An academic editor holding a PhD, expert in publishing according to Web of Science standards, who knows how to deal with academic journals and has an editorial style that convinces editors-in-chief and reviewers of the article.
• Has peer-reviewed publications in the social sciences/humanities indexed in SSCI.
• Provides clear evidence of this: DOI links or before/after samples.

2️⃣ Article topic:
• A theoretical, conceptual article that is not based on a quantitative analytical methodology.

3️⃣ Purpose of the work:
• Refining the English manuscript in a coherent British academic style that meets Scopus Q1 standards.
• Standardizing citations and references in line with SSCI requirements.
• Selecting suitable journals where the acceptance rate is higher and for which the editor can ensure acceptance.

4️⃣ What is required from the editor?
• Substantive and line editing: logical coherence, removal of repetition, clarity of style while preserving scientific accuracy.
• Structural enhancement of the main sections: Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Discussion/Findings, Conclusion, and Practical/Policy Implications (if any).
• Reviewing documentation: full consistency between in-text citations and the reference list according to the chosen style.
• Submission preparation: Cover Letter + response-to-reviewers template + any required contributor pages/appendices.

1. A Track Changes file with all edits.
2. A Clean version ready for submission.

6️⃣ Key notice:
• The required work is a peer-reviewed academic article according to SSCI standards, not a journalistic piece or general content.
• No editor will be accepted without a real publication record in SSCI / Scopus Q1, and they must provide samples that can be checked before entering into an agreement.
