A dissertation can have every heading in the right place and still not hold together. Esmond reads your draft as one argument and shows where the line from research question to conclusion breaks.
See how Esmond worksSupervisors rarely complain that a chapter is missing. They complain that chapters do not talk to each other: a literature review that never comes back, a method that answers a slightly different question, a conclusion that introduces claims the results never made.
Esmond checks the job each part has to do and whether it does it. It also flags what you could cut: passages that are accurate but carry no weight for your question.
Write down, in one line each, what every chapter contributes to answering your question. If a line reads 'background' or 'context' and nothing more, that chapter may be carrying less weight than its length suggests. If two lines say much the same thing, the chapters may overlap. The review does this reading for the full draft and marks the transitions where a reader loses track.
You upload your draft as a PDF. Short documents come back within minutes; a full dissertation takes longer. You get two things back: your own document with comments in the margin, and a separate feedback report that sets out what to tackle first. Every upload starts with a free preview, and the price follows the length of your document and is shown before you pay. No subscription, no account.
Esmond evaluates your work and writes nothing for you. Each comment points to a passage, explains what a supervisor or examiner might question, and gives a direction for revising it. You decide what to change, and every sentence stays yours.
Esmond is preparing its launch in Ireland and is not taking orders here yet. This page explains what the review does, so you know what to expect when it opens.
An empirical dissertation in psychology, a doctrinal piece in law and a close reading in English are built differently. Esmond reads your draft against what is normal in your discipline rather than one template. The exact structure your programme expects is set out in your module or programme handbook, and that always comes first.
No. Required sections are set by your programme. Esmond looks at whether the chapters you have work together to answer your question.
Yes. Choose 'first draft' in the intake and the feedback focuses on direction rather than detail.
