Manuscript Editing for PeerJ Computer Science Journal Articles
First published in 2015, PeerJ Computer Science considers articles across the whole of computer science. Submissions are judged on an objective determination of their scientific and methodological soundness. PeerJ publishes it fully open access.
Article types include research articles, literature reviews, AI application papers, data reports, and registered reports. Titles have a hard limit of 250 characters, and the self-contained abstract runs up to 500 words under bold subheadings, with no references. In-text citations give author and year, and the reference list is alphabetized; PeerJ standardizes references at production. Manuscripts go in as DOCX, or as TeX with a PDF, source, and figures, and an Overleaf template is available. Data and code are almost always required, and code on GitHub or GitLab is archived with a DOI. AI application papers document datasets, preprocessing, computing infrastructure, and evaluation metrics. Review is single-blind, and reviews of published articles are made public. Our editors keep British or American spelling consistent, as the journal requires. Submissions go through PeerJ's online submission system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to PeerJ Computer Science. 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 PeerJ Computer Science
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 PeerJ Computer Science.
PeerJ's author instructions cover article types, abstracts, and data and code requirements. 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 computer science copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and IEEE and numbered 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 the Journal of Big Data and Algorithms.
