Manuscript Editing for Biogeosciences Journal Articles
Founded in 2004, Biogeosciences is a not-for-profit international journal for the publication and discussion of research in the biogeosciences. It aims to cut across the boundaries of established sciences and welcomes experimental, conceptual, and modelling approaches. Copernicus Publications publishes it fully open access for the European Geosciences Union. Its co-editors-in-chief are at the Technical University of Munich and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Research articles, reviews and syntheses, and ideas and perspectives carry no stated length limits. BG Letters run fewer than 2,500 words of main text, with a 200-word abstract. Each abstract must be intelligible to a general reader without the text, with citations only where urgently needed. A 500-character non-technical short summary is also required. Copernicus house style governs references, with author-date citations separated by semicolons and datasets cited by DOI. Sections on data, code, and sample availability appear as they apply, with IGSN numbers for samples. Figures run at 300 dpi in colour schemes readable with colour vision deficiency, and tables carry no colour. Preprints go on EGUsphere for six weeks of open discussion, and all reports are published with the final paper. Our editors check the abstract, figures, and references against these rules. Submissions go through Copernicus Office Editor.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Biogeosciences. 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 Biogeosciences
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 Biogeosciences.
The Biogeosciences submission guidelines cover manuscript types, data sections, and figures. 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 earth science copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and numbered and author-date 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 Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics and Environmental Research Letters.
