Manuscript Editing for Journal of Research in Nursing Articles
The Journal of Research in Nursing publishes research on health care issues that informs nurses and other health professionals worldwide. Its original research supports evidence-based practice and better patient care, linking policy, research, and development work with clinical and academic excellence. Sage publishes eight issues a year. Its co-editors-in-chief are at Oxford Brookes University and Kristianstad University in Sweden.
Research papers normally run up to 5,000 words, excluding title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, and biographical statement. Research briefs run 1,500 to 2,000 words, and commentaries 750 to 1,000. The structured abstract runs up to 200 words under Background, Aims, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Each research paper adds four or five key points and states its contribution to nursing practice, theory, and policy, including in the abstract conclusions. References follow Sage Harvard author-date style. A separate title page carries a 30-word biography for each author, with CRediT contributions in the declarations. Interventions follow CONSORT and TIDieR, and observational studies follow STROBE. Review is double-anonymized. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Research in Nursing
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 Research in Nursing.
