Manuscript Editing for Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Sage publishes the Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, APNA's official journal, six times a year. JAPNA covers science, education, and service delivery in mental health and substance use, from promotion and prevention through treatment and recovery across the lifespan.

Off the Grid Editing prepares JAPNA manuscripts in APA 7th edition, and submissions go through Sage Track, the journal's ScholarOne site. Abstracts for original research, quality improvement, and reviews are structured under Background, Aims, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Review is double-anonymized, so we also check that nothing in the text identifies you or your site.

Natural Intelligence for JAPNA

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way JAPNA's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a psychiatric-mental health nurse does, looking for what changes in care for someone in treatment or recovery. Track Changes stays on throughout.

Our Promise

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to JAPNA. 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.
