Manuscript Editing for Security Journal Articles
Security Journal publishes peer-reviewed papers that develop ideas and improve practice in security, written for academics and practitioners alike. Its coverage runs from fraud and burglary to aviation security and private policing. Palgrave Macmillan publishes it as part of Springer Nature. Its editors are at the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati and Perpetuity Research and Consultancy in the UK.
Articles normally run no more than 8,000 words, with the word count and manuscript date printed at the end of the text. The abstract runs 125 words at most, with up to six keywords. References follow a style based on the Chicago Manual of Style. Citations go by number or by author and year, in one form throughout the article. Journal names are never abbreviated. Notes take superscript numbers and appear as a list before the references. The cover page gives full contact details for each author. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Security Journal
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 Security Journal.
Springer's submission guidelines cover length, abstracts, and references. 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 legal editing services cover security and crime prevention research, where applied findings and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Crime Science and Police Practice and Research.
