Comprehensive Academic Manuscript Editing

I need a native-English editor to refine a 202,548-word science manuscript. The task goes well beyond basic proofreading—I’m looking for comprehensive editing that enhances readability, flow, and logical structure while preserving every technical term and the overall scientific tone. Your responsibilities • Line-by-line review to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax • Re-phrase awkward or wordy constructions for clarity and concision without altering scientific meaning • Ensure consistency in terminology, units, tense, and abbreviations throughout the text • Flag and, where appropriate, reorganize sentences or paragraphs that disrupt narrative flow • Cross-check every in-text citation against the reference list, confirming accuracy and formatting them to the target journal style (I’ll provide the guidelines) • Deliver two Word files: one with Track Changes, one clean and publication-ready A strong background in academic or scientific editing is essential. Familiarity with citation management tools (e.g., EndNote, Zotero) and advanced Word features will be helpful. Please maintain strict confidentiality and keep all edits inside Word’s change-tracking so I can easily review them. In your proposal, outline relevant experience with large manuscripts, typical turnaround time for a project of this size, and any questions you need clarified.
