Available Support Paths
To keep the service clear and suitable for different postgraduate needs, we provide three main support paths:
| Path | When It Is Suitable | Type of Support |
|---|---|---|
| Full Thesis or Dissertation Journey Support | Suitable for students who need extended support across more than one stage, from idea and proposal to methodology, analysis, chapters, formatting, and defense preparation. | A comprehensive multi-stage service. Scope, price, timeline, and deliverables are determined after reviewing the thesis or dissertation case. |
| Publication Support from a Thesis or Dissertation | Suitable for students who want to develop one or more journal articles derived from the thesis or dissertation and submit them to suitable journals. | An independent publication path that may include selecting the publishable part, building the article, scientific editing, journal selection, submission, and revision support. |
| Partial Services | Suitable for students who need one specific service only, such as topic review, proposal review, methodology review, instrument review, data analysis, chapter editing, formatting, or defense slides. | Separate services that may be selected individually or combined depending on the student’s research stage and needs. |
Who This Page Is For
- Master’s students who need support with topic selection, proposal preparation, methodology, analysis, chapter writing, formatting, or defense preparation.
- Doctoral students who need deeper support with the research gap, scientific contribution, methodology, analysis, and dissertation structure.

- Students who want to publish from their thesis or dissertation by developing a journal article derived from their research outputs.
Full Thesis or Dissertation Journey Support
This service is designed for master’s and doctoral students who need structured academic support across more than one stage of the thesis or dissertation journey. It is suitable when one partial service is not enough and the student needs continuous support in developing the idea, proposal, literature review, methodology, analysis, chapters, formatting, and defense preparation.
This service does not mean completing the thesis or dissertation on behalf of the student, and it does not replace the university supervisor or university regulations. It provides additional support to help the student improve the quality, organization, clarity, consistency, and academic readiness of the work.
What Full Thesis or Dissertation Support May Include
| Stage | What the Support May Include |
|---|---|
| Topic Selection and Idea Development | Reviewing the idea, improving the research angle, assessing feasibility, and identifying an initial direction suitable for master’s or doctoral level. |
| Problem, Gap, and Contribution | Reviewing the research problem, developing the gap, supporting it with relevant studies, and clarifying the expected scientific contribution of the thesis or dissertation. |
| Research Proposal | Reviewing the title, problem, objectives, questions, hypotheses, methodology, significance, limitations, and general proposal formatting. |
| Literature Review and Theoretical Framework | Organizing the literature, preparing a thematic literature map, linking studies to the research gap, building a comparison table, and improving the logic of the literature review. |
| Methodology and Research Design | Reviewing the design, sample, variables, research instruments, data collection procedures, analysis plan, and ethical considerations. |
| Data Analysis and Results Reporting | Analyzing quantitative or qualitative data, preparing tables and figures, interpreting results, and linking results to research questions or hypotheses. |
| Chapter Editing and Academic Writing Improvement | Improving academic language, paragraph organization, chapter coherence, consistency, and formatting of tables, figures, and citations. |
| Defense Preparation | Preparing defense slides, summarizing the research, highlighting results, preparing expected questions, and organizing possible answers. |
Starting Prices for Full Thesis or Dissertation Support
| Full Support Type | Starting Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full Master’s Thesis Support | Starting from $3000 | Final price depends on the number of chapters, current readiness, analysis type, deadline, and university requirements. |
| Full Doctoral Dissertation Support | Starting from $6000 | Usually requires deeper support in gap, contribution, methodology, analysis, and dissertation scientific structure. |
Payment Milestones for Full Thesis or Dissertation Support
For full thesis or dissertation support, payments may be divided into clear stages to provide transparency for the student and protect the professional work completed by the center. The standard payment structure is:
| Payment Stage | Percentage | When It Is Due | Main Deliverable or Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 25% | Before work begins | Initial assessment, review of the idea or current thesis status, identification of key challenges, and preliminary support plan. |
| Stage 2 | 25% | After delivery and approval of the development plan or proposal/first chapter, depending on the case | Moving to literature review, methodology, analysis plan, or chapter development according to the agreed scope. |
| Stage 3 | 25% | After delivery of a major advanced deliverable | Such as methodology review, analysis report, developed chapters, or an advanced thesis/dissertation version. |
| Stage 4 | 25% | Before final delivery | Before delivering final files, formatted version, defense slides, or the final agreed package. |
First-stage satisfaction condition: Because the initial assessment and support planning stage is sensitive, 50% of the first payment only may be refundable if the student is not satisfied with the first-stage deliverables. This applies only before moving to Stage 2 and only if the student does not use the support plan, recommendations, research gap, scientific direction, or any materials produced in Stage 1.
Publication Support from a Thesis or Dissertation
Publication support from a thesis or dissertation is an independent and extended service. It aims to help postgraduate students develop one journal article derived from their thesis or dissertation, making it more focused and suitable for submission to an appropriate academic journal. This service does not mean converting the full thesis or dissertation into multiple papers unless this is agreed upon under a separate scope of work.
This service may include selecting the most publishable part of the thesis or dissertation, extracting the article idea, developing the research gap and contribution in article format, rebuilding the manuscript structure, selecting suitable results, developing the methodology, results, and discussion sections, scientific editing, journal selection, submission file preparation, and reviewer response support when needed.
Important clarification about Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4: In this page, these terms refer to the targeted journal level as shown in Scopus Sources, based on the Scopus/CiteScore data and metrics available at the time of verification. A journal’s quartile may vary by update year, subject category, or specific field classification within Scopus. Therefore, these levels are used as a targeting direction to estimate the required level of support, and they do not guarantee acceptance, publication, indexing, or the journal’s continued placement in any future quartile category.
| Publication Support Type | Starting Price | What Makes This Level Different? |
|---|---|---|
| Support for submission to a peer-reviewed journal without targeting a specific quartile | Starting from $800 | Suitable for students who want to develop a journal article from a thesis or dissertation and submit it to an appropriate journal without requiring a specific Q level. |
| Q4-targeted support | Starting from $1200 | Focuses on extracting a clear article from the thesis, improving the gap and contribution, and preparing the manuscript for a suitable indexed journal. |
| Q3-targeted support | Starting from $1500 | Requires stronger gap and contribution development, clearer methodology, results and discussion improvement, and a more targeted publication strategy. |
| Q2-targeted support | Starting from $2000 | Suitable for cases requiring stronger research positioning, deeper scientific development, and clear improvement in structure, methodology, analysis, and discussion. |
| Q1-targeted support | Starting from $2500 | Requires the highest level of idea, gap, contribution, scientific editing, and publication strategy development. Not all theses or dissertations are suitable for this path. |
Important note: The suitable support level depends on the quality of the thesis or dissertation, strength of the idea, gap and contribution, data type, analysis level, current writing quality, readiness of the results for publication, deadline, and target journals. This service does not guarantee article acceptance, publication, or indexing in any journal.
Payment Milestones for Publication Support from a Thesis or Dissertation
Because publication support from a thesis or dissertation may extend from article extraction to submission and revision, payments may be divided into clear stages as follows:
| Payment Stage | Percentage | When It Is Due | Main Deliverable or Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 25% | Before work begins | Assessment of the thesis or dissertation, selection of the most publishable part, article plan, research gap and contribution direction, and journal direction. |
| Stage 2 | 25% | After delivery and approval of the article plan, structure, and publication path | Moving to manuscript development, result extraction, and rewriting the content as an independent article. |
| Stage 3 | 20% | After delivery of the main manuscript ready for submission | Delivery of the developed article prepared for submission according to the agreed scope. |
| Stage 4 | 15% | If a first positive editorial decision is received | This may include conditional acceptance, acceptance with revisions, or a revision request after review, if it occurs. |
| Stage 5 | 15% | If final journal acceptance is issued | Success-based payment due only if final acceptance is issued by the journal. |
First-stage satisfaction condition: Because the stage of assessing the thesis or dissertation and selecting the most publishable article direction is highly sensitive, 50% of the first payment only may be refundable if the client is not satisfied with the first-stage deliverables, provided that the project does not move to Stage 2 and the client does not use the article plan, research gap, scientific direction, or any materials produced in Stage 1.
Important note on journal-related payments: Payments linked to journal decisions are due only if those events occur. They do not represent a guarantee of acceptance or publication. Journal acceptance, review, and publication decisions are made only by the journal and publisher.
