EditverseThesis synopsis, literature review and ethics submission
from $500See levels and order
Most theses lose months before data collection begins: at the synopsis, the review of literature and the ethics committee. This service prepares those three documents with you. It is for MD, MS, DNB, master's and PhD candidates who have a topic and a supervisor's brief and need a defensible plan on paper.
Specification
- You provide
- The topic and working title, your supervisor's brief or comments, the university synopsis format, any papers you have already collected, and the ethics committee's forms (Premium).
- We do
- Search the literature and record the search, extract the included studies into an evidence table, support the writing of the review chapter, set out the methodology with a sample size calculation, and draft the ethics application from the agreed synopsis.
- You receive
- Literature review chapter draft with evidence table and reference library file; at Advanced, a methodology plan and synopsis in your university's format; at Premium, the completed ethics application draft.
- Standard applied
- PRISMA 2020 for recording the search and study selection; ICMJE Recommendations, January 2026; ICH E6(R3) principles for studies involving participants; your university's synopsis rules and named reference style (Vancouver, APA, AMA or Harvard).
- Turnaround
- 10 business days.
- Revision rounds
- 1 round, covering supervisor or guide comments.
- Team
- A subject-matter expert (MD or PhD in the thesis field) with a medical writer; a statistician for the sample size at Advanced and Premium.
Levels
The levels follow the order in which a thesis is approved: the review first, then the plan, then the ethics file.
| What is included | Basic $500 | Advanced $900 | Premium $1,350 |

| Evidence table of included studies | |||

A full systematic review for publication is a different piece of work and is ordered separately.
How the work is checked
- Search strings, databases and dates are saved, so the review can be updated before submission of the thesis.
- Every row of the evidence table is checked against the source paper for design, sample and main finding.
- References are verified against PubMed or the publisher record and formatted in the style your university names.
- The research question, objectives, outcome measures and sample size are checked for agreement across synopsis and ethics form.
- A subject-matter expert reads the review for gaps: the argument must lead to your research question.

Questions about this service
My topic is not final. Can you start?
Yes, if you have a subject area and a supervisor's brief. The first step is a short scoping search that shows where the gap is. The title is fixed with you before the full review is written.
How many references will the review have?
The number follows from the search and your university's length rule, not from a quota. The evidence table shows every included study and why it is there.
Who is the author of the synopsis?
You are. The work is prepared from your topic and your supervisor's direction, you review and approve it, and you remain accountable for it under your university's rules.
Will the ethics draft fit my committee's form?
The Premium level is written directly on the forms your committee issues. Send the current version, since committees revise their forms.
