      Editing is not restricted to spelling and grammar checks – it involves the checking of sentence structures, the flow of ideas, redundant ideas, and the format of the dissertation. Therefore, it is advisable to set aside at least two weeks for editing. For thorough editing, you would have to go through your dissertation twice or even thrice and examine each and every sentence to ensure that it is error-free. In addition, you need to ensure that the citations and the format of your dissertation are in line with the specifications of your university. Many a times, writers are unable to spot their mistakes; hence, they should seek the help of their peers and colleagues in the editing process.
