Using a Dissertation Help Service

Many graduate students aren’t aware that paid dissertation help services are available, and those who do know about them often have little clue how they operate. Using a dissertation help service can be safe and easy if you follow these simple steps:

• Step One: Decide which type of service you want.

There are two basic types of dissertation help services available: there are writing services, and there are editing services. Both are exactly what they sound like. A writing service merely needs to know your topic and it will produce a researched dissertation for you. An editing service will polish and perfect a thesis that you yourself have written.

• Step Two: Do your research.

Don’t be so eager to punch in your credit card details to the first dissertation help service you come across; scams do exist. Running a fraudulent writing help service is profitable and easy to pull off, and as a result, dishonest sites pop up with alarming regularity. Before you put your trust in a dissertation help service, find some customer reviews. Post questions on relevant message boards if you can’t find any; someone is bound to have used the service. Falling prey to a scam will cost you not only money but precious time as you wait for a dissertation that will never arrive, so choose your service carefully.

• Step Three: Set a budget.

Dissertation help services charge by the page, and as you’re no doubt aware, a full-length dissertation has an awful lot of pages. Several factors influence the cost of a dissertation help service – generally speaking, writing services are significantly more expensive than editing services, shorter deadlines mean steeper rates, and writing quality can often be a case of getting what you pay for. Get cost quotes from a few different services, and decide how much money you’re willing to spend. If money is tight, your best bet is to write your own thesis and pay for editing, making sure to submit the paper long before its deadline.

• Step Four: Monitor progress.

If you’ve chosen a writing service, don’t sit back and wait for the finished product to show up in your inbox. Actively engage with the writer who is producing your thesis. Ask to see portions of the dissertation as they’re completed, and don’t be afraid to request changes as you see fit. Suggest sources for the writer to include, and be sure to impart your goals and analysis. This is still your paper, after all. Those of you who choose editing services aren’t off the hook either. The editor will do his or her job, and return your corrected paper back to you with suggestions for improvements. Take advantage of the editor’s expertise, and make the necessary adjustments to your paper as advised. You paid for that critique of your paper; use it.
