Manuscript Editing for Journal of Family Psychology Articles
Founded in 1987, the Journal of Family Psychology calls itself the premier family research journal. It covers family psychology from systems, developmental, cultural, and individual-differences perspectives. It publishes empirical studies of couple and parent-child relationships and evaluations of couple- and family-based therapy and prevention programs. The American Psychological Association publishes it eight times a year, and its editor is in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University.
Research, review, and theoretical manuscripts run no more than 30 to 35 pages all inclusive, with references kept to eight pages. Brief reports, including replications and clinical case studies, run no more than 20 pages. Overlength manuscripts are returned for shortening before review. Manuscripts follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, and a Transparency and Openness subsection closes the Method section. The abstract runs no more than 250 words, with up to five keywords, and titles preferably stay within 12 words. Randomized clinical trials include a CONSORT flow diagram and checklist. Masked review is mandatory, so the first text page holds only the title and submission date. Off the Grid Editing trims the reference list to its page limit and applies APA Style throughout. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Family 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 Family Psychology.
The APA's submission guidelines cover length, masked review, and trial reporting. 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.
