Manuscript Editing for Nature Geoscience Journal Articles
Nature Geoscience is a monthly multidisciplinary journal that brings together research across the full range of the Earth sciences. Its subjects run from atmospheric, climate, and ocean science through geochemistry, geophysics, glaciology, hydrology, tectonics, and volcanology. Springer Nature publishes it, and the journal is edited in-house at Springer Nature.
Articles run up to 3,000 words of main text, with four to six display items and about 50 references. The abstract runs up to 200 words without references, and the title stays within 90 characters. Brief Communications run 1,000 to 1,500 words, with an abstract of up to 70 words in three sentences. References are numbered in order of citation in Nature Portfolio style, with article titles included for Articles. All original research carries a data availability statement, followed by a code availability statement where custom code is central. Authors may opt in to double-anonymized peer review and anonymize the manuscript themselves. Initial submissions need no special formatting, and final files go in as Word or LaTeX with a standard class. Our editors bring the main text within its limit and check the numbered references. Submissions go through Nature's online manuscript tracking system.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Nature Geoscience
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 Geoscience.
Nature Geoscience's submission guidelines cover article types, 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 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 Nature Climate Change and Geology.
