Hydrodynamics Q1 Paper Editing
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have several draft manuscripts in hydrodynamics / ocean engineering that are close to publication level. What I now need is an expert set of eyes—preferably someone familiar with mechanical engineering terminology and Q1–ranked journals—to carry each paper over the finish line.
Your core task is a technical content review. Most of the text is solid, but the Discussion and Conclusion sections still feel rough in places, so I would appreciate minor rewriting there for clarity and tighter logic. Beyond that, you’ll make sure every paragraph flows, the equations and figures are cited consistently, and the manuscript meets the specific formatting rules of the target Q1 journal (template, reference style, line numbering, page limits, etc.).
Once the manuscript is polished, I’d like you to prepare the submission package and actually file it through the journal’s portal. If a cover letter or highlights are required, you can draft those from the revised text. I will stay available to answer any technical questions; otherwise, you own the submission process and any quick tweaks the system asks for at upload.
Deliverables
• Revised manuscript with track-changes and a clean final version
• Rewritten, publication-ready Discussion and Conclusion sections
• Journal-compliant formatting, figures, tables, references, and metadata
• Submission files (cover letter, highlights, disclosure forms) uploaded and confirmed
Acceptance criteria
• Zero grammar or style flags in the journal’s automated checks
• All reviewer-facing files conform to the stated author guidelines
• Discussion and Conclusion read logically, with no ambiguity in findings or implications
If you have prior experience steering engineering papers into top-quartile journals and can begin this week, let’s talk details.
