Manuscript Editing for Nature Ecology & Evolution Journal Articles
Nature Ecology & Evolution covers the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, from molecular to ecosystem levels, along with relevant parts of the social sciences. It aims to bring together researchers and policymakers interested in the diversity of life. Springer Nature publishes it monthly online as part of Nature Portfolio, and the journal is edited in-house at Springer Nature in London.
Articles run up to 3,500 words, excluding abstract, Methods, references, and legends, with six display items, ten Extended Data items, and about 50 references. The Article abstract runs 200 words, unreferenced. Brief Communications run 1,000 to 1,500 words, with a three-sentence abstract of up to 100 words and two display items. References follow Nature style, numbered in one sequence across text, Methods, tables, and legends. A reporting summary, a data availability statement, and, where relevant, a code availability section are required. Double-anonymized review is available at the authors' option. First submissions may be in any format. Submissions go through the journal's online manuscript tracking system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Nature Ecology & Evolution. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Nature Ecology & Evolution
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 Nature Ecology & Evolution.
The journal's submission guidelines cover article types, formatting, and reporting standards. 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 Proceedings of the Royal Society B and Molecular Biology and Evolution.
