Manuscript Editing for The EMBO Journal Articles
Founded in 1982, The EMBO Journal publishes research papers of broad general interest, exceptional conceptual advance, and functional insight in molecular biology. It is the flagship publication of EMBO and also considers manuscripts with referee reports from Review Commons or other journals. EMBO Press publishes it fully open access, and its chief editor is at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Research Articles are concise, with up to 10 main figures plus Expanded View material and unlimited references. Method and Resource articles follow the same format. The abstract is a single paragraph of up to 175 words without citations, and titles run 100 characters at most. References follow Harvard author-date style, alphabetical, with the first 10 authors before et al. and datasets tagged in the list. Revised manuscripts add a reporting checklist, a Reagents and Tools table, structured Methods, and source data deposited in BioStudies. Each published article carries a transparent review process file. Submissions go through eJournalPress.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to The EMBO Journal. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for The EMBO Journal
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 The EMBO Journal.
The EMBO Journal submission guidelines cover article types, references, and source 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 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 Nucleic Acids Research.
