The writer and philosopher Umberto Eco's enduringly popular manual ā€œHow to Write a Thesisā€ is more than a guide for undergraduates; the book is a celebration of the magical process of self-realization. nyer.cm/UNhk4ra

I go backwards paragraph by paragraph. It disrupts the flow and stuff that doesn’t look / sound right pops up.

Or read aloud. I use the ā€œread aloudā€ feature of Word. It uncovers missing words, repeated ones, and sentences that are unclear. . .

Every time you read a book, you discover new things. For my thesis, I read a book 10 times and with the 11th time I discovered half a sentence that changed lots of things, generally missed by scholars, so interpreted differently

One of my life's greatest achievements & pride is writing a PhD thesis that returned from examination with no corrections. Apart from having rockstar supervisors at UCT, the pointers in this thread contributed greatly to that success.

Have a qualified copyeditor go through your thesis before submission to eliminate language errors. They will also point out problems with structure. And ensure that your referencing is consistent and correct. Again, a qualified copyeditor will pick up these errors. 1/

I’d add to this (particularly soc sci): Make sure you are aware of the key concepts & terms you are using - dont overdo, dont mix up. Make sure your key concepts are in the title, abstract and part of subheadings throughout. Ensures constant reference and focus.
