Manuscript Editing for Environmental Science & Technology Journal Articles
Founded in 1967, Environmental Science & Technology publishes research for a multidisciplinary audience of scientists, policy makers, and the wider environmental community. Its mission is to advance scholarship on complex environmental phenomena while helping to solve environmental problems. The American Chemical Society publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at Yale University.
Research Articles run 7,000 words, counted from the abstract through the end of the main text, with captions included and references excluded. Reviews run 10,000 words, Policy Analyses 7,000, and Perspectives 4,000. Research Articles carry an abstract of 150 to 200 words, five to eight keywords, and a TOC graphic. References follow ACS style, numbered with superscripts in order of appearance, and any complete style is accepted at the initial Fast Format stage. Every submission needs a cover letter that makes the environmental relevance clear and gives the case for publication in the journal. Research Articles are screened by the executive editors and may then go to about three reviewers. Data are deposited in a public database on publication, with accession codes stated. Our editors apply ACS style and keep each paper within its word count. Submissions go through the ACS Publishing Center.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Environmental Science & Technology. 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 Environmental Science & Technology
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 Science & Technology.
The ACS author guidelines cover article types, word counts, 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 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 Environmental Research Letters and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
