Manuscript Editing for Chemical Science Journal Articles
Founded in 2010, Chemical Science is the flagship journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, covering the full breadth of the chemical sciences. It seeks bold papers with new ideas, and it is diamond open access with no charge to authors. Its editor-in-chief is at the University of Liverpool.
Edge articles carry no page limit, and most run 4 to 10 pages; reviews normally come by invitation. References follow RSC Vancouver style, with superscript numbers in citation order and CASSI abbreviations. The abstract runs about 50 to 250 words in one paragraph. A data availability statement is mandatory, and a table-of-contents graphic with a short text follows at revision. Authors choose single- or double-anonymized review. English may be British or American, used consistently. Word and LaTeX templates are available. Our editors apply RSC style and sharpen the case for the paper's significance. Submissions go through ScholarOne.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Chemical Science. 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 Science
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 Science.
The RSC's author guidelines 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 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 RSC Advances and the New Journal of Chemistry.
