Manuscript Editing for Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy Journal Articles
Founded in 2009, Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy publishes empirical research on the psychological effects of trauma. It serves as a forum for interdisciplinary discussion that blends science, theory, practice, and policy. Its scope runs from treatment, assessment, and diagnosis to epidemiology, neuroimaging, health services, and cultural competence. The American Psychological Association publishes it eight times a year for Division 56, the Division of Trauma Psychology.
Full manuscripts run no more than 28 double-spaced pages, counting the title page, abstract, body, references, tables, and figures. Brief reports run no more than 12 pages on the same count. Manuscripts follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, and the Journal Article Reporting Standards for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. A structured abstract of no more than 250 words is followed by five keywords. Below them sits a Clinical Impact Statement of up to 100 words in conversational English. The Method section describes participants in detail and states how informed consent was obtained. Authors choose masked or unmasked review in the cover letter. Off the Grid Editing trims to the page limit and edits the Clinical Impact Statement into plain English. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy
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 Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy.
The APA's submission guidelines cover length, abstracts, and participant reporting. 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.
Our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit trauma research, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Child Maltreatment and the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation.
