Manuscript Editing for Canadian Social Work Review Journal Articles
The Canadian Social Work Review is a bilingual, peer-reviewed journal that advances social work scholarship, practice, and education. It publishes original research, critical analysis, and debate that enriches or challenges existing knowledge. Its focus is the Canadian social work context, with Canadian and relevant international articles in English and French. The Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE-ACFTS) publishes it twice a year.
Articles of analytic and empirical merit run 4,500 to 6,000 words, excluding references and the abstract. Authors submit to an open call, a theme issue, or the journal's student article competition. References follow APA style, seventh edition. The abstract runs no more than 250 words, with up to six keywords. Review is double-blind, by at least two external reviewers, and identifying details come out of the manuscript body. Authors may ask for First Nations, Métis, or Inuit reviewers and may suggest two reviewers free of conflicts. We apply APA 7 throughout and keep the article within its word range.
Our Promise

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Canadian Social Work Review
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 Canadian Social Work Review.
CASWE-ACFTS's submission page covers length, references, and review. 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.
See journal article and essay editing for how we edit social work education research, and academic proofreading for the last read before submission. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Intersectionalities and the Journal of Social Care.
