BachelorPrint correction services: Advantages at a glance

Separating the wheat from the chaff – but how?

Put the terms editing and proofreading into a search engine and the result is often sobering: a number of editing and proofreading services are offered, but you can’t really tell which are really professional. This is mainly down to the fact that the the job of editing or proofreading is not protected, so anyone can offer an editing service. The question to answer though is which is really good?

This is easier said than done, because how can you decide on the correct editing or proofreading if you can’t assess the quality of the work carried out or the result of editing for your own Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis? By choosing the wrong editing or proofreading, you’re not only throwing your money away, but also risking a bad mark for your academic work.

How do you spot the rotten apples in editing and proofreading?

• Website: What is your first impression of the editor’s website? Do you spot any spelling or grammar mistakes at the first glance? Step back! You don’t want anyone to correct your work who can’t even make sure their own texts are free from error.
• Customer reviews: Faked customer reviews are nothing new, so be a little sceptical of customer experiences given on the website. Reputable providers often have many reviews and show their customers with a name and image.
• Communication: How easy is it to reach the editor and how quickly do they reply to emails, for example? Good availability indicates quality service. But also pay attention to how exactly you are advised: Are they competent? To what extent are the specific requirements of your work addressed? Professional editing should always offer the best customer service!
• Price offer: Professional editors should always have completed a university degree because only then can you expect a quality result from editing. This qualification is worth the price because excellent editing doesn’t come for free. Therefore, it’s better to pay out a bit more money instead of choosing a bad editing service, which in the end was in vain.
• Correction time: Professional editing can’t be done in a few hours! You should therefore make sure that the specific correction time is realistic: Proofreading a Master’s thesis, for example, takes at least 2 days. For lengthy editing, 4-5 days should be considered for the same piece of work.
• Compliance with deadlines: Your submission deadline is fixed and you must adhere to it. The same rule applies to the editors of your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis. You should be 100% confident that the editing of your work will be completed by the specified date. Just ask if there’s a plan b, for example if your editor is taken ill. In this case, a good editor can always provide another editor with the same level of expertise.

With these tips, you have easily choose the right editor. But if you want to be on the safe side: BachelorPrint’s editing fulfils all these criteria and ensures that your academic work will be a real success.
