Manuscript Editing for Applied Sciences Journal Articles
Founded in 2011, Applied Sciences is a forum for all aspects of the applied natural sciences. It covers applied physics, applied chemistry, engineering, environmental and earth sciences, and applied biology. MDPI publishes it twice a month, fully open access.
The journal takes articles, communications, perspectives, reviews, and systematic reviews, with no word limits stated. References are numbered in square brackets before punctuation, with full titles as the ACS Style Guide recommends. The abstract runs about 200 words in one unheaded paragraph, with three to ten keywords. A data availability statement is mandatory, and systematic reviews follow PRISMA. The article processing charge includes only minor English editing; extensive editing is not included and may delay publication. Review is single-anonymized, with optional open peer review. Our editors bring the English to publishable standard before submission. Submissions go through MDPI's SuSy system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Applied Sciences. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Applied Sciences
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Applied Sciences.
MDPI's instructions for authors cover article types, references, and data. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our scientific editing services include scientific copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and citation formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Sensors and Energies.
