  • Informal or imprecise language
  • Inflated and redundant phrases
  • Inconsistencies in tense and voice

Personalised language tips

To help you become a better academic writer, your thesis editor will provide an overview of your most common mistakes in grammar, punctuation and style. With our in-depth guides, you’ll learn how to recognise and correct your own errors.

A fresh pair of eyes can spot issues with your logic or clarity. Through in-text comments and two checklists, the editor’s feedback will focus on:

Ich bin mit dem Service sehr zufrieden!

Ich bin mit dem Service sehr zufrieden! Warum ich nur 4 Sterne gebe ist das viele Zusatzleistungen extra verrechnet werden und das preislich dann doch nicht wenig ist. Vielen Dank für die tolle Korrektur Cordula!!!

Werkt super

Werkt super, een enkele keer werken de lettertypes niet helemaal 100%, maar dat is makkelijk aangepast en verder gaat het altijd fantastisch.

Makelijk in gebruik

Ik werk al 3 jaar met deze bronnengenerator van Scribbr. Het is makkelijk in gebruik en de bronnengenerator vindt vaak zelf de bron. Helaas zijn niet alle updates een verbetering geweest. Nu wordt de uitgever niet standaard meer ingevuld. Een erg groot probleem is dat niet, want die is makkelijk op te zoeken. Maar hierdoor dus wel 4 sterren en geen 5 sterren.

Ideaal voor de opleiding!

Ik vind de bronnengenerator van Scribbr ideaal om als richtlijn te gebruiken voor mijn verslagen voor de opleiding. Hiermee verspil ik geen tijd met het gebruiken van APA wat soms erg lastig kan zijn, waardoor ik meer tijd heb om een mooi en goed verslag te maken.

De bronnengenerator is mijn houvast tijdens het maken van de literatuurlijst en APA vermeldingen in de tekst. Doormiddel van DIO, hyperlinks of onderwerp kan ik eenvoudig de juiste literatuurverwijzing vinden en vermelden.

Fast and furiously helpful.

Fast and furiously helpful. I got a paper formatted with clear explanations even two days before I expected it. It saved me some hours of work—that was absolutely worth the money. Thank you, Scribbr.

Great Citation Generator

Great Citation Generator Very helpful for college papers, school assignments, and projects! It would be 5 stars if it could better pick up omitted information such as authors and publishers on extension shortcuts so do not solely rely on the generator for complete citations.

Frequently asked questions

See all
Can I get a sample edit?

Yes, if your document is longer than 20,000 words, you will get a sample of approximately 2,000 words. This sample edit gives you a first impression of the editor’s editing style and a chance to ask questions and give feedback.

How does the sample edit work?

You will receive the sample edit within 24 hours after placing your order. You then have 24 hours to let us know if you’re happy with the sample or if there’s something you would like the editor to do differently.

What is Scribbr’s 100% happiness guarantee?

At Scribbr, we promise to make every customer 100% happy with the service we offer. Our philosophy: Your complaint is always justified – no denial, no doubts.

Our customer support team is here to find the solution that helps you the most, whether that’s a free new edit or a refund for the service.

Can I choose between American, British and Australian English?

Yes, in the order process you can indicate your preference for American, British, or Australian English.

If you don’t choose one, your editor will follow the style of English you currently use. If your editor has any questions about this, we will contact you.

Can I upload my document in sections?

Yes, you can upload your document in sections.

We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.

However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if

  1. You send us your text as soon as possible and
  2. You can be flexible about the deadline.

Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance that your previous editor is not available.

If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the Scribbr Improvement Model and will deliver high-quality work.

Can I have my document edited during weekends and holidays?

Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.

Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.

If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!

Is the editor an expert in my field of study?

When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.

However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.

This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.

Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!
