Manuscript Editing for American Journal of Critical Care Articles
Founded in 1992, the American Journal of Critical Care publishes original clinical, translational, and health services research on critical care nursing and interprofessional practice. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses publishes it bimonthly. One of its co-editors in chief is at the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies.
Research articles run 1,500 to 3,000 words, with no more than three tables and three figures preferred. Brief reports run 750 to 1,200 words, and review articles come by invitation. References follow the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, numbered in order of first appearance with Index Medicus abbreviations. The structured abstract runs 250 words at most, in the third person, with three to five CINAHL or MeSH keywords. Research articles include Clinical Pearls, four to six bulleted items with a short introduction. Reporting follows SQUIRE, CONSORT 2010, or the matching EQUATOR guideline, and any AI use is disclosed. Two or more reviewers read each blinded manuscript. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the American Journal of Critical Care
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 American Journal of Critical Care.
AJCC's instructions for authors cover article types, abstracts, and references. 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 nursing and health sciences copy editing, line editing, and AMA and APA 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 Critical Care Nurse and the Western Journal of Nursing Research.
