Manuscript Editing for Western Journal of Nursing Research Articles
The Western Journal of Nursing Research is an international journal and a forum for nurse researchers, students, and clinical practitioners. It publishes research reports, systematic reviews, methodology papers, and invited special papers. SAGE Publications publishes it monthly as the official journal of the Midwest Nursing Research Society, with its editor in chief at Rush University College of Nursing.
Research reports run up to 4,500 words, excluding title page, abstract, references, tables, and figures. Each carries about 30 references and no more than three tables or figures, and the introduction runs one paragraph. References follow the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, double-spaced. The structured abstract runs 250 words under Background, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, with four or five keywords, MeSH preferred. The text uses three or fewer abbreviations, person-first language, and AMA guidance on race, ethnicity, sex, and gender. Reporting follows CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, COREQ, or another guideline by study type. Review is double-anonymized. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Western Journal of Nursing Research
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 Western Journal of Nursing Research.
