I have an MA thesis amounting to ≈20-21K words that revolves around English-Arabic machine translation and authorship attribution. I need an academic proofreader (must be a native speaker as per the committee’s instructions, not mine) to proofread my thesis.

The thesis has been accepted but needs adjustments. The proofreader’s job is to ensure:

• APA 7th style is strictly followed throughout the document.

• In-text citation is reviewed checked and compliant with APA 7th edition.

• The writing style is formal, academic, and methodological.

• Tables are formatted correctly as per APA 7th edition (including margins).

• The text is in American English (unless it’s direct quotation, as far as I understand).

• Punctuation marks are placed outside quotation for direct quotations.

• References to section and table numbers are accurate (e.g., “as seen in section X” must refer to the correct section number and title. The same applies to tables).

• Section and table titles are concise and meaningful (revise these where appropriate, along with the references thereto).

• Oxford comma is used where applicable.

• References are listed and written correctly both within text and the reference list (including accurate DOIs and page numbers).

• Sentences are easy to read and comprehend.

• Overall content (at a macro level) is coherent and tells a clear story.

• The narrative is clear and well-ordered

• The description of methodology stages indicates no compromise of research principles.

• Paper is formatted as per APA 7th edition, including indentations and vertical spacing (space before/after paragraphs and tables + line spacing).

• When citing multiple authors, either “&” or “and” is used across all citations (for consistency purposes and alignment with APA 7th edition).

• Tense is appropriate as per academic norms and APA 7th rules (past/present).

• Word count is reduced (preferably to ≈17K), and intricate sentences are simplified.

• Other comments placed within document are resolved.

Notes:

*Please do not use AI tools to edit the text. I have access to internet and can use these; what I need is your academic expertise and sharp, human attention to details.

*I need a helpful completion/feedback report once you’re done with the job for me to understand what changes have been made and how I can improve my future writings (written freely by you, with examples).

*I need the final document within 7 days of the job awarding date.

*I will be available for support as required to complete the task.
