Manuscript Editing for Genome Biology Journal Articles
Genome Biology covers all areas of biology and biomedicine studied from a genomic and post-genomic perspective. It publishes research, new methods and software tools, and reviews, from bioinformatics and epigenomics to genome editing and clinical genomics. BMC, part of Springer Nature, publishes it fully open access, and the journal is edited in-house at Springer Nature in London.
Article types include Research, Software, Database, Methodology, Brief report, Review, Correspondence, and Matters Arising. For many types the length and quantity of data are unrestricted. Figure and table titles run 15 words at most, and legends 300. The abstract runs up to 250 words under Background, Results, and Conclusions, followed by three to ten keywords. References follow Vancouver style, numbered, with Index Medicus abbreviations. An Availability of data and materials section is mandatory, and analysis scripts and software are deposited publicly with a DOI. Review is single-anonymous. Submissions go through the Springer Nature submission system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Genome 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 Genome 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 Genome Biology.
The Genome Biology submission guidelines cover article types, abstracts, 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 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 Nucleic Acids Research and Molecular Biology and Evolution.
