Manuscript Editing for Behavioral Sciences Journal Articles
Behavioral Sciences is a peer-reviewed open access journal publishing original articles in psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, and the cognitive and behavioral sciences. Its scope also includes psychopathology, neuropsychology, social neuroscience, management science, and organizational behavior. MDPI publishes it monthly, and its editor-in-chief is in the Department of Educational Psychology at Ball State University.
Articles and reviews carry no maximum length, and scoping reviews go in as reviews with a PRISMA-ScR checklist. Citations are author-date with an alphabetical reference list, as the APA style guide recommends. First submissions may use any consistent reference style. The abstract is a single paragraph of about 200 words at most, with 3 to 10 keywords. Back matter covers author contributions, funding, institutional review board and informed consent statements, data availability, and conflicts of interest. Randomized trials include a CONSORT checklist and flow diagram. Review is single-anonymized, and authors may choose open peer review. An article processing charge applies. Off the Grid Editing applies APA author-date citations and completes each back matter section. Submissions go through MDPI SuSy.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Behavioral Sciences
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 Behavioral Sciences.
MDPI's instructions for authors cover article types, references, and back matter. 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 journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit behavioral science research, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for BMC Psychology and Health Psychology.
