Expert Needed for Ophthalmology Dissertation Proofreading
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need an experienced medical manuscript editor to perform a final review of my postgraduate ophthalmology dissertation before submission.
Document details:
· Type: Postgraduate thesis / dissertation
· Subject: Ophthalmology (pterygium surgery)
· Length: ~5,000 words (including 5 tables and 16 references)
· Format: Microsoft Word, following a provided template
What I need you to check:
1. Flow and structure – Does the introduction lead logically to the objectives? Do the methods match the results? Does the discussion correctly interpret the results? Is anything missing or redundant?
2. Statistics – Verify that the correct statistical tests were used (t-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Fisher's exact). Check that p-values are correctly reported and interpreted. Confirm the sample size calculation is adequately justified.
3. References – Check that all in-text citations match the reference list. Verify consistent Vancouver style formatting. Identify any missing or duplicate references.
4. Language and grammar – Correct any spelling, grammar, punctuation, or terminology errors.
5. Formatting – Ensure the manuscript follows my provided dissertation template.
Deliverables:
· Edited manuscript with tracked changes (Word)
· A 1–2 page summary report listing major issues and recommendations
My specific concerns:
· Is my sample size justification acceptable? (I assumed 0% recurrence in the control group; actual recurrence was 7.1%)
· Is my use of Fisher's exact test correct for outcomes with small numbers?
· Is the logical flow from introduction to discussion coherent?
Required qualifications:
· Experience editing medical or ophthalmology manuscripts
· Basic understanding of biostatistics (t-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Fisher's exact)
· Familiarity with Vancouver referencing style
