Manuscript Editing for Journal of the American Chemical Society Articles
Founded in 1879, the Journal of the American Chemical Society is the weekly journal of the American Chemical Society for fundamental research in all fields of chemistry. It publishes Communications and Articles for a broad chemical audience.
Articles carry no fixed limit, though the guidelines note that long Articles often hold detail unsuited to a broad audience. References follow The ACS Style Guide, 3rd edition, numbered with superscripts in order of first citation, with article titles and CASSI journal abbreviations. An abstract of about 250 words and a table-of-contents graphic go in the manuscript file. Yield and purity are reported for every compound with the methods used, and Supporting Information goes in with the manuscript. Word templates are encouraged, LaTeX is supported, and Fast Format is accepted at first submission. Our editors apply ACS style and tighten the paper for a general chemistry readership. Submissions go through the ACS Publishing Center.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Journal of the American Chemical Society. 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 the Journal of the American Chemical Society
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 Journal of the American Chemical Society.
ACS's author guidelines cover article types, references, and Supporting Information. 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 scientific copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and ACS 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 Chemical Reviews and ACS Nano.
