Academic Proofreader and Reference Editor
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
I’m putting the finishing touches on my PhD thesis in Microsoft Word and need a meticulous companion to double-check that every in-text citation is perfectly matched to its entry in the reference list. The entire document follows current APA guidelines, so accuracy and consistent formatting are non-negotiable.
What I need from you is straightforward:
• Verify each in-text citation appears, in correct form, in the reference list—and that nothing in the list goes uncited
• Repair or insert Word cross-references so clicking an in-text citation jumps straight to its reference (and back)
• Standardise punctuation, spacing, italics, and capitalisation to the latest APA manual
• Send back a clean final file plus a tracked-changes version so I can review your work
Figures and tables are outside the scope; the focus is strictly citations and references.
The thesis will be shared immediately after hire, along with my expected deadline. If you’ve untangled academic documents before and can work independently to a polished finish, I’d love to hear how quickly you can turn this around.
