Manuscript Editing for Environmental Research Letters Journal Articles
Founded in 2006, Environmental Research Letters is an open access journal covering all of environmental science. It serves as a meeting place for the research and policy communities concerned with environmental change and management. IOP Publishing publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford.
Letters run a maximum of 4,000 words, excluding title, abstract, figures, tables, captions, and references. Each Letter needs a separately uploaded Justification Statement explaining why the work needs urgent, global attention. Perspectives run up to 2,000 words with no abstract and fewer than 20 references, and they include policy implications. The abstract should not normally exceed 300 words. Harvard or Vancouver references are both accepted when used consistently. Authors choose single-anonymous or double-anonymous review. IOP Publishing provides LaTeX and Word templates, and an article publication charge applies. Our editors check the reference style throughout and edit the Justification Statement with the paper. Submissions go through IOPscience as a single PDF.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Environmental Research Letters
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 Environmental Research Letters.
IOP Publishing's author guidelines for ERL cover article types, abstracts, and references. 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 Nature Climate Change and Environmental Science & Technology.
