Thesis and Journal Writing: 
7 Steps
A Thesis is a large essay detailing the research undertaken as part of a PhD or Master’s degree. Theses are vast pieces of work which sometimes surpass 80,000 words. An academic journal, however, is a much smaller piece of work, usually totaling around 5000-6000 words. Journals are peer-reviewed periodicals, much like articles, which tend to either present a new concept for review or comment upon existing theories. 
Both thesis and journal writing present similar challenges. In the planning stages, deciding how to organise your ideas can be time consuming. The content of the piece, including formatting, spelling, grammar and style, are all also crucial elements.
1. Determine the Title 
Extensive research is necessary before you can decide upon a final title. Read widely and write a first draft of a bibliography to help you to decide upon the content of your essay.
2. Define your Methodology 
When considering the question you hope to answer with your essay, select the most appropriate research method for the task in hand and explain your reasoning.
3. Set Deadlines 
So that you don’t spend endless days or even weeks on the same task, set yourself deadlines. Rather than focusing on the final hand in date, instead work to smaller time limits. You might, for example, give yourself two days to finish reading a certain book, or a week to finesse your introductory paragraphs. Reward yourself for meeting targets.
4. Collect only Relevant Data 
Be very careful to spend your time wisely by only collecting data which is relevant to the question in hand. When it comes to analysis, quantity is sometimes important but quality is key.
5. Format your Data Clearly 
No matter how much research you have undertaken, if it is laid out in a way which is confusing on the page, the reader will not be able to decipher it. Formatting is crucial to a good understanding of the data you have collected, so think carefully about how to lay out tables and graphs.
6. Read other Theses and Journals 
Much like reading novels enhances your ability to write well, reading other theses or journals can only help you to do better in your own work. Take note of style techniques or formatting which you think works well and try to implement some of these elements in your own essay.
7. Make Use of Proofreading Services 
Once you have finished writing, make use of a professional thesis or journal proofreading service to ensure that your essay is perfectly finessed.
These seven steps will help you to write an impressive thesis or journal which will enhance not only your own academic CV, but also hopefully contribute to a wider academic debate in your field. Consider using a professional proofreading service to ensure a flawless piece of writing.
