Academic Proofreading, Editing, and Paraphrasing for Chemical Engineering Paper
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Proofreading, language editing, and paraphrasing for a review paper on blue hydrogen process intensification, approximately 15,000 words excluding references and tables
The editor must have demonstrable experience editing manuscripts in chemical engineering, energy systems, carbon capture, or process engineering; general English proofreading experience alone is not sufficient
The scope covers three tasks: correction of grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation; elevation of the academic register and readability throughout the manuscript; and paraphrasing of any passages that read as unnatural, repetitive, or below journal-standard prose quality
The final deliverable will be checked through Turnitin for both plagiarism and AI-generated content detection; the requirement is 0% on both checks, and the editor is responsible for ensuring the text passes these checks before delivery.
Several sections have already been professionally polished and should not be substantially altered (the editor will receive specific instructions identifying these sections)
Priority sections for correction and paraphrasing will be flagged in the brief, including portions of the introduction, the environmental and economic analysis, and the future directions discussion
The editor must not alter technical terminology, numerical values, citation placements, table content, or figure captions
Deliverable: a clean edited Word document with tracked changes showing all modifications, accompanied by a Turnitin originality and AI detection report confirming 0% on both measures
A one-page sample edit will be required before hiring; a sample page from the manuscript will be provided to shortlisted candidates for evaluation of both editing quality and paraphrasing ability
Required qualifications: native or near-native English proficiency, prior experience editing and paraphrasing academic manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals in engineering or physical sciences, familiarity with APA or author-date citation conventions
Preferred qualifications: PhD or MSc in chemical engineering, energy engineering, or a related discipline; experience with journals such as Applied Energy, Chemical Engineering Journal, or similar; prior experience delivering Turnitin-compliant manuscripts
Timeline: completion within 5 to 7 working days from assignment
Budget: open to proposals; please quote based on the word count and scope described above
