The
Scholar’s Solution
Final Polish & Compliance Package
Your entire academic manuscript, polished, consistent, and ready for submission — all in one comprehensive package.
Academic writing is demanding, not just in content but in presentation. Even after the arguments are strong and the writing clear, the final stages can still feel overwhelming. Formatting must align with guidelines, references need to match precisely, and the whole document requires a meticulous final proof.
The Scholar’s Solution brings every final detail together. This package ensures your thesis, dissertation, or research paper meets academic standards for accuracy, consistency, and presentation — giving you the confidence that your manuscript is submission-ready.
The Transformation
The strength of your research deserves a professional final presentation. The Scholar’s Solution brings all the essential end-stage checks into a single, coordinated process that removes distractions and safeguards your credibility.
With proofreading, citation alignment, and full document formatting working together, your manuscript reads cleanly, looks consistent, and meets institutional or journal requirements without you needing to juggle multiple services or deadlines.
This package provides the kind of clarity academics often say they wish they’d had earlier — a calm, organised close to a demanding project.
The PRocess
You send your document along with any formatting guidelines, department instructions, style sheets, or templates from your institution or target journal.
I begin by mapping out the manuscript’s requirements, then perform the three stages in the optimal order:
1. Formatting
The document is structured and made visually consistent from top to bottom.
2. Citation & reference check
All citations and references are corrected and aligned with your required style.
3. Proofreading
A careful final sweep removes errors and ensures consistency across the newly formatted text.
You then receive:
a marked-up file showing all changes
a clean, fully polished document
a PDF version for easy submission or review
a brief summary of any flagged issues (e.g., missing DOIs)
an optional Certificate of Language Check if required by your institution.

FAQs
Does this package include editing for style or clarity?
No. The Scholar’s Solution focuses on final corrections, formatting, and citation accuracy. For stylistic editing, please see the Quill of Refinement or the Doctoral Draught.
Can you work with university templates?
Yes. Send your template or requirements, and I’ll format accordingly.
Do you check references for accuracy?
I correct formatting and structure and flag missing data, but I don’t verify claims or research content.
Why choose the package instead of individual services?
It’s more cost-effective than booking each service separately and ensures consistency across all aspects of your manuscript.
Which English variant do you use?
I work comfortably in both UK and US English. Just let me know your preference (or your institution’s requirement), and I’ll apply it consistently throughout your document.
Can you bill my institution directly?
Yes. Many universities and research organisations prefer direct invoicing, and I can bill your institution if needed. If your department requires a cost centre, project number, or specific invoicing details, simply include them when you book the service.
Many scholars say this package brings a sense of calm and closure to their project. Everything aligns — the formatting is consistent, the citations stop fighting back, and the final proof removes lingering errors. The Scholar’s Solution offers the confidence of sending off a manuscript that is clear, polished, and formally compliant.
