Manuscript Editing for Violence and Victims Journal Articles
Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of evidence-based research, theory, policy, and clinical practice on interpersonal violence and victimization. It draws on psychology, criminology, medicine, nursing, and social work, covering family, school, workplace, health-care, and criminal justice settings. Springer Publishing Company publishes it.
Data-based manuscripts generally run up to about 25 pages in total, with 18 to 20 pages of primary text. Critical review papers and other justifiably longer papers are also considered. An abstract of about 125 words opens the manuscript file, followed by four to six keywords that do not appear in the title. References follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition. The whole manuscript is double-spaced in 12-point Times Roman, Calibri, or Helvetica, with body and references left-aligned. Quotations of 300 words or more from one source need written permission from the copyright holder. Our editors apply each formatting rule before the manuscript goes out. Submissions go through ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Violence and Victims
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 Violence and Victims.

If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one.
