Canadian Thesis Proofreading & Editing
Canadian Thesis Proofreading
Canadian universities use a mixture of British and American spellings and styles. Why trust your hard work to some American editing mill? You are an important and unique client to iProof.
Personal Attention
iProof.ca is not a big business. I love words and I love learning, so I offer this service to assist others to achieve academic goals. I give every thesis my personal attention. Occasionally, I have someone help me, but I consider that every document I work on reflects on my personal reputation. I have helped numerous students complete academic documents from general essays to doctoral dissertations. Request an estimate.
How long does thesis editing take?
My standard time is 6000 words per 24 hours. That's not to say I can't sometimes work faster, but a faster turnaround time depends on what other obligations I have, as well as seeing a sample of your writing. Use the estimate request form, and I will give you:
- An approval code to place your order, which may include a discount depending on the complexity of the work (typically 10%);
- A 1000 word sample edit returned within 24 hours.
To order immediately without pre-approval, you will pay 10% over the standard rate. Also, there is a chance I will return your thesis and fee, if your thesis is not ready for final editing, or I am too busy right now. Otherwise, your completed thesis will be returned in just a few days. The guaranteed return time is calculated right on your order form before you pay. Order Thesis Editing Now
Thesis Editing Details
- More than just fixing grammar. I make sure every sentence is clear, concise and logical. I ensure your ideas are expressed in the best way possible, sticking as closely as possible to your original words, but ensuring your writing is in the best academic format. Proofreading means just fixing errors, but my thesis editing service means making sure your thesis reflects your hard work.
- Copy editing for flow, logic, sentence structure, and paragraph structure. Even people working on advanced degrees may require some help with their writing. I will re-arrange and revise your sentences and paragraphs to make your thesis or dissertation read as smoothly as possible. I consider the mechanics of good paragraph style: topic sentence, citations and discussion. I look at paragraph transitions and logic flow in your essay. I do not provide substantive editing (i.e., rearranging major sections to re-structure your arguments).
- Fixing ESL errors. I have worked with writers from a large number of first languages: Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Thai, and Arabic are just some of my clients' first languages. Each one has unique challenges for learners of English, such as issues of capitalization, punctuation, agreement and word order. I will render your draft into native-like English.
- References checked for style. Whether you are using APA style, MLA, IEEE, Harvard, ASA, or a style particular to one university, I will ensure your citations are formatted correctly, even if I need to access your library to get the format. For the major styles, I have resources and know where to find resources on-line to make sure your essay references are formatted correctly. You can also supply me with a link, document or reference that indicates the requirements for your essay and I will make sure the final product meets your requirements.
Reference Page
If you include the reference page in the word count of the thesis, then I will ensure that all the reference entries are formatted correctly as part of the quoted price. If you are confident that the references are correct, you can leave the references off the word count, and I won't touch the reference page. For the first group, I assume you know enough about your academic style that most entries are mostly correct. I'll request that you pay a surcharge if your reference list looks like you haven't even tried. If you only want me to fix your reference list, then I will charge an hourly rate of $50 per hour.
LaTexT Editing
I can edit documents created in LaTexT. You will need to estimate the word count exclusive of all formulas. Obviously, I can't edit or proofread any formulas or code. I will fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as above. I use OverLeaf, so if you have a paid account, you can share your document with me and see the Track Changes. Otherwise, I cannot provide Track Changes for LaTexT documents.
Thesis Editing Price
My thesis editing price is similar to my advanced editing price, except you get a discount for the large order. The first 5000 words are priced at 2.75 cents per word ($137.50) and additional words are priced at 2 cents per word. The minimum price for a thesis is $150. I have completed thesis projects as short as 6000 words and as long as 75,000 words. No project is too big or too small. Thesis editing includes all copyediting related to style, logic, syntax and wording. I can ensure your references are correctly formatted and your words make sense. Unlike many other services, I do not charge extra if you use English as a second language. Request a 1000 word sample edit when you order my thesis proofreading service so you can check out our work before you pay.

Basic Proofreading Price
If you are a confident writer who has a good grasp of grammar, you may not need copyediting for your thesis or dissertation. Why pay more? My basic proofreading service is applicable to all types of documents, including advanced academic writing. If all you want is to have an expert grammarian review your document and fix occasional typographical and grammar errors (or even the wrong word here or there), but your writing is clear and understandable and you don't make big syntax errors or need transitions and references reviewed, then order our basic proofreading service at 2 cents per word.

Academic Journal Editing
I offer an editing service for submissions to academic journals. The price for Academic Journal Editing is the same as thesis editing, but the form asks for different information so I can properly format and edit your academic journal article based on the style of the journal you are submitting to.

Certificate of Editing
Some schools require you to provide a certificate of editing when you have your thesis edited. When you order my thesis editing service, simply check the box at the time of order and I will include a certificate when I return the completed document. The certificate will confirm that the only thing I did was work on your grammar and wording and that the content is still 100% your original work. Order Thesis Editing
Editing and Plagiarism
I follow the Canadian Editors' Association ethical guidelines for thesis and dissertation editing. It’s not plagiarism to have someone help you with your writing; plagiarism is when you use someone else’s work without attribution. Plagiarism is also when you pass someone else's work off as your own, such as when you buy an essay or hire someone to write an essay for you. On the other hand, sometimes editing can help you avoid unwarranted accusations of plagiarism because an editor can fix your references to avoid flagging for plagiarism by a computer review system. An editor can point out where ideas should be referenced. I've provided editing services for PhD candidates and graduates, university professors and college teachers. Almost all professional work is edited before publication. The job of the editor is not to add ideas or content; the job of the editor is to ensure that your ideas are expressed in the best way possible. I use the “Track Changes” function in M.S. Word to document all edits. That way you can review the changes and see how to improve your writing.
