Scientific Editor Needed to Proofread and Improve a Short Research Manuscript
Worldwide
I need an experienced academic or scientific editor to review a short research manuscript before submission. The section I need edited is approximately 1,500–2,000 words. The research and content are already complete, so I am not looking for someone to conduct research or rewrite the paper from scratch. I need the editor to improve the quality of the English while ensuring that the scientific meaning and technical terminology remain unchanged. The work will include: • Correcting grammar, punctuation, and syntax. • Improving sentence clarity and readability. • Editing awkward or overly complicated sentences. • Improving the logical flow between paragraphs. • Removing unnecessary repetition and wordiness. • Maintaining an appropriate academic and scientific tone. • Preserving technical terms, statistics, citations, and research findings. • Checking terminology for consistency. • Identifying unclear statements where necessary. • Reviewing the document for obvious citation or referencing inconsistencies. I would prefer the editing to be completed in Microsoft Word using Track Changes so that I can review all modifications. Please also provide a clean version of the edited document. Applicants with experience in scientific research, biomedical sciences, health sciences, academic editing, or journal manuscript editing would be particularly suitable. When applying, please briefly state your academic background and experience editing research manuscripts.
