Manuscript Editing for JAMA Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Founded in 1883, JAMA is an international, peer-reviewed general medical journal whose aim is to promote the science and art of medicine and the betterment of public health. The American Medical Association publishes it, with new articles online every weekday.

Original Investigations run 3,000 words with up to five tables and figures, a structured abstract of up to 350 words, three Key Points, and a data sharing statement. References follow the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, numbered with superscripts in order of first citation and PubMed abbreviations. Manuscripts go in as Word documents, double-spaced, with tables in the file. Each study design follows its EQUATOR guideline, such as CONSORT or STROBE, and trials need registration, a protocol, and a statistical analysis plan. Review is single-anonymized. Our editors apply AMA style and write the structured abstract and Key Points to the journal's headings. Submissions go through JAMA's online system.

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way JAMA's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a clinical researcher does, checking that each outcome, number, and percentage matches across abstract, text, and tables. Track Changes stays on throughout.

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to JAMA. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for JAMA

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.

Manuscript Copy Editing

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.

Manuscript Line Editing

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.

Manuscript Proofreading

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 JAMA.

JAMA's instructions for authors cover article types, abstracts, and reporting. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one.
