What Academic Proofreader does

Academic Proofreader performs an exhaustive, multi-pass proofread and copy-edit of an applied-microeconomics manuscript to top-economics-journal standards, checking prose, equations, table notes, footnotes, and citations for avoidable errors. Use it before submitting or circulating an empirical economics paper.

Academic Proofreader is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Academic Proofreader comes from a repository tagged academic-research, agent-skills, ai-agent, awesome-list and communication.
