Manuscript Editing for Geosciences Journal Articles
Founded in 2011, Geosciences publishes original papers and discussions on all interdisciplinary aspects of Earth and planetary sciences, with links to mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Its topics range from structural geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry to natural hazards, paleontology, planetary geology, geoheritage, and geoscience education. MDPI publishes it monthly and fully open access, with its editor-in-chief at the Centro de Astrobiología in Madrid.
Manuscripts carry no maximum length, provided the text is concise and comprehensive. An abstract of about 200 words is followed by three to ten keywords. References are numbered in square brackets in order of appearance, with full titles as the ACS Style Guide recommends. A data availability statement is required for most article types, and full datasets are shared where possible. Graphical abstracts measure at least 560 by 1100 pixels. Every manuscript that proceeds to review receives at least two single-anonymized reports. Our editors check terminology, units, and references across the paper. Submissions go through MDPI's SuSy system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Geosciences. 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 Geosciences
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 Geosciences.
MDPI's instructions for authors cover abstracts, references, and data statements. 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 environmental 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 Earth Sciences and Frontiers in Earth Science.
