommend GradCoach for everyone who needs help with academic research.

Antonia Singleton (Qatar)

I started using Grad Coach for my dissertation and I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for them, I would have really struggled. I would strongly recommend them – worth every penny!

What happy customers say about us

4.6/5 (2,346 reviews).

Very trustworthy and extremely efficient

I had an academic document proofread by the papertrue team. They not only corrected numerous grammar and spelling issues, they also advised on certain expressions according to my target audience. And the best, they did so over night... extremely fast, extremely good, and trustworthy service. Will be coming here again for the next publication.

Even my tutor can not find these errors

Thank you for editing my document on time. The editor pointed my attention to my commonly made mistakes; missing words, incorrect spelling and grammatical inconsistencies throughout the document. I was happy to receive both a tracked and a clean version of the edited document. I will happily recommend PaperTrue to my friends, and I will myself come back on a later occasion.

I have been using their services for 1 years now, and the only word that could describe this Papertrue is excellent. English is my second language, and every time, when I send my paper, I learn a lot from their feedback, comments and suggestions. Also, every my email have been answered very quickly. A very good value for money.

Great proofreading and editing!

PaperTrue has done a great editing/Proofreading on my friend's thesis. The thesis was accepted promptly without any further query or demand for amendment. We really appreciate their work.

Best editing service ever!

PaperTrue is the most helpful proofreader I experienced. They are fast, professional and careful. With their help, my paper got A or A-! so excited! Thanks to PaperTrue, I can have more time on other subjects, which really saved my life! Very much appreciated their professional assistance. Thanks a million!

Wonderful services

The proofreaders and editors at papertrue did a wonderful job of improving my dissertation. Almost all the errors were gone and the sentences were reworded to make its style more academic. I will tell my friends at the university about your high quality proofreading.

Review of Thesis - Effect of Nanopolymers in Paints

I found Paper True on the internet and decided to use them because of their high star rating and tremendous reviews that were relevant to what I needed. My German niece asked me to review her thesis and after struggling with it for over 8 hours and 6 pages later I knew I needed help. Paper True delivered within 2 days, the time frame I gave them. Not only did they deliver a document with all corrections and helpful comments suggested on the side(Tracked) but another one that was already corrected (Clean). The Thesis was 100% better and I was thrilled.

PaperTrue is a life saver

PaperTrue allowed me to expedite my writing process and helped me hand my paper in on time. I took a nap after sending my paper in and wake up to a well edited final draft. It's a lifesaver for college students!

Good option for ESL

Since English isn't my first language, I needed a professional proofreading service, just for my peace of mind. After some research I found PaperTrue, found some good reviews and tried it. It is a great service on a fair price. I would come back for more :)

Candace Osmond studied Advanced Writing & Editing Essentials at MHC. She’s been an International and USA TODAY Bestselling Author for over a decade. And she’s worked as an Editor for several mid-sized publications. Candace has a keen eye for content editing and a high degree of expertise in Fiction.

A dissertation is likely to be the most challenging piece of work a postgraduate student has to complete. It definitely makes me grateful that my uni days are far behind me. A dissertation needs to be organized, coherent, and error-free for the researcher to clearly present their findings.

Perfect your writing with the help of our list of the best dissertation editing services to hire. These awesome companies can increase your chances of getting published in scholarly journals and improve your research career. Cool, right?

What is the Best Dissertation Editing Service?

The best dissertation editing service knows the type of service your dissertation needs. If your paper centers on Social Science, the editors should be knowledgeable about the subject and its concepts. Otherwise, they won’t give meaningful feedback and suggestions for revision.

The best editing service should also have many years of experience. If you’re hiring a freelancer, find out how long they’ve been editing. Ask for a sample edit to check if they are suitable for your writing project. In my opinion, a sample edit is one of the best solutions to find out if you’re a good match.

Their rates also determine their services. The best dissertation editing service can edit your paper at a reasonable price. They should have a fixed pricing model based on your deadline and word count.

What Does a Dissertation Editor Do?

A dissertation editor is an editor that works with seasoned writers to improve their dissertations. They should be experts in research projects, format, university standards, and the specific topic.

Dissertation editors read, critique, and edit dissertations as other editors do with various documents. But dissertation editors need to pay extra attention to the subject matter, its concepts, and how they relate to the research findings.

These experts have a huge role in the numerous revisions and iterations these papers go through. The paper’s strength will dictate whether the student will be given the title Ph.D.

How Can I Edit My Dissertation?

I mean, yes, you can, but I wouldn’t recommend it. The best way to edit your dissertation is to hire an editor. An experienced editor will instantly spot the strengths and weaknesses of your work. They will correct all your mistakes at every level, from typos to structural flaws.

As a writer, your job is to edit while writing the paper. Start your dissertation with an awareness that you will have to revise, cite sources, and proofread. Doing so will help you take notes on which parts of the paper require careful writing.

While writing, try to figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Do you need help forming grammatically correct sentences? Perhaps you need a refresher on the subject matter you’re writing about. Gather resources that will help you overcome these issues.

Finally, learn the writing standards of your university when it comes to dissertations. Should you use APA, MLA, or Chicago Style for citations? Check if there’s a template provided for your paper before submission.

How Do I Find a Thesis Editor?

Several thesis or dissertation editors market themselves on the internet. You’ll find freelancers on platforms like Upwork or Freelancer. But it’s much better to hire editors from reputable companies like TrueEditors, ProofreadingPal, and Scribendi.

Make sure the dissertation editor can address all your writing needs. If you need help with your syntax, word choice, and format, a copy editor might help. However, if you need help with the overall content flow, a specialized editor will help you.

How Much Does Thesis Editing Cost?

The price for dissertation editing varies based on the company you’re working with. These services usually have pricing calculators that customize their rates according to the turnaround time and word count.

Editor World estimates the average cost for dissertation editing services is $0.02 per word. Since dissertations usually have 10,000 to 50,000 words, the price can reach up to $1000.

How Much Does It Cost to Proofread a Dissertation?

According to Editor World, the average cost for general dissertation proofreading is $0.017 per word. That means a 50,000-word dissertation of a doctoral student may cost up to $850.

Proofreading involves correcting mechanical errors like misspellings , grammar mistakes, and formatting issues. The process is usually the same for all documents, whether dissertation, creative writing, or business.

If you want to save money, try hiring an all-in-one editor and proofreader for your dissertation. You may also look for experienced freelancers with more affordable rates . Just make sure to ask for editing samples before hiring them, trust me.

Top 10 Online Dissertation Editing Services

After researching and reading up on testimonials, I definitely think this list has your best options. So, take a moment, read through, and see which one will work for your dissertation editing needs.

But if you only need basic grammar and sentence structure checks, TrueEditors can also help you. Other services they offer include referencing, writing style guides, and layout. I definitely think this is a great all-in-one service provider.

Their pricing starts at #39 for a 1000-word paper delivered in 24 hours.

WriteSmartly

Regardless of your academic background, WriteSmartly has the best human editors that provide thesis editing services. The editing team can edit and proofread your academic writing pieces at a reasonable price.

The cost of a 1000-word text for editing and proofreading services with a turnaround time of 2 hours is $37.

Scribendi 4

Scribendi is one of the most popular companies that offer expert editing for your academic article. While they are not known for literary editing, the company has a vast experience in business, educational, and legal documents.

Scribendi’s technical accuracy is incomparable. Even writers whose second language is English will sound as fluent as native English speakers in their professional writing.

Proofreading dissertations usually come after the English editing process. Scribendi’s thesis editor will check your document for inconsistencies, flow issues, and structural problems. Then, they will look for bad grammar or formatting.

A 1,000-word document with a delivery time of 24 hours costs $40 at Scribendi. That’s a great value, if you ask me.

Wordy 3

Wordy has several expert editors who offer a wide range of editing services. Their proficient editors can perform UK-based editing and promise to create great content.

They can help you with your dissertation, essay, business presentation, and email.

The company does elite editing because of its extensive knowledge of standard grammar rules. In fact, the professional editing service features 56 subject fields in which they are experts. They can process 11 major file formats and cut 30% off your writing time.

Wordy has reasonable prices based on a time-sensitive pricing model. A 1,000-word academic document with a 24-hour delivery costs $40. Again, another great value.

Editage 2 1

I just cannot doubt the positive reviews on Editage . This reliable editing service can edit your academic documents regardless of your academic discipline. You can count on this UK-based company if you’re a Ph.D. student looking for standard dissertation editing.

The team’s experienced editors can help you with professional school essays, books, and letters. They will pair you with the most suitable dissertation editor with expertise in your field. Perhaps they also have the necessary software for editing your writing mistakes.

Editage will not make unnecessary edits to your work, such as removing your original voice or changing all passive voice sentences into active ones.

A 1000-word academic document only costs $30.

Enago 1

Enago has Ph.D./Master’s qualified native English-speaking editors who won’t let a single error slide on your dissertation. The company offers various options for editing, such as basic English editing, publication support packs, and translation.

The online dissertation editing service ensures technical accuracy and an in-depth subject review. They can perform an array of editing for scientific research, social science, and even business editing at a high delivery speed.

Enago can also assist you with non-fiction writing and personal documents. However, they thrive more in academic articles. Plus, their prices are pretty high.

The average price for a 5,000-word paper with a 21-day deadline is $840.

Kibin 1

Kibin is known for its essay writing and creative writing editing services. But they can also do editing services for dissertations. The company offers several choices for editing, including student editing, admissions editing, and business editing.

Kibin is one of the editing platforms you can trust when proofreading documents. They will lighten your load by automatically correcting errors and providing expert feedback on your work.

Their rates start at $40 for a 24-hour delivery time of a 1000-word essay.

ProofreadingPal

Proofreading Pal

Despite the plethora of companies offering Ph.D. editing services, ProofreadingPal remains competitive in the market. This company is unique because it offers a two-person editing service to provide two fresh pairs of eyes on your document.

They can perform editing for authors of books, non-fiction, and research articles. They can also help students with basic assignments and admission essays.

ProofreadingPal has a transparent pricing policy. A document submitted in 24 hours may cost between $30 and $100, depending on the word count.

Wordvice 2

Whether you need scholarship editing services or online dissertation services, Wordvice is the best company. Their editors can do proficient editing by improving your tone, style, and flow. They also provide comments and feedback for revision.

All you have to do is submit your dissertation for editing and make your payment based on their fixed prices. A 1000-word scholarly paper costs $80 for a 24-hour delivery time.

Wordvice does not offer content writing services. Don’t expect them to write a whole essay or thesis proposal for you.

EliteEditing

EliteEditing

Last on the list is Elite Editing. This company can give you quick editing and proofreading services without compromising quality. They are an Australian company that caters to all types of scholarly content, from admission essays to dissertations.

Elite Editing’s editors have extensive work experience at major magazine companies and universities. Some have worked in Fortune 500 but still offer affordable services.

Our thesis and dissertation proofreading focuses on catching the errors in spelling, basic grammar, and punctuation that a word processor's grammar and spelling check routinely ignore. Once we've edited for grammar, style, and voice, we complete your dissertation editing with a final proofreading pass to ensure that the minutest of details are covered. By "minutest of details," we mean every comma use, extra space, unneeded carriage return, typo, homophone substitution, and stray period (the list could go on).  View Rates  |  Place an Order

Complete Prep Editing

Your final draft is here.

After we've completed editing and proofreading your dissertation, we'll send a copy of your edited dissertation draft back to you with track changes turned on for your review (and to show our work). We don't leave comments for you to address or any marginal notes that you'll need to sort through. When we find an error, we correct it so that you don't have to. It's that straightforward.

What You'll Need to Get Started

To place an   order with us , you'll need a Word version of the essay, thesis, or dissertation draft that you'd like us to edit, the total word count of the document, any instructions or guidelines that you'd like us to follow (such as formatting guidelines or comments from a professor or advisor), and a payment method. Feel free to contact us any time with questions today or after we start your draft. We look forward to adding your review of our editing services below.

dissertation proofreading services

We feel your pain and we’ll help you get your dissertation approved.

You’ve been dragged through the wringer by your professors. Made to jump through hoops of fire by your Chair. Told your years of hard work still has problems and needs major revisions and you have to pay another term’s tuition fees with hardly an end in sight. You’re getting really upset, knowing that you’ve done your very best and written some very good material yet your committee is still on your case and wanting more changes and more work from you. Now you’re so frustrated with the whole process you feel like pulling your hair out, going ballistic, and screaming at the world. We know how you feel. Been there, done that, suffered like you have.

Put our dissertation editing skills to work for you by hiring us now , ensuring that your dissertation satisfies your committee and earns you the PhD you’ve worked so hard to attain.

After editing your dissertation, our Transformational Editing will get you published!

Once your thesis, dissertation, or capstone project is approved, you can hire one of our experienced transformational editors to turn your work into a publishable book, ready to submit to an academic press.

Get ready for the real work: getting published and getting a job…

After attaining your PhD, the real work begins: getting published to secure a job. Having served on many hiring committees, I can tell you in all certainty that candidates who aren’t well-published have little chance of getting hired . That’s why we’ll help you do both—get published and get a job—through our editing, our association with numerous university presses and scholarly journals, our many invaluable links, and our priceless counsel, advice and encouragement.

Beverly Hutton, Ed.D. https://edit911.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/testimonial_julianne.jpg I am so pleased with the entire experience and process working with Edit 911. Thanks to you, my dissertation is now a book that will serve as an excellent and relevant resource to education professionals. You were able to take my dream and turn it into a reality. The staff was professional but friendly, confident but calming. They guaranteed my satisfaction without hesitation and I was sold. The turnaround time was great and the collaborative processes with the editor were wonderful. She’s phenomenal! I couldn’t have done it without her help, recommendations and expertise.

‘Publish or perish’ is no cliché

We can’t over-emphasize the crucial importance of your becoming a published scholar . No matter what your discipline or doctoral degree, you will publish or perish , as the old saying goes. It’s absolutely true:

  • One study determined that those PhDs who are unpublished suffer the fate of earning, on average, 25-40% less income throughout their entire professional career.
  • The same study found that those PhDs who convert their dissertations into published books find secure positions 1-3 months more quickly and at a 10-25% higher salary than those PhDs who don’t.
  • One more statistic is equally compelling: those PhDs with five or more publications to their credit are 5 times more likely to “achieve their financial and personal goals” than those PhDs who publish little or nothing.

Customers rate our proofreading service excellent!

Great time saver.

So good to plug my references in here and have them all formatted and put into alphabetical order. This tool saves me a big chunk of time!

I love it. I had been out of college for 6 years and kind of forgot how to cite. This site does it for me and I never get told it is incorrect. Scribbr makes citing a breeze. And I am not a bot!

It is so helpful

It is so helpful. I'm so thankful my friend recommended this site to me.

THis has helped to generate citations…

THis has helped to generate citations without the fear of not doing it right. I don't have to worry about how to put them in APA format because it's already done for me.

Scribbr has helped me tremendously

Scribbr has helped me tremendously. I struggle with citations and they make it so easy to use. Will continue using their service as long as I'm in school.

I was impressed!

I was impressed! The service provided was professional and on time. Every detail about citation formatting explained, and all my errors fixed. Grateful for this excellent service. Highly recommend!

Efficient and professional

Scribbr Is Accurate & Helps You Learn the Proper Way to Cite References

I used Scribbr throughout undergrad and I swear by it; this site helped me to learn the correct way to cite my references and feel confident about it. I highly recommend it!

My experience is always great

My experience is always great; this site saves me time and problems when preparing citations for my school papers. I recommend it because it never fails to meet my expectations.

I always work with Scribbr

I always work with Scribbr. The service is excellent. I strongly recommend them.

Really impressed!

Not only did the reviewer check the grammar but she also searched for information regarding data-sources in order to correct the source information. Furthermore, she gave me tips and tricks, proposed different ways to build up sentences and the like, to help to make the whole story better. I'm really impressed!

Doug did a great job editing

Doug did a great job editing, including my references. Very professional.

sometimes the APA citations are not…

sometimes the APA citations are not correct

4 stars = I like it, but don't love it

Scribbr's citation generator is an awesome, free tool. I love that it's free. It is modestly accurate on picking up the correct source details, but I usually need to edit at least one citation detail after entering the source's link (translation: the details that the citation generator picks up is not 100% accurate). I always proof-read and revise the citation details, as needed, before using one of Scribbr's auto-generated citations. Regardless, once details are correct, Scribbr's tool is an excellent way to form correct citations and references. I will always recommend and use Scribbr (I've used it for at least three years now).

This has saved my academic rear-end in…

This has saved my academic rear-end in so many ways, but more importantly the time saved when writing papers for school is invaluable.

perfect for citing papers

open access and easy

You'd be silly not to

I have been using scribbr for the last year and I recommend this website to everyone I know. As a university student this has changed the game. The integration with AI and the shortcuts to adding sources to the reference list is so helpful and efficient. Very rarely do I have to edit the reference it has generated (I still double check it is). So easy to learn AND ITS FREE

It is a great help and I like this one

It is a great help and I like this one. Though it does not do everything I need, I still like its simplicity.

Thank you for a complete job and good…
