Thesis & Academic Editing (EN)

Specialist English editing for theses, dissertations, journal articles and conference papers — the kind of work students and researchers at UAE universities (Khalifa, UAEU, AUS, Zayed, Heriot-Watt Dubai, the British and Australian campuses) actually submit. I work at three levels in one pass: language and grammar, clarity and academic tone, and structure and flow, plus a consistency check on terminology, headings, tables, figure captions and reference formatting. Citations are checked and corrected against your required style — APA 7, Harvard, IEEE, MLA or Chicago — so your in-text citations and reference list match cleanly.

Everything is delivered with Microsoft Word Track Changes plus margin comments and a short summary of the recurring issues I fixed, so you stay in full control, learn from the edit and can accept or reject each change before submitting to your supervisor or journal.

This is strictly editing of work you have already written — language, citations and structure. It is not the general proofreading/copy-editing gig (which covers everyday business copy, CVs and web text), and it is not ghost-writing: I do not write, research or fabricate content, results or references for you, which keeps your submission within your university's academic-integrity rules.

How it works

1. 1
   Review scope & style

   Send the document, your required citation style and any university or journal formatting guide; I confirm scope, word count and the AED quote

2. 2
   Edit with tracked changes

   I edit language, structure and citations directly in Word with Track Changes on and comments where a decision is yours

3. 3
   Summary & revisions

   You get the edited file plus a summary, and one round of follow-up on my edits is included
