Manuscript Editing for Journal of Machine Learning Research Articles
Founded in 2000, the Journal of Machine Learning Research publishes scholarly articles on the theory and methods of machine learning across all areas of the field. A separate track covers machine learning open source software. The journal publishes itself, fully open access and free of fees, with papers online as soon as they are accepted. Its editors-in-chief are at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Papers carry no hard limit, though papers over 35 pages take longer to review and those over 50 pages need a justification in the cover letter. The abstract runs no more than 200 words, with five keywords and a running title of 50 characters or fewer. Manuscripts are typeset in LaTeX with the jmlr2e style file and sent as PDF, and papers in other styles are rejected without review. Citations are author-year through natbib, and a cited name stands in the sentence as in Smith (1999). The cover letter discloses overlapping publications and conflicts and suggests three to five action editors and reviewers. An action editor then assigns three reviewers. Our editors check the source against jmlr2e and the natbib citation forms. Submissions go through the JMLR manuscript system.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Journal of Machine Learning Research. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Machine Learning Research
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 Machine Learning Research.
JMLR's information for authors covers length, the style file, and the cover letter. 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 scientific editing services include computer science copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and IEEE and ACM citation formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Transactions on Machine Learning Research and Machine Learning.
