Manuscript Editing for Physical Therapy Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal is the official scientific journal of the American Physical Therapy Association, co-published by APTA and Oxford University Press. It publishes research in physical therapy and related rehabilitation fields for an international readership.

PTJ follows the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, though a first submission can use any complete style as long as references are numbered in order. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts in AMA style and checks them against the reporting guideline for your design, including TIDieR for interventions, which the journal strongly recommends. Most article types are submitted in both an anonymized and an unmasked version, and manuscripts go through ScholarOne.

Natural Intelligence for PTJ

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way PTJ's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a physical therapist researcher does, checking that each intervention is described well enough to reproduce. Track Changes stays on throughout.
