SCI Article Editing
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a 7,800-word manuscript on GIS-based urban earthquake risk assessment that is headed to an SCI-indexed journal. What I need now is a meticulous academic editor who can both refine the language and challenge the technical soundness of the study.
The literature review is my priority. I want sharper positioning of recent work on spatial seismic hazard mapping, loss modelling, and urban vulnerability indices. Please flag any missing landmark studies and suggest stronger thematic links between sections.
Beyond wording, I’d like you to verify that my GIS workflow—data preprocessing in ArcGIS Pro, spatial interpolation with IDW, and risk aggregation in QGIS—follows accepted practice. If some step looks weak, propose a correction or cite an authoritative source I can adopt.
Clarity and coherence matter throughout. Aim for smooth transitions, concise exposition, and consistency in terminology (e.g., “PGA” vs. “peak ground acceleration”). Track all edits in Word and leave concise in-text comments so I can follow your reasoning.
Deliverables (all in .docx):
• Clean, publication-ready manuscript
• Version with Track Changes and margin comments
• One-page technical note summarising GIS method checks and any critical fix you recommend
Turnaround of five days is ideal; earlier is welcome if quality is not compromised. If you have prior editing credits in seismology, disaster risk, or remote sensing journals, mention them—those will weigh heavily in my selection.
