Manuscript Editing for Scientific Reports Journal Articles
Founded in 2011, Scientific Reports publishes open-access original research from across the natural sciences, psychology, medicine, and engineering, physics included. Springer Nature publishes it, and papers are assessed for validity over perceived importance.
Articles run no more than 4,500 words of main text, excluding the abstract, methods, references, and legends, with up to eight display items. The unstructured abstract runs no more than 200 words, and titles no more than 20 words. References follow Nature style, numbered in square brackets, and are not copyedited. A data availability statement is mandatory, and reporting guidelines apply to clinical and animal work. Word is preferred, and LaTeX is accepted. Review is single-anonymous. Because references are not copyedited, our editors check each one before submission. Submissions go through Springer Nature's online platform.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Scientific Reports. 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 Scientific Reports
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 Scientific Reports.
The journal's submission guidelines cover length, references, and data. 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 AIP and APS 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 AIP Advances and The European Physical Journal Plus.
