Manuscript Editing for Social Work Journal Articles
Social Work belongs to the National Association of Social Workers, and Oxford University Press publishes it for NASW. Manuscripts go through the journal's own submission portal and follow the NASW Press author guidelines.
Those guidelines call for APA author-date citation, and Off the Grid Editing applies them throughout. We edit so a practitioner can follow your methods and act on your implications.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Social Work. 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 Work
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 Work.
NASW Press sets out manuscript preparation for its journals in its guide to journal submissions. 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.
For more, see our pages on manuscript editing for more than 200 journals, journal article editing, and developmental editing.
