Language editing focuses on clarity, grammar, and academic tone. It ensures that the manuscript communicates findings accurately and is understandable to an international chemistry audience.

• Grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure
• Consistency in terminology and abbreviations
• Clarity of methods, results, and conclusions
• Improved readability while preserving scientific meaning

Editing improves clarity and flow across sections, while proofreading focuses on surface level errors such as spelling and punctuation. Editing is particularly helpful for chemistry manuscripts that describe complex synthesis routes, analytical methods, or mechanistic interpretations.

• Inconsistent terminology for compounds, reactions, or materials
• Ambiguous descriptions of experimental procedures
• Overuse of jargon that limits interdisciplinary understanding
• Unclear presentation of results or chemical structures

Editors can help align manuscripts with the journal structure described in the Instructions for Authors. This includes ensuring that required sections are present and that figures, tables, and references follow journal expectations.

Authors should verify that the manuscript includes a Data Availability Statement, ethics or safety notes where relevant, and any required reporting checklists.

• Confirm that the title reflects the main chemical contribution
• Use consistent nomenclature and units throughout the paper
• State experimental conditions clearly and in a reproducible form
• Ensure figures and tables are referenced in the text

Research teams often include collaborators with different writing conventions. Editing helps align tone and terminology so findings are clear to all readers. For international authors, editing can reduce language related barriers and improve the flow of complex chemical descriptions.

Language editing does not change the scientific content of a paper or guarantee acceptance. It does not replace peer review or methodological guidance. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of data, analyses, and conclusions.

To request language editing or formatting assistance, contact the editorial office with your manuscript title and a brief description of your needs. You will receive guidance on the available service options and the steps required to proceed.

Language editing is optional and does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are evaluated on scientific quality, ethics, and relevance to chemistry.
