Manuscript Editing for New Zealand Journal of Psychology Articles
The New Zealand Journal of Psychology publishes manuscripts in any substantive area of psychology, along with book reviews. Most are quantitative and qualitative research papers, with review and theoretical articles alongside them. Each manuscript uses New Zealand data, addresses the country's social and cultural context, or discusses psychological practice in New Zealand. The New Zealand Psychological Society publishes three issues a year, and its editor is at the School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington.
Regular articles run no more than 7,000 words, excluding references. Manuscripts follow APA style for tables, figures, references, and abstracts, with all copy double-spaced. The abstract runs no more than 960 characters, spaces included, followed by three to six keywords. Tables and figures sit on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Every manuscript considers the applicability of its content to Māori. Review is double-blind, with a separate title page, and manuscripts not prepared for blind review are returned. Authors follow the Code of Ethics for Psychologists Working in Aotearoa New Zealand. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and trims the abstract to its character limit. Submissions go through Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the New Zealand Journal of Psychology
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 New Zealand Journal of Psychology.
The journal's author guidelines cover length, abstracts, and blind 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 psychology research. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work and Health Psychology Report.
