Manuscript Editing for Social Science and Medicine Journal Articles
Social Science & Medicine brings social science to bear on health. Elsevier publishes it as an international, interdisciplinary journal, with research and reviews from anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology.
References follow an author-date style: names and years in the text, an alphabetical list at the end. Off the Grid Editing prepares SSM manuscripts in that style and applies the journal's guide for authors when you send it. A sociologist and an epidemiologist may review the same paper, so we define the terms each would need from the other's field.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Social Science & Medicine. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing Services for Social Science & Medicine
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 Social Science & Medicine.
Elsevier's guide for authors covers article types, highlights, and manuscript preparation for SSM. 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.
