Thesis Editors

Having your thesis edited by an external editor

As an HDR student you are allowed to employ a professional editor to provide limited editorial work on your thesis. The guidelines for use of professional editors are detailed in the Editing policy - higher degrees by research.

Editors Victoria (the professional body for Victorian editors) publishes a yearly register of freelance editors known as the Freelance Register, which you can download for free.

The Freelance Register provides contact details of editors who are Full Members of the Society of Editors and who are available for hire as freelance editors.

The national body the Institute of Professional Editors Ltd (IPEd) provides further information about editing research theses.
