Manuscript Editing for Journal of Experimental Criminology Articles
The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high-quality experimental and quasi-experimental research that advances criminological theory or evidence-based crime and justice policy. It also publishes systematic reviews and methodological papers on experimentation and review. Springer Nature publishes it, and the Division of Experimental Criminology of the American Society of Criminology calls it its official journal. Its editor-in-chief is at the University of Mississippi.
Original Research runs 4,000 to 8,000 words, and Short Reports and Research Notes run 2,000 to 4,000 words. The structured abstract runs 150 words or fewer under Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, followed by five to ten keywords in alphabetical order. Experimental trials follow CONSORT, and prospective trials give their registration number and date on the abstract's last line. Citations use Springer's author-date form, with endnotes placed before the references. Review is double-blind, and declarations go on a separate title page. Our editors check the CONSORT items and keep each result consistent across abstract, text, and tables. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Experimental Criminology
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 Experimental Criminology.
Springer's submission guidelines cover article types, abstracts, and trial registration. 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 legal editing services cover criminology and criminal justice research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Quantitative Criminology and Justice Quarterly.
