  • Using a professional language editing service where editors will improve the English to ensure that your meaning is clear and identify problems that require your review. 

Please note that the use of a language editing service is not a requirement for publication in Applied Materials Sciences  and does not imply or guarantee that the article will be selected for peer review or accepted.

Depending on the situation, this may result in the journal’s implementation of the following measures, including, but not limited to:

  • If the manuscript is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.
  • If the article has already been published online, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction:
