Thesis & Dissertation Formatting Services

Combining general guidelines from up-to-date manuals of style (APA, MLA, and Turabian) with the university guidelines our clients send us, our thesis and dissertation formatting service works with dissertation and thesis writers to ensure that the precise formatting standards required by dissertation committees are met. We offer two thesis and dissertation formatting services that isolate and resolve key formatting issues.

Citation Style Formatting (view rates). Our citation style formatting correctly formats parenthetical, footnote, or endnote citations and external reference lists. We also isolate missing information, such as date and place of publication and page number citations.

Layout Formatting (view rates). Our layout formatting service ensures that your dissertation or thesis complies with university guideline requirements, and covers the following elements of formatting:

Preliminary Pages: University standards for preliminary pages are often overlooked by thesis and dissertation writers, and can therefore become the cause of multiple rejections and ongoing frustration. We resolve formatting issues in these key pages before they arise, properly paginating tables of contents and lists and correcting spacing and layout issues that can plague students and committees alike.
Pagination: The placement of page numbers can vary from university to university, and preparing the pagination for long documents can be a frustrating and time-consuming task. Our editors are word processing wizards who can quickly, correctly, and painlessly format pagination to the standards our clients' universities require.
Figures & Tables: Figures and tables present thesis and dissertation data in comprehensive form, but even with sound data and presentation, committees can find fault with easy-to-overlook elements of figure and table presentation. Our formatting service checks and correctly arranges table tags and the relationship of tables and figures to text.*
Headings & Subheadings: The placement and formatting of chapter and section headings in theses and dissertations need to comply with university standards and be consistent throughout. As we move through your document, we'll check and repair heading and subheading formatting.

To place an inquiry for dissertation or thesis formatting, please contact us through our online inquiry page. We'll get back to you as quickly as possible with a no-obligation estimate, answers to your questions, and more information about ordering. We look forward to hearing from you!

*While the figures and tables element of our service specifically focuses on table and figure tags and their relationship to the text and to the tables and figures themselves, it does not include the arrangement of table data or resizing tables for the page. We do offer the latter services at the hourly rate of $40. Clients interested in these services may wish to discuss their needs with us and make additional arrangements.
