Recent decades have seen a proliferation of research on didactic techniques for graduate writing. One such technique is the thesis writing circle, based on peer reviews. The current study aimed to discover the impact of self-perceived research writing skills among eight thesis candidates participating as authors and reviewers in a thesis writing circle. Their experience was analyzed in a quantitative and qualitative manner through their responses to two questionnaires on the dimensions of academic writing. The dimensions of greatest impact were revision, search for assistance and group support, and writing as a process. These dimensions are mentioned most by those who have reported benefits from thesis writing circles.
