Manuscript Editing for Chemical Reviews Journal Articles
Founded in 1924, Chemical Reviews publishes reviews that are substantial, comprehensive, authoritative, critical, and accessible, on recent topics not already reviewed. The American Chemical Society publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University.
Full reviews carry no stated length limit; Focus Reviews run no more than 20 published pages. Unsolicited reviews begin with a proposal on the journal's template, and decisions usually take about two months. References follow The ACS Style Guide, numbered with superscripts, with article titles in title case and author lists cut at ten. The abstract runs 100 to 200 words in one paragraph. The table-of-contents graphic must be original artwork by a coauthor. Our editors keep a long review consistent from section to section and every reference complete. Submissions go through the ACS Publishing Center.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Chemical Reviews. 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 Chemical Reviews
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 Chemical Reviews.
ACS's author guidelines cover proposals, references, and graphics. 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 ACS 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 the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Chemical Science.
