BachelorPrint correction services: Advantages at a glance

Separating the wheat from the chaff – but how?

Enter the terms editing and proofreading into a search engine and the result is often overwhelming: so many editing and proofreading services are offered, but how do you know which ones are really professional? This is mainly due to the fact that the job of editing or proofreading is not protected, so anyone can offer an editing service. The question, however, is how do you know which one is really good?

This is easier said than done, because how can you decide on which editing or proofreading service to choose if you can’t assess the quality of the work carried out or the result of editing until your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis has actually been edited? 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? Does a quick look reveal any spelling or grammar mistakes? Step back! You don’t want someone editing your work if they can´t even correct their own work.
• Customer reviews: Faked customer reviews are nothing new, so be a little sceptical of customer testimonials you see on the website. Reputable providers often have many reviews and display 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 the type of recommendations they make: 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 cheap. It’s better to pay a bit more than ending up with a poorly edited document.
• Correction time: Professional editing can’t be done in a few hours! You should therefore make sure that the specified correction time is realistic: Proofreading a Master’s thesis, for example, takes at least 2 days. For detailed 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, if, for example your editor becomes ill. In this case, a good editor can always provide another editor with the same level of expertise.

If you follow these tips, you can guarantee that you have chosen 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.
