I’m preparing a peer-review–ready article that surveys recent advances in Microbiology and I’d like a skilled researcher-writer to turn the existing body of papers into a clear, critical literature review. Scope The article should sit firmly within Biological Sciences, focusing on Microbiology rather than broader genetics or ecology themes. I need a well-structured manuscript that tracks major developments, debates, and knowledge gaps from the past decade. What I’m looking for • 4,000–5,000 words of original prose, fluent and scientific in tone • Structured abstract, introduction, methods for the review process, thematic discussion, conclusion, and future-work section • Critical comparison of key studies, highlighting methodologies, findings, and limitations • One visual element (table or figure) summarising study trends or data • Reference list formatted in APA 7th, all sources drawn from reputable databases such as PubMed, Scopus, or Web of Science, with at least 30 recent papers Quality checkpoints • No AI-generated text without substantial human editing—originality reports may be requested • Clear, concise language suitable for submission to a mid-tier microbiology journal • Logical flow and rigorous citation of evidence Timeline & collaboration I’d like the first detailed outline within a week, a full draft a week after that, and one revision round before we close. We’ll communicate via Freelancer chat and, if needed, share annotated PDFs. If you have a solid background in microbiological research and a track record of published reviews, I’d be happy to read a sample page or existing publication when you bid.
