How to Proofread Your Dissertation

11/23/2015

 
Before submitting your dissertation you should check your paper for misspellings, grammatical errors and unintentional mistakes. Silly and trivial errors make it an incoherent reading and bring down your dissertation grades. Getting a fresh pair of eyes of an expert or a scholar to proofread is the best way to make your dissertation error free. But, sometimes you don't find an expert who will invest time in proofreading your work. Proofreading your own work is a difficult practice, but by following the below mentioned tips, you can significantly reduce the errors from your dissertation.
Use digital text editors
We live in the digital world, where information technology has provided various tools with artificial intelligence to solve our problems. There are many digital text editors available which are equipped with grammar correction and spell check tools. You can use them to highlight the errors and get suggestions. But, tools are tools, they are not perfect. So when you use these tools you need to apply your own understanding of the language and subject before accepting the suggestions offered. Alternatively, you can use the spell check and grammar correction option available in the Pages for iOS and in word for windows operating system. But they have limited options as compared to the other softwares.
Read the document with a fresh mind
You tend to oversee the mistakes and your mind fills in the gaps as you are aware of the concepts and ideas. After you have completed the dissertation, take a break and read it with a fresh mind. You will be able to spot many mistakes that you missed while you were writing.
Read it aloud.
You can spot the mistake when you hear rather than when you read a text. Once you have completed the dissertation, read your dissertation aloud, you will be able to tell where you have missed the punctuations and misspelled.

Focus on the Key Points for writing Dissertation

11/5/2015

 
The key to writing an effective dissertation is to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the chosen topics, make a list of your research notes and start writing. You may come across major portions that might require further research, so be ready to revisit the library. The focal point is to maintain a lucid style of writing that can effectively communicate your ideas. Remember, a well-researched and elaborately planned dissertation can be marred by unclear phrasing and poorly expressed ideas.

Focus on the key points for writing a potential thesis.

Find your own Style

Seek an impactful style of writing by researching a number of scholarly articles and pick up the one which is easy to read and understand. Follow the structure, study through the arguments and garner examples of punctuation and vocabulary. Use subheadings in between and tweak the content for readers’ better understanding. Most importantly, avoid repetition and be straightforward in expressing your views.

Structure sentences properly

Distinguish the more important key points than the lesser ones. Highlight the key points by adding sentences that are not too long and difficult to understand. Keep the sentences short, simple, and yet they are potent to present the meaning that your want to convey in to the readers.

Acknowledge Ideas

Yes, a dissertation should contain your original thought, but do refer ideas of others to make your statement more emphatic and reliable. You can use work of others to leverage your arguments, but add a footnote to indicate the original source of the idea as well.

Write Introduction later

Once you reach the conclusion part of your thesis you have an idea of the arguments and the points you made in your research. This will help you write the ‘Introduction’ once you reach the last stage of work.

The Perfect Bibliography

Mention the articles, books, interviews, newspapers, train timetables, cave paintings, statistics that were used as primary sources. In addition to it, do quote secondary sources as well.
​
Thus, make it an error-free and perfect study proposal by following the above points.
