Manuscript Editing for Journal of Family Violence Articles
The Journal of Family Violence publishes peer-reviewed research aimed at preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence. Its scope includes child maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, elder abuse, and family homicide across all family forms. It welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research, systematic reviews, and theoretical work from researchers worldwide. Springer publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at the University of Minnesota School of Social Work.
Full-length articles run no more than 35 double-spaced pages and brief reports no more than 20. Systematic, meta-analytic, and scoping reviews run up to 40 pages, and letters up to 10. Page counts include the title page, abstract, references, tables, figures, and footnotes. References follow APA style with full DOI links, and notes are footnotes. The structured abstract runs 150 to 250 words under Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, with four to six keywords. Systematic reviews follow PRISMA, and scoping reviews follow PRISMA-ScR. Review is double-blind, so identifying details and revealing self-citations come out of the manuscript. A Declarations section is required, and generative AI use beyond copy editing is documented in the Methods. Manuscripts are in American English. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and fits the manuscript to its page limit. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Family Violence
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 Violence.
Springer's submission guidelines cover page limits, abstracts, and declarations. 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 approach to family violence research is set out under journal article and essay editing, with academic proofreading as the last check. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Springer Nature manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal and the Journal of Interpersonal Violence.
