Manuscript Editing for Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research Articles
The Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research advances psychological science and supports the scholarly work of Psi Chi members. It publishes original empirical research from any subdiscipline of psychology. Quantitative, qualitative, meta-analytic, and replication studies are all welcome. Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, publishes it quarterly from its headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Manuscripts run fewer than 35 pages, counting the title page, abstract page, references, tables, figures, and appendices. APA Style, 7th edition, applies, and the journal supplies an APA Style Submission Checklist. Every citation has a matching reference, and every reference is cited. Exact p values run to three decimals, percentages to one, and other statistics to two. The abstract sits on a separate page, and quantitative abstracts report sample size, effect sizes, and confidence intervals. Required sections cover Participants, with masked IRB details, power analysis, and demographics, then Procedures, Measures, Results, and Discussion. At least one author is a Psi Chi member, and undergraduate first authors include a signed faculty sponsor statement. The package holds a masked Word manuscript, a cover letter, an APA cover page, and an agreement form signed by each author. Review is double-blind. Submissions go through Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research
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 Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research.
Psi Chi's submission guidelines cover length, required sections, and the submission package. 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 last read before submission, and our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit empirical psychology. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science and School Psychology Review.
