I’m preparing my sciences-based thesis for submission and want a fresh set of expert eyes on the full manuscript. Your task is to proofread the document in English—grammar, punctuation, flow, and consistency—while respecting the technical terminology of my field. I write and speak both English and Arabic, so if you’re comfortable handling short bilingual sections such as the abstract or key terms that appear in both languages, that will be a plus, though the core text is entirely English. Please work directly in Word using Track Changes, then return two files: one showing every edit and one clean, ready-to-submit version. A seven-day turnaround from the moment we start keeps me on schedule. Acceptance criteria • All edits visible in Track Changes, no unresolved comments • Readability improved without altering scientific meaning • Final file free of spelling or grammatical errors (target: near-zero Grammarly flags) • Bilingual abstract, where touched, reads naturally in both languages Let me know about your experience with academic theses or dissertations in the sciences and your typical word-count capacity per day. I’m eager to work with someone who can polish this document to publication quality.
