Tell a story about your research
Your manuscript will tell other researchers a story about what you did, why, your findings and why they are interesting. Writing clearly can be a challenge, even for authors whose first language is English. The Edanz mission is to remove language as a barrier to acceptance of your manuscript. Before you begin writing, we encourage you to download our Guide to Publication Success and to read our advice on Writing in English for non-native authors. Once you've finished writing your manuscript then you may wish to have one of our native-English experts in your field revise your English so that it is clear, concise and reaches a level suitable for submission to peer review at an international journal.

- Abstracts and key words
Most people will only read your abstract. We show you how to encapsulate your research and the importance of your findings into a concise summary.
- Publication ethics
Unethical behavior can lead to rejection or even a ban from some journals. But what comprises unethical behavior and how can it be avoided?
- The 'write' order and IMRaD

- Rejecting without review: the whys, the hows
The number of manuscript submissions to SCI journals vastly outweighs the amount of space journals have to publish. To ensure that appropriate manuscripts are sent for peer review, the editorial selection process has critical role to play. The editorial by ACS Nano associate editor Jillian M. Buriak describes rejecting without review and how to avoid it.
