Manuscript Editing for Journal of Child and Family Studies Articles
Founded in 1992, the Journal of Child and Family Studies is an international, interdisciplinary forum on the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. It takes an ecological view of how individual, family, and community contexts shape well-being. It publishes applied and translational research, program evaluation, and work on service delivery and policy. Springer publishes it, and it is edited at the Institute for Families in Society, University of South Carolina.
Manuscripts run no more than 30 pages, including tables, figures, and references. Titles run no more than 15 words, and the running head 50 characters or fewer. References follow strict APA style, seventh edition, and the manuscript uses no footnotes. The single-paragraph abstract runs no more than 250 words, followed by five keywords. Three to five highlights of about 125 characters each are mandatory. Original research includes a data availability statement. A Declarations section covers funding, competing interests, ethics, consent, and author contributions. Prospective clinical trials give their registration number as the last line of the abstract. Review is double-blind, with a separate title page and a blinded manuscript. Off the Grid Editing applies APA 7 and works note material into the text.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Child and Family Studies
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 Journal of Child and Family Studies.
Springer's submission guidelines cover length, highlights, and APA style. 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.
Academic proofreading is our last read before submission, and journal article and essay editing covers how we edit family research. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Family Violence and Families in Society.
