Manuscript Editing for Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Articles
Founded in 1937, the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology publishes original contributions on the development, validity, and use of techniques for diagnosing and treating disordered behavior. Its work spans treatment and prevention, clinically relevant populations across the lifespan, and psychosocial aspects of health behaviors. The American Psychological Association publishes it monthly, and its editor is at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Full-length articles run no more than 35 pages in total, double-spaced in 12-point type, and anything longer needs justification in the cover letter. Brief Reports run 265 lines of text, references included. The structured abstract has Objective, Method, Results, and Conclusions sections in no more than 250 words. Up to five keywords and a public health significance statement of two or three sentences follow it. Manuscripts follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, and studies with new data, especially randomized trials, follow the Journal Article Reporting Standards. Principal outcomes report means, standard deviations, effect sizes, and confidence intervals. Trials reporting primary outcomes are registered, and masked review is mandatory. Off the Grid Editing builds the structured abstract and checks each reported statistic against the tables. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology
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 Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
