$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need someone to copy edit an academic article prior to submission to an economics journal. The text of the article is approximately 11.5K words. The copyediting needs to be more than just noting where a comma is missing. On top of correcting any pure grammatical mistakes, sentences may need to be restructured to sound intelligent. I am a native english speaker and use American english conventions. My coauthor is also a fluent english speaker. The article will be provided in an MS Word file and is ready for copy editing. Ideally, the file would be returned with all of the needed corrections made in the paper within three days and using track changes. Obviously, there will be some corrections that will go awry because it is unclear what is meant in the original text or because of the technical features that are unique to the economics discipline. The file will need to be returned in MS Word format by Ideally, I would get the file back in 72 hours. This article is original scholarship and should not be shared with others or posted in other places. My coauthor and I will retain any and all copyrights to the article, as it is our intellectual property. The abstract of the article is attached.

Hi, After working as a proofreader in a large video game company (publisher of Skyrim) for 3.5 years, I am taking a break for a while, and have a lot of time on my hands, meaning I'am available to work extensively on your project, for a quick turnaround. I estimate that proofreading your academic paper could be done in 2 days, giving you extra time to go through edits. The way I would usually work would be by starting with a quick read through of your project, to get a sense of the tone and context and to get familiar with your research and its direction, which I think is as important as correct grammar and spelling, especially with reseatch. Then I would perform the actual proofreading, making sure your text flows, conveys your idea and is of course in proper English. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Have a good day, Arthur

Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I would be pleased to edit your R&D journal article. Your finding is very interesting. Why choose me? Well, I’m a native English speaker and a trained professional journalist, writer and editor, and I have considerable experience editing academic writing to the standard required for publication. My background is that I have more than 20 years’ experience working full-time with (collectively) major national Australian newspapers and magazines, book publishers and two large government departments (tax and primary industries). I have also worked freelance for large corporations and small businesses as well as academics, authors, students and other individuals. I can edit to US (or UK) English and would edit your article personally (not farm it around a team, subcontract it or simply run it through a grammar program). My broad experience means I am comfortable editing most subjects but I have some familiarity with R&D, from my time as a senior editor with the Australian Taxation Office. I also have a working knowledge of the patent system. Two of my earliest projects on Freelancer were journal articles. In my short time on Freelancer I have learnt that I deliver more than my clients expect from me (please see the feedback my clients have left). I will stay with you until you are satisfied with the text. Please contact me if there is anything else I can tell you and to discuss getting your article ready for submission.

Hello, I am very familiar with academic writing and can help you with your paper. I'm a native English-speaking American with 24 years of experience as a professional copy editor/proofreader. I've edited thousands of documents. Most of my customers have been non-native English-speakers who needed help preparing their reports for publication in peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals. Not only can I help with spelling, punctuation, and grammar, I have the experience to help with word choice, flow, pacing, etc. I scanned the sample you provided. I noted several punctuation errors, but other than that I didn't see any glaring errors. I would not expect the paper to be very difficult to edit and I should have no problems meeting your 72 h deadline. Could you answer these questions? - Does it need to have a certain format or follow a certain style? Do you intend to submit your paper to a particular journal? - Do you need to have references checked? I don't check the accuracy of references, but I do check to ensure that the formatting complies with any requirements, or is at least internally consistent. Please contact me if you have any questions. Good luck. Jeff
