What do environmental science journals require?
Environmental science research requires strong methods transparency and data availability, as reproducibility and data sharing are increasingly mandated by major journals (Nature, Science, Environmental Science and Technology, Global Change Biology). Fieldwork studies must report GPS coordinates, sampling protocols, and equipment calibration. Statistical analyses must include measures of uncertainty. Data deposition in public repositories (PANGAEA, Dryad, Zenodo) is often required. Environmental research often involves multi-author international teams with complex affiliation and funding disclosures.
Environmental science compliance checks
Data availability statement and repository link check
Verify that a data availability statement is present and that datasets are deposited in recognized repositories with links or accession numbers.
Methods reporting completeness
Check that fieldwork protocols, sampling methods, and equipment calibration details are reported with sufficient transparency.
Funding and affiliation validation for multi-institution teams
Confirm that funding sources and institutional affiliations are complete and correctly attributed for all authors.
Statistical reporting completeness
Flag missing measures of uncertainty, confidence intervals, or error bounds in statistical analyses.
Geographic data reporting check
Check that GPS coordinates, sampling locations, and geographic coverage are adequately described for field studies.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, increasingly so. Nature, Science, and most major environmental journals now require data availability statements and encourage or require deposition of underlying datasets in recognized repositories before publication.
Common repositories for environmental science include PANGAEA for earth and environmental data, Dryad for ecology and evolution data, Zenodo for general research data, and ICES for marine data. Specific repositories may be required depending on data type and journal.
Fieldwork methods should include GPS coordinates or geographic descriptions of sampling sites, dates and times of data collection, equipment specifications and calibration information, sampling protocols with sufficient detail for replication, and any deviations from standard protocols.
Environmental science papers are expected to report measures of central tendency and dispersion, uncertainty estimates and confidence intervals, sample sizes for all groups, the statistical software and version used, and justification for the statistical tests selected.
