Physical sciences and engineering
proofreading and editing services

We understand the challenges of writing about technical subject matter while ensuring clarity and flow. Our experts are familiar with scientific terminology, units, and conventions – something non-specialist editors may struggle with.

A trusted name in editing and proofreading

Our editors are well versed in popular style and referencing guidelines used in physical sciences and engineering, such as IEEE and CSE. We can also accommodate special requests, such as formatting papers according to a target journal’s guidelines.

We’ll gladly address any questions you may have about your completed document; we believe after-care support is central to providing our clients with the best possible service.

Subjects include:

  • Aerospace engineering
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Astronomy & astrophysics
  • Chemistry & chemical engineering
  • Civil, electrical & mechanical engineering
  • Classical & quantum mechanics
  • Computer sciences
  • Earth sciences
  • Energy & power engineering
  • Environmental sciences
  • Materials science
  • Mathematics
  • Nuclear physics
  • Statistics

How we’ll edit and proofread your document

Our experienced editors are available 24/7/365 to rigorously review and comprehensively improve your writing.

Microsoft Word Microsoft Word’s Track Changes

We use Word’s Track Changes feature to highlight our amendments. We have alternative options for other formats, including PDF and LaTeX.

Improved style and appropriate register

We improve your style, diction and tone to ensure that your document is written in the appropriate register.

I’ve changed “needn’t occur” to “is unnecessary” to enhance the formality of the text. In general, contractions (needn’t, can’t, won’t, etc.) should be avoided in academic writing.

Dr Smith, PhD

Perfect clarity and structure

We’ll correct or query awkward phrasing and ambiguity to ensure that your writing is clearly expressed and easy to understand.

I would recommend being more specific here; do the physiological properties of FES systems create a challenging control problem or do they have to solve or address a challenging control problem?

Dr Smith, PhD

Grammar, punctuation and readability

We fix errors related to grammar, punctuation and readability.

When a system, theory, model, or procedure is named after two or more entities, the nouns are conventionally joined using an en dash. The same rule applies whenever the elements of a compound are considered equivalent, so the phrases “parent–child relationship”, “cost–benefit analysis”, etc., use an en dash rather than a hyphen.

Dr Smith, PhD

General feedback and advice

We provide feedback and advice on the composition of the writing, both within the document and in the Editor’s Summary Report (for documents over 3,000 words).

To make sure an abbreviation is consistently applied throughout the document, a useful tip is to search for the term using Control F (Command F on a Mac).
