Manuscript Editing for Professional Psychology Research and Practice Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing The American Psychological Association publishes Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, which covers the application of psychology and the scientific underpinnings of the profession.

Manuscripts follow APA 7th edition, with JARS for each design and JARS–REC on race, ethnicity, and culture for all research. Empirical papers need a Transparency and Openness subsection in the Method stating data, materials, code, and preregistration status, plus a public significance statement of one or two sentences. Review is masked, so grant numbers, IRB institution names, and repository links come out of the manuscript. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts to those standards, and submissions go through Editorial Manager.
