Summary

I need an experienced academic proofreader and language editor to review my complete PhD thesis in Bionengeering. The thesis contains approximately 43000words and should follow British English. The editor should correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, clarity, academic tone, repetition, and consistency. Technical terms, abbreviations, verb tense, headings, tables, and figure captions should also be checked. All corrections must be made in Microsoft Word using Track Changes. Comments should be added when a sentence is unclear or when the scientific meaning needs confirmation. The editor must preserve my original meaning, research findings, arguments, interpretations, references, and academic voice. The editor must not add new ideas, evidence, references, or unsupported claims. The work must be completed manually. Generative AI and automated rewriting tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, QuillBot, AI paraphrasers, and generative Grammarly features, must not be used or any AI. No part of the thesis may be uploaded to an external AI platform. The thesis contains unpublished research and must remain confidential. The work must not be shared, subcontracted, published, stored externally, or used for AI training. Applicants should have previous experience proofreading PhD theses, dissertations, or scientific journal articles. Experience in [your subject area] is preferred. The project will begin with a paid sample of approximately 1,000 words. If the quality is satisfactory, I will provide one complete chapter and then the remaining thesis through separate milestones. Please include the following information in your proposal: * your academic and professional qualifications; * your experience editing PhD theses; * your experience in my subject area; * the software and tools you use; * your estimated price and completion period; * confirmation that you will personally complete the work; * confirmation that you will not use generative AI; * confirmation that you will use Microsoft Word Track Changes.
