Manuscript Editing for Current Biology Journal Articles
Current Biology is a general biology journal publishing original research across all areas of biology. A primary aim is to open communication across the fields of biology. Elsevier publishes it under the Cell Press imprint.
The summary is followed by up to 10 keywords. In a Report, all essential background goes in the summary, and the results section begins at once with the new findings. Authors are asked to leave out novelty claims, including the word novel. Nomenclature follows IUPAC and IUBMB conventions, organism names follow genetic conventions, and nonstandard abbreviations are defined at first use. Review is single-anonymous, the Cell Press standard. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Our editors check terms, names, and abbreviations against these conventions.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Current Biology. 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 Current Biology
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 Current Biology.
Current Biology's guide to revised manuscripts covers keywords, Reports, and nomenclature. 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 biological copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and Vancouver 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 Cell and PLOS Biology.
