Manuscript Editing for Journal of Social Work Practice Articles
The Journal of Social Work Practice promotes psychodynamic and systemic perspectives on social work practice and relationship-based practice. It publishes empirical research, theory, and practice experience from the UK and worldwide, with shorter practitioner pieces in Voices from Practice. The Group for the Advancement of Psychodynamics and Psychotherapy in Social Work established the journal in the 1980s and owns it. Taylor & Francis publishes it, and its editors are at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and London South Bank University.
A typical paper runs no more than 6,500 words, counting the abstract, tables, references, captions, and notes. The unstructured abstract runs 200 words. Review is double-anonymous, by two peer reviewers. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. We keep case material readable and theoretical terms consistent from introduction to conclusion. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Social Work Practice
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 Social Work Practice.
Taylor & Francis's instructions for authors cover length, the abstract, and review. 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.
Academic proofreading is the final pass before submission, and our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit practice scholarship.
