James Gülgeçer, PhD

Academic Writing and Research Clarity SpecialistHelping researchers and doctoral candidates strengthen structure and analytical precision across dissertations and journal articles.


About

I hold a PhD from the University of Glasgow and am the author of Youth, Masculinity and the Labour Market. My work focuses on improving structural coherence and conceptual precision so that the arguments constructed in your writing become clearer and more persuasive. I strengthen your text while preserving meaning and rigour.I work with established academics, doctoral candidates and early-career researchers who want greater confidence in submitting and publishing academic work.


Services

Dissertation and thesis editing
I work with full doctoral manuscripts, often at the stage where the argument is there but the structure is not fully coherent. My focus is on strengthening chapter architecture and ensuring that the central claim is visible throughout.
Journal article review
Prior to submission, I provide feedback on framing and logical progression, including the clarity of the text's contribution. It is an assessment of whether the argument carries.
Working with AI-assisted drafts
If you have used AI in early drafting, that is workable. The challenge is usually tonal consistency and vocabulary sequencing. I reshape the material so that it reads as credible academic writing and reflects your disciplinary voice.
One-to-One Research Mentoring
Conceptual development sessions focused on argument construction and theoretical positioning.
