JRRD—Adding value through technical editing
All manuscripts are professionally edited for content and clarity and for conformity with published references and house style. Often, changes are made that are not queried. If you believe any changes have altered the meaning or tone of your article, please let us know and we will be happy to work with you to correct them.
Why does JRRD technically edit (copyedit) all published manuscripts?
- To make the articles more accessible to a broad audience, including members of other scientific disciplines.
- To maximize web exposure and indexing effectiveness by using appropriate key words, citations, terminology, etc.
- To optimize content presentation such that readers will have a favorable perception of the journal and authors can take pride in publishing in JRRD.
- To summarize the technical content in an accessible and readable format and promote awareness of the research among the media, veterans, other lay audiences, etc.
- To verify the accuracy of scientific terminology and concepts.
- To provide a consistent, cohesive, and professional “look and feel” to the journal through use of house style.
- To ensure published papers are easy to read and written in correct English.
- To help authors who are not native English speakers improve the clarity of their work.
